Hey, all! My name is Matt Cloak and I’m a musician from Central California. I have been playing guitar for almost 30 years and have been teaching lessons for 15+ years. I also play drums, bass, mandolin, some piano, and ukulele.
I grew up being exposed to many different styles of music, but lean towards metal & indie rock. Over the years I’ve been in a several different bands, as well as playing for friends’ events, and played on many church worship teams.
I love music and can’t get enough of it! There’s always more to experience, interesting ideas and emotions to express, as well as new artists and techniques to discover. Check out my page, my lessons, and let me know if you have any questions.
