Levi Matthews is a professional guitarist and music producer currently based in the Midwest. He holds dual Bachelor degrees (Summa Cum Laude) in Guitar Performance and Music Production from Berklee College of Music, as well as a minor in guitar from Central College. Levi primarily studied under Berklee professor Joe Stump who Guitar One magazine rated Top 10 Fastest Guitar Players of All Time.
Levi has been a musician for over 30 years and a teacher for over 6 years. He has toured with numerous bands, written numerous albums, and currently writes music for a Los Angeles based A&R company, with which he has had placements with many large music libraries and syncs. All audio samples (below) were tracked produced and mixed entirely by Levi (drums, bass, guitars, and special instruments). All video samples guitar and production work completed by Levi, with backing tracks by others as noted in each video.
“Using what I learned from studying at Berklee and Central with my own teaching I take a holistic student by student custom approach. First, we establish where the students love of music began and why the student picked up the guitar. Next, we establish the vision of where the student wants to go. Then, we draft short term and long-term goals to maximize results. Many times, I see guitar and music students frustrated from not making gains in their playing. Using this custom short-term approach, we see fast gains which accelerates us to the long-term goals and ultimately sculpts the student to their vision of the musician they want to be. The curriculum starts with making a custom plan for each student. The custom plan is holistic and typically entails chordal studies (triads, 7th’s, extensions, complex chords, and the inversions of those), melody (scales, modes and chord tone targets), music theory (why the above items work and learning the language of music), ear training (intervals, and recognizing chords), and reading music (sight reading, tablature and the Nashville system). These holistically round the student while learning the beautiful language of music and taking them to their goals.”
