guitar lessons (bluegrass, blues, jazz, country, etc.) in Portland, Oregon For Sale

I am offering guitar lessons (acoustic and electric) for beginning to relatively advanced students. I teach both flatpicking and fingerpicking (Travis style), and teach several different styles of music: bluegrass, blues, jazz, country, and ?folk?. I can also teach how to improvise in your style of choice. I try to integrate relevant music theory into the lessons, and also teach with emphasis on learning by hearing the music rather than by relying on tablature (or music notation). I teach at my house in NE Portland. I currently play guitar with the Steve Hall Quintet (a jazz group based here in Portland), have also done some gigs with saxophonist Reggie Houston, and participate semi-irregularly at some of Ron Steen's jazz jam sessions. My rate for lessons is $35 /hour, though a "sliding scale" is possible if you are unable to afford my going rate.
