I'm Ahmad a very enthusiastic musician. I started out teaching myself guitar at the age of 12. I moved to the U.S. in 2001 and studied music for 15 years receiving my B.M. and M.M in music and audio production at San Francisco State University. I then moved to Los Angeles then studied and trained with John Mayer, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, George Lynch and many others. I have performed hundreds of concerts in the U.S. as well in Europe and the Middle East with Artists such as Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Guns N Roses, Michael Angelo Batio, Ratt, Sammy Hagar, Dokken and many others. I ranked #1 in the Slash Guitar Center competition. I was in the "list of top 5 guitar players ever" according to The Examiner, also picked as one of the best guitarists of 2013 and 2014 consecutively in the Rockwell UnScene magazine, and ranked 3rd in the Steve Vai Sam Ash Best in Shred competition.

​As a professional guitarist and producer, let me help you grow into the musician you want to be. I teach guitar (and piano), to all ages. Playing music may seem like a mystery, but believe me, it's not - it just take time, focus and knowing how to put your energy into the instrument. I want to give you the set of tools you need to start playing, and loving the sound of music.

Lessons will customized to you, with a focus on performance (rhythm, feel, musicality, improv, reading), theory and ear training, with a goal to be well-rounded player.

In my 10 years as a professional musician I have performed everything from jazz to punk rock to Broadway classics. I can help you learn to play the guitar in whatever style you are interested in. I like to approach lessons in a way that the student gets an understanding of the fundamentals of music theory while learning music that they want to learn. Whether you're just picking up the guitar for the first time, or you've been playing for a while and hit a rut we can work to improve your skills.

Together we will learn to think about the guitar differently. We will start with the basics of strumming, rhythm, and fundamental chords. We will also learn the major scales, blues, and pentatonic scales. These ideas will open the door for your creativity within the guitar fretboard and translate to other instruments as well. I will teach you how to solo and play along with any song of your choosing. The skills and ideas I will teach you will allow you to create your own music, and set you up for a successful experience with the guitar.

I have been a guitarist since I was a kid and I have learned from real professionals and online tutorials. I have recorded 4+ albums in the last 3 years under the name Randy Sax. I will instill confidence in your guitar playing to unlock your genius and style. Let's Rock!
