About Tod

I offer the best in guitar instruction on electric or acoustic guitar and bass guitar and have

many years of experience both as a player and teacher.

I equip each of my students with the skills and techniques needed to play the music they love, in a way that’s easy to understand, practical to use and at a pace that is comfortable for each student.

All students are welcome from beginner to advanced. We can cover every aspect of playing including chords, finger picking, scales, soloing,rhythm, harmony and theory, and experience the excitement of how it all comes together in a song.

I want all of my students to experience the feeling of success in playing the music they love, on the level they want to play, while building a deeper understanding and joy for music.

All styles of music are taught including rock, jazz, blues, folk,classical, pop etc. There's nothing we can't do on the guitar!

I've been playing since I was 11 years old. As I got older and started playing professionally people starting asking me for lessons. I first started teaching to supplement my income but grew to love it and discovered it was a perfect fit for me. I love the one on one, and seeing people succeed,and getting the most out of their time by cutting through all the information out there in the quickest possible way.



After attending Boston University I studied privately with a number of teachers in and around the New York City area.

Linc Chamberland was my primary teacher and also influenced my teaching style.

I've been teaching, performing, composing and recording since and love it.

I want to get to know the student's musical interests so I can better steer the lessons to the style of music they enjoy. It makes what they learn more relevant. For instance, if we are learning about suspended chords I can show them examples from songs they already know. If a student has been playing guitar already I want to find out what their abilities are to better focus on the best direction they should take. I have a tried and true method that has been very successful. Playing guitar involves learning all the various chords and the techniques like strumming techniques, bass notes ,fingerpicking needed to play those chords. Also, single notes or scales for melodies and soloing, and finally putting it all together in songs.

I teach students of all ages from beginner to advanced, electric and acoustic guitar in all styles of music. Currently my youngest student is 7 years old and my oldest is 75. I have a lot of music and I'm always adding new songs but I encourage students to bring in anything they've been listening to and I will show them how to play it note for note. I also want my students to understand what they're doing no matter what their level of playing is. Then they can ultimately teach themselves and find their own personal style of playing.



Lessons are personal and you want a teacher who is personable and has a command of the instrument. The best teachers make it simple. Understanding music is not hard. Practice is what’s needed, or put another way, make a practice of playing and you are guaranteed to improve.

There are so many. Two former students who all have families, jobs and busy lives took me out to dinner, I took 2 of my high school students to a jazz concert that we all enjoyed and recently I've been teaching a former student who is finishing his music degree. I've been able to fill in and around what he's been learning and take him further. Also, teaching two of the musicians in the popular band Goose. I don’t take credit for their incredible talent but I am grateful I was able to be a part of their music journey.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
To give yourself the best chance of success you should plan on committing to a lesson a week for several weeks. Put the lesson time in your calendar and plan around it. Think about what music you would like to play and what your goals are. This can help the teacher define the best course of action for you .Are you into rock and roll, blues, jazz or acoustic, fingerstyle, classic or alternative etc. or maybe all of it!
