Not playing by memorization — playing with understanding and joy.
Ask about classesPHILOSOPHY
This isn't about copying a song note-for-note and calling it done.
From posture and rhythm reading to chords, scales, and improvisation —
we focus on substance over flash.
A curriculum built step by step, where each song naturally leads to the next stage. We grow great players together.
THE LAB DIRECTOR
Winner of CJ TuneUp Season 16, guest bassist on Show Me the Money 2–4, former bassist of Verbal Jint's band. Stage and studio experience, carried directly into every session.
I've seen many players with great ears and good hands give up on the fun of playing simply because they didn't know how to approach it. Instead of fixating only on posture and the metronome, I teach fundamentals that lead to the playing you actually want to do.

CURRICULUM
Posture, tuning, and reading tab — getting comfortable with the instrument.
From 8th to 16th notes, internalizing rhythm through real songs.
Chord tones and interval analysis — learning to read a song's structure.
Your first solo, using the pentatonic scale.
Understanding the whole fretboard through diatonic and modal scales.
Deeper harmonic analysis and internalizing swing feel.
Taking rhythm and lines freely over a 2-5-1 progression.
From one-chord vamps to ii-V-I, playing freely without pressure.
A single continuous curriculum, not split into separate tracks.
How deep each stage goes is set together, at your own pace.
PRACTICE MATERIALS
I put together a practice video and sheet covering what you played that day.
The beginning mirrors the lesson exactly, and it gets gradually more challenging — so you never lose direction practicing alone.
So you can play whenever you want, I built my own metronome, drum machine, and tuner.
