Introduction

Hello and thank you for visiting Goffle Guitar's Thumbtack page! My name is Ed and am the owner and instructor. In terms of my background in music, I studied classical guitar and audio engineering at William Paterson University and have taught both privately and in music shops around northern New Jersey since 2003. I am an active musician, songwriter, guitarist and music producer. I have experience touring and have traveled throughout the US and Canada gigging. I understand the music business as well especially in today's climate. In terms of teaching guitar it's important for the student to have a custom tailored plan for meeting their individual needs and goals. I pride myself on being well rounded and adjusting to how each student learns best. I can teach a wide variety of styles from rock, blues, folk, classical and more. I am fluent in all aspects of music & guitar playing and teaching from music theory, learning songs by ear, left & right hand techniques, scales, chords, improvising, writing music notation and tablature, songwriting and more. I provide supplementary materials for my students for the lessons and practice with videos, music tracks to play along to, sheet music and much more.
