Fingerstyle Guitar Intensive
Make Your Guitar Sound Like an Entire Band!
A BRAND-NEW 10-Week Intensive with Armand Sanchez | Starting January 2027

That's the magic of fingerstyle guitar, and it's exactly what you'll work toward in this brand-new 10-week Intensive with Armand!

GET TO KNOW ARMAND!
Hi! I’m Armand and I have a passion for all kinds of music.
Whether it be Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Frank Sinatra or Bach, I believe there is a lesson in everything.
One of my favorite parts about being a teacher is sharing perspectives with my students. If you’ve taken a lesson with me, you know that I'm deeply interested in learning what you like to listen to. This then opens the door for me to share music with you that you may have never encountered before. As a result of this, both of our horizons broaden as well our appreciation for music and learning its mysteries.
Our favorite songs are the whole reason we started down this path in the first place and as such, they are the focal point of my lessons. Yes, sometimes technical exercises and even theory are necessary but I find it important to always relate it back to the music that we love and aspire to play. I don’t aim to simply teach notes but rather teach creative problem solving solutions that you can use far into the future.
To this day, I can still hear the voices of my teachers guiding me through each new passage of music I take on. I hope to pass on their influence and similarly be a voice of guidance to any student I take under my wing.
