I’m Dr. Andre Fludd, a guitarist, educator, and the founder of Clarity Guitar Studio.

I’ve been playing and teaching for over 20 years, working with thousands of students through universities, private lessons, and online programs. While I have performed throughout my career, my primary focus and passion has always been teaching. I especially enjoy working with adult learners who are excited about making real progress through instruction that is clear, practical, and musically meaningful.

My approach includes topics many educators fail to address: intelligent practice, systematic lessons, and both physical and mental health. I care about how you think while you learn, how your body feels while you play, and how to build skills without grinding yourself into frustration or pain.

I work with adult guitarists across a wide range of levels, including late beginners, intermediate players, and longtime hobbyists who want a clearer path forward. That might mean better fretboard understanding, stronger rhythm, healthier technique, more confidence improvising, or a practice routine that fits a real adult life. My goal is simple: help you play better, feel better, and enjoy the instrument for the long haul.
