Alex’s specialty on bass guitar is rock, funk, jazz, metal, country, and “world music.” Alex’s specialty on guitar is all styles with a focus particularly on rhythm guitar.

Guitar Center Brentwood 8105 Moores Lane Suite 1400 Brentwood, TN
I am a patient and caring instructor who always has his student's bests interests at heart. I enjoy working with students of all ages. You are never too young nor too old to learn an instrument. My main instrument is Guitar, and in addition, Electric bass. My musical journey began at the age of 10 years old with my first guitar. From this I discovered my musical gift: that I can hear music and figure it out quickly. This has brought me to 30 + years of experience as a Music Instructor. My foundation for honing my craft came from many years on the road - managing, performing and touring with my own bands. From those experiences, I grew to become fluent in many different styles - including Rock, Blues, Country, Funk and Jazz. Because of my musical education, I have a strong foundation of music basics such as reading, technic, theory, chords, scales and improv. I am an excellent choice for beginning to advanced students of all ages. My greatest experience of my life was moving to California in 1987 and attending/graduating from Musicians Institute, Hollywood California (class of 1987-1988). My Musicians Institute experience was amazing. The school was at its absolute prime at the time, with its world-renowned Instructor faculty. Tommy Tedesco, Joe Diorio, Scott Henderson, Steve Trovato, Paul Gilbert, and many more. Following Musicians Institute, I have studied privately with Steve Trovato and Ted Greene, two of the best guitarist I have ever known. Sí, hablamos español. After graduating Musicians Institute, I developed my skill set of speaking Spanish in San Fernando, California - working at a local music store for more than ten years. This was a wonderful learning experience with great reward for me. I can't thank the local Hispanic music community enough. Tu sueño es mi sueño. By 1998, I opened my own lesson studio and grew it to a complete store with retail sales, lesson instruction, musical performances and recitals. I was kept busy teaching, with at times having 70 students a week. As a self-employed business man, this was absolutely the best experience for me. I recently moved to Tennessee from California to pursue more musical opportunities such as teaching, songwriting, recording, and live performance. That is my heart and soul. This is Music City, this is where I belong!

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
