A structured, data-driven approach to guitar education. Track your skills, see your progress, and level up through a curriculum designed to get you playing the music you love.
After years of self-teaching with online content, I learned firsthand what works and what doesn't. That struggle shaped everything about how I teach.
At OGA, every student gets a personalized roadmap based on their unique learning archetype. We don't guess -- we measure. Our student portal tracks 50+ individual skills so you can see exactly where you are and where you're headed.
Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or you've been playing for decades and hit a wall, our structured approach will get you past it -- faster than you thought possible.

We have a personal road map for your personal journey that you can work at your own pace. I guarantee your success if you follow our instructions from class to class!
I have experienced the failure of the self-taught method for over 10 years of online content. Personally taking lessons taught me what's important to every student, the bad habits to fix, the order of information to digest, and how to make connections. My students have an accessible teacher every week -- this has produced rapid results, sometimes in half the time. You get better, faster results with a physical teacher that online content can't replicate.
Each lesson will have all kinds of students with various skill levels working on the same content. We all are striving in a supportive environment to achieve our goals. This teaches you invaluable skills, helps you build connections with others who share your passion, and shows you everyone makes mistakes -- and that's okay! This makes learning more enjoyable and leads to a higher success rate for students.
A teacher should understand a student's mental strength, skill, tolerance for content, and should challenge you while being goal-oriented through the process. I believe in having an open dialogue about your needs and desires as a guitarist. Regular check-ins are important for feedback on progress and direction towards your personal goals!
