Welcome to Guitar Player Dojo
Learning to play guitar is a lifelong journey that doesn't have to be hard. There is another way.
Why the Dojo is different
Modern Techniques
The Dojo uses high-quality video and audio instruction to help you develop the skills and abilities to be the player you've always wanted to be.
Getting Beyond Theory
Rather than learning "theory" for its own sake, Dojo classes are designed to be practical supporting your learning goals and objectives.
Practical Insights
Dojo classes help you discover your unique connection to music, supporting you on your musical journey.
An Alternative To Traditional Guitar Learning
Guitar Player Dojo is not just another school or generic guitar course. It's a working space to discover your unique connection to making music.
Beginner
You're just starting your journey. You can play "Cowboy Chords" and cover the basics, but are intimidated by "how much you don't know"
Intermediate
You are comfortable playing songs, have some fretboard knowledge, have limited knowledge of theory, and are out to meaningfully improve
Advanced
You've got theory and mechanical skill down. You study and practice regularly, but "finding your own sound" on the guitar remains elusive
Kenneth ("kengon") Gonzalez
Dojo Master, Instructor
kengon is a musician, singer, and composer who started his musical journey playing guitar at age 12, deep in the backwoods of Northeastern Pennsylvania with his Grandfather and uncle, learning classic Country Music.
Having developed an intense love for the instrument and music, he applied to the prestigious Guitar Institute of Technology ("GIT"), offered by Musicians Institute in Hollywood, California, and graduated with the Fall 1988 class.
He brings passion, enthusiasm, and musical skill to all of his engagements. As a working performer in the Pacific Northwest, he aims to co-create satisfying experiences with others by connecting deeply with people and celebrating the gift of music.
While fluent in multiple musical styles, his approach to playing, writing, and arranging transcends a single genre, reflecting a blend of cumulative life experience that is "uniquely kengon."
