About Gideon

Hey, I’m a musician from El Paso, Texas, and a student at NMSU. I picked up the guitar four years ago, and it completely changed my life—I’ve been hooked ever since. Whether it’s bass, electric, or acoustic, I love helping others find that same excitement in playing. My lessons are all about making music fun and accessible, no matter your skill level. Whether you want to learn your favorite songs, improve your technique, or just jam, I’m here to help. Let’s make some music together!

Teaching Method:

My teaching style is very flexible, I'm not strict on how the lessons should be and will easily adjust my teaching to fit your level/accommodations. However, I do believe that everyone's first lesson should be structured so I can appropriately gauge you as a player. Below I've listed the first lesson you would follow and help me identify your strengths and weaknesses.

Lesson Plan: Beginner Bass Guitar (First Lesson):
