Krystal Sl

I am a recent graduate of The Musician's Institute, with a BA from GIT. My biggest strength is the ability to be truly interested in learning and teaching all different kinds of styles and being able to incorporate them into my own playing. I studied many different guitar styles, including classic and modern rock, blues, jazz, metal/shred, fusion, funk, R&B, pop, country, and blues. I am most familiar with rock, blues, metal/shred, and funk. My own original music focuses on incorporating eclectic guitar styles into roots rock.

I am currently teaching at a highly esteemed music school in Long Beach called Millan Music. I teach 2-3 days a week, ages ranging from 5-13. I am very skilled with teaching both children, young adults, and adults.

I have about 8 years of solid live performance experience under my belt, playing both bars and restaurants mostly located in the beach cities of Southern California. I have also played some of LA's world-famous venues, including The Cat Club and the Knitting Factory.

I also studied modern Music Business while in school and afterwards, and can give beginning musicians interested in a professional career in music solid critical advice on that subject. I make my living from playing music, have produced my own album, and manage my own career from top to bottom. I am very familiar with the struggles a professional independent musician faces today and am happy to steer anyone in need in the right direction.
