Mike Alessi

Mike has extensive experience in teaching beginner and intermediate players, and truly enjoys sharing his knowledge with up and coming players. He teaches the necessary skills you need to be a well-rounded musician.

Originally attracted to the guitar by Muddy Waters, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. The blues is what shaped him as a guitar player for years, but as time went on his tastes began to broaden and Mike started to enjoy other types of music. It was then that he began to branch out into other styles, shaping Mike into the versatile musician that he is now. He brings his originality and his diverse skills into this pedagogy.
