About Tim

My mission is to help anyone who has been told they're not able to play guitar, or have quit out of frustration, or been told they're too old or too young to play.

I love introducing young beginners to their first songs, helping adult students find their voice in music & guiding players in advanced or specialized study. I currently accompany my band Dont Give Up in the Pacific North West area in the United States. I also have a pay for monthly subscription lesson service.

I am a native of Portland, Oregon (USA), studied harmony & theory with musicians institute coursework & virtuoso Rex Carroll from Atlantic Records signed band Fierce Heart, also in Whitecross, King James. Shawn Gette who is in the band Forbidden Symphony, who in his words once took over a gig for Steve Vai and the American Guitar Academy. I continually attend workshops whether it's John Standefer's , (winner of the 2002 National Fingerstyle Guitar Contest and open division winner of the 2004 International Home of the Legends Competition.also columnist of Acoustic Guitar magazine), or Britt Festival advanced workshop where they had Helmet's lead guitarist Page Hamilton teaching Jazz & multiple genres of music. I perform extensively as a singer songwriter and has since made performing guitar and teaching online guitar lessons my two primary pursuits. I have over 20+ years experience playing lead, rhythm on both electric and acoustic guitars & being in multiple bands, worship bands. I also played alongside bands like the Illuminatics and the Dan Seymour Band who played with Steppenwolf & The Ben Rice Band. I also been on several recorded CD projects including his latest release Dont Give Up.

I went to Portland Community College to get his Associate's Degree in Business Administration, and then went to Portland State University to get his Bachelors in Management and Human Resources Management Degree.

Genres include Acoustic, Blues, Country, R&B, Funk, Latin, Jazz, Rock, Pop and more.

My teaching style is geared towards the individual. I try to find the strengths and needs of each student as each lesson is customized to their learning style and different for each one depending on what they want to learn.but makes sure they are having fun & progressing. I have a Learn and Master guitar book I use as well to cover everything for those that want to learn it all. I will have you learn songs, scales and exercises to help develop each player. I incorporate music theory with learning songs and introduce different practice routines. All ages and styles are welcome.

I love to play as a band to. When you are ready, I love to bring out the drum or backing tracks to your favorite artists songs and I can drop the key to make it fit your guitar tuning , while you play guitar and I'll play what your not, giving you the feel of a live group situation that can make learning at your lesson more fun.

I took lessons from a professional guitar lesson company who will remain anonymous as they treated me like a number. They didn't answer any of my questions. I told myself I would never have anyone feel like their a number and pursued to work with anyone who wouldn't give up on themselves. I have my business "Don't Give Up" Guitar Lessons and that is exactly how I live my life and teach my children.

I have taken a college level harmony and theory course. I also attended and completed a Praise Guitar workshop from John Standefer, a winner of The National Fingerstyle contest. I also attended The 2016 Britt Festival Guitar workshop and was the assistant to the teacher. I have a Bachelors degree in Human Resources Management. I read guitar world, watch guitar videos, read books, forums, play Rocksmith, watch Youtube or do anything to stay up to date and learn what's out there.

About the lesson

I like to meet with people and get familiar with who they are, and what they are looking for. That way I know what kind of music they like, who are their musical influences, what kind of songs they would like to play.

Anyone no matter their age, disability, challenge, restriction, it doesn't matter what their ethnicity, race, sex, age, origin is. We can communicate through music and speak two different languages.

Know what you want, and ask questions, to make sure we are both on the same page. You want to make sure their is a connection for you to invest your time and hard work.

I had a single mother that was struggling and felt like giving up. She had to worry about her younger son disturbing her lesson via skype, and had to make sure he was put to bed on time. She was willing to hang in there and asked for extra practices 2x a week for an hour & she was able to play with her friends band at the Hard Rock Cafe in San Antonio, Texas.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Dream big. I will be able to help you get focused & show you how to get there. Visions are created out of ideas that we suggest to allow out of your mind.

I find that I'm lower than most studios, due to me not having to rent out any special equipment. I have all the tools my clients need to exceed their expectations.
