I need a guitar teacher in Brooklyn NY....

Question

BEFORE YOU ANSWER!

I am looking for a teacher with a large variety of rock influences ranging from classic rock to heavy to even death metal. Also some blues and jazz. I am looking for a professional player with good teaching skills and a laid back attitude. I want to learn advanced harmonizing, complex sweep picking , some crazy unheard of scales and exotic techniques. Please recommend someone matching this criteria who can offer lessons for a reasonable price in Brooklyn, NY.

I am 16 and have been playing guitar for a little over a year. I've played shows with a thrash metal band and am extremely devoted to music. I play most days 6-8 hours and am already playing stuff like Technical Difficulties - Racer X. Almost all of scarified - Racer X, tornado of souls- megadeth, some of arpeggios from h**l - yngwie malmsteen. I like d**n near every type of music including country, folk, techno, h**l even some rap. My main influences in music however are Paul Gilbert especially the work with Racer X, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Tenacious D, Dethklok, Children of Bodom, some Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica. AC/DC Guns n Roses Poison Motley Crue Marilyn Manson System of a Down Lynard Skynard Led Zeppelin Van Halen Judas Priest Black Sabbath (Dio) Symphony X Kansas, The Darkness and more. So perhaps a teacher with similar interests would be good. If you read up to this point i greatly appreciate your help and support, and your attention span. Thanks

I found someone to do my lessons on craigslist. There are always posts for music lessons, especially in populated areas like NYC.

If you can't find one that looks interesting, try making a post in the "Gigs" section and explain what you're looking for.

Good luck.
