About Me

Dustin began playing guitar at the age of 11, learning his basic chords, what a measure is, tempo, which chords work best with each other, then as he got older and more experienced, he discovered pedals and modulation then his whole life was changed. Dustin also began learning bass around the same time. He realized although the bass may LOOK like a guitar, they have two totally different functions. He studied what makes a bass the foundation of any song and how there's more to playing the root. He learned scales, triads, circle of fifths, and developed a better understanding of music theory with this seemingly "easy instrument" which in reality is what gives life to any song. Dustin has been in many bands performing in front of crowds over 20 years and decided to learn the art of music production. He built and furnished a dedicated studio with aspirations of recording local musicians, mixing for musicians and teaching his 13 year old son guitar and basic drum patterns. Dustin is fluent in all things music including songwriting and poetry and looks forward to molding new minds with everything he's learned throughout his life dedicated to music

What to expect in my Bass Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Your first lesson will consist of a full examination of your instrument and a complimentary set up if need be. Eventually I will show you how to approach setting up a new instrument and minor adjustments needed over the years. I take the importance of bass very seriously and I will start you off with the basics as I explain how you can create movement by manipulating frequencies, the importance of fills and how to synch up with a drummer. With me as your bass teacher, you will develop a unique tonality and understanding of music for virtually any genre. We will also discuss the use and importance of bass pedals such as compression and which amp/DI is best suited for your musical aspirations.


What to expect in my Song Writing Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

I will teach you song dynamics, basic melody, syllable placement, rhyme scheme and arrangements, when a bridge or pre chorus is necessary, puns and double entendres to add depth to the listener and make them think. I will teach you how to leave lyrics open for interpretation while maintaining personal relationship and meaning with your own words.


What to expect in my Record Engineer Produce

Beginner - Intermediate

I will teach you the basic idea behind music production. We'll start off with micing instruments, gain structure, and acoustic treatment. Then we'll venture off into software exploration and explain the importance of mixing and unity. You'll learn how to add and manipulate effects, proper EQ and compression, what a limiter does and how to get a full consistent mastered sound


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate

All lessons will be adjusted according to your skill set and desired genre exploration. If you're interested in heavier music we'll explore the mechanics of what creates an ideal sound in conjunction with the chords you produce. My goal is to teach you studio secrets with a simplistic approach to turning vibrations into sound. Acoustic guitar enthusiast will be introduced to what makes an acoustic perform in regards to comfort and clarity. All lessons begin with tuning and the first lesson will consist of a full examination of your instrument and complimentary set up if needed.
