YOU MUST GO BEYOND THE TECHNIQUE

THE 4 PILLARS OF MY METHODOLOGY 

My method allows the student to develop with a structured work that makes him self-sufficient and accelerates his evolution as a complete guitarist.

This happens because the direction of the work goes beyond the simple approach of guitar techniques, also going to issues of preparation and training of the muscles and the development of adjacent knowledge that will make your way of play the guitar more authentic and in line with Brazilian musical style.

1. Customized Method

We will create a custom method focused on what you need, your style and the skills you already have In the more than 15 years that I've worked with Brazilian music and styles, I realized that the person who has a legitimate desire to express himself already has everything he needs within him.

All we need to do is create a unique method of guitar techniques that organizes the student's ideas and skills so that he can play the Brazilian guitar  authentically, coherently and with high performance

2. Authentic Brazilian guitar technique

I often say that guitar technique is a means and not an end for a guitarist.

It is impossible to develop skills that really works without taking into account everything that surrounds the guitarist and what he/she needs or wants to develop.

A consistent technique opens up possibilities for an authentic and versatile guitar skills, and it is essential to be fully aware of what you are doing and what your intention is, both in the preparation and in the execution of each song.

3. STYLE AND INTERPRETATION

I always say that a guitarist without technique is limited, but good technique is worthless without an interpretation and style that speak directly to your audience and cause identification.

The technique opens up several possibilities for sounds, and if well used, it provides beauty, drama, aggressiveness, smoothness and all the textures that your guitar skills needs to convey the emotion that the music asks for.

The focus on interpretation is to bring his unique way of play the guitar to life, bringing together his influences, personality and unique guitar  characteristics.

4. Self-sufficiency 

This is the time when the 360º view makes all the difference not only for your best guitar performance, but also for you to be able to do well in everything that concerns the work you do or want to do.

You need to know how to handle the various situations your activity can bring you: Some are extremely practical, such as preparation for shows and recordings, better use of equipment, sound checks, etc., and others are more complex and subjective, such as consistency between your music, image, performance and even publicity.

The complete the universe of your whole knowledge, the more complete and consistent your work will be, which certainly greatly increases the possibilities of success.
