Jazz, Funk, Fingerstyle, Solo Guitar, Worship, Strumming Guitar Coach

Hi, I haven't been active here....

I've been professionally performing for events (corporate, private, national & international) as well as being a residence musician (regular gigs).
I also love to impart what I know to others. I teach at some International Schools and also do private teaching.

I teach my students to understand the music language (the logic/system behind the music), how we understand guitar fingerboard mapping, to be able to optimize hearing (chords, scale, melody), finger works, and others. Understanding the system will bring us learn faster (rather than just memorizing blindly), it enables us to dismantle the song and build up/re-create it again as we like - that's some creative process we all want to aim.

I teach jazz, fingerstyle (or not so fingerstyle), funk, solo guitar playing ("playing band in the guitar" - as all components from melody, chords, bass line are in a guitar), various grooves/styles (funk, latin, Brazilian, etc), worship songs, strumming, playing in the band and others.
Here're some samples of my teaching :

Thank you
 
Some have asked me if I play jazz or fingerstyle guitar, so I mentioned that it's not necessarily a jazz guitarist plays fingerstyle, and at the other hand it's not necessarily a fingerstyle guitarist plays jazz.

I then briefly explained that jazz is a MUSIC GENRE that rich in scales, harmony, groove and improvisation; where else fingerstyle is a GUITAR TECHNIQUE that uses fingers (instead of pick/plectrum), it usually encompasses the bass line, chords, melody and ghost notes percussively.

To me I love to combine the genre and the technique to be playful in expressing the tune I play. Here's a snippet from the showcase I did at Learnix sometimes back when I was explaining about major & minor tonality re-arrangement.

Could you spot the different feeling of major and minor tonality in this nursery rhyme?
