Hey, my name is Matt and I am 16. I have been playing guitar for 8 years (seriously for a year and a half or so). Technically i think i know enough to be able to mentor, although, admittedly, some techniques (mainly ones that aren't prevalent in music i listen to) are beyond me. However, i think i have a pretty natural sense of timing and have a pretty good ear as well. I think both of these things may be more important to pass on to a student than techniques they won't be able to do for a few more years. Mainly i like instrumental guitarists like Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Marco Sfogli, Andy Timmons, etc. I think that i would be a good mentor because i have taught kids (from my town) lessons for a couple years now and also i give lessons on Youtube and seem to have pretty good feedback from that. I also am open to any type of music so hopefully the student will feel comfortable asking to learn any genre. Plus, i have to admit that i am on the internet at least a few times a day (a little sad, yes) so i will be quick to answer any questions one might have. Also, being 16 i think that i could relate to many beginning guitarists (possibly being young) because i am around their age and also was probably around their skill level only a few years ago.
What I would most want to learn is more aspects of theory and how to put together a song. I am downright useless on the drums and although i have the equipment (logic pro) i have never put in the time to make a full song. I would also like to become more creative in my improvising (probably goes along with theory).

Certainly there are better players on here than me and plus i signed up only recently (like a week ago) so others have paid their dues more than i have. Anyways, i hope you consider my entry. Also, i would like to say that lcsdds should definitely be considered (with me or before me) because he was the one who helped me learn both of the andy james songs and is a really good player as well!
