Private Guitar Lessons
with David Wolff
Online fingerstyle guitar lessons for players ready to go deeper.
Learn from anywhere.
Work directly with David through private Zoom or FaceTime lessons — wherever you are. Each session is personalized to your playing, your goals, and where you are in your journey.
Whether you're working through a specific song or refining your technique, these lessons are designed to help you make real progress — not just memorize notes.
These lessons are best suited for:
• Intermediate players
• Guitarists exploring or committed to fingerstyle
• Players who can form chords and want to go further
• Anyone looking to move beyond tab and truly understand the music
How David Teaches
Instead of relying on tablature, you’ll learn how to hear the music, understand it, and play it with intention.
David breaks down intricate songs and techniques in a way that makes them approachable — while still honoring how the music is meant to sound.
You’ll work on:
• fingerstyle technique and thumb independence
• tone, timing, and feel
• song breakdowns (note by note, when needed)
• developing your ear instead of relying on visuals
You won’t just learn songs, you’ll learn how to learn.
After working with David, you’ll:
• understand how to approach new songs on your own
• play with more confidence and musicality
• develop technique that actually sounds right
• feel more connected to what you’re playing
What once felt out of reach becomes something you can actually do.
Stay Moving Between Lessons
Progress doesn’t stop when the lesson ends.
If you get stuck on a specific part of a song, technique, or phrase, David can send you a short, focused video breaking it down — so you can revisit it and work through it at your own pace.
This is included for lesson students and helps keep momentum between sessions.
