Dr. Marako Marcus' guitar lessons
Marako is a private rock, blues, and latin
electric guitar instructor located in Singapore, and has been with Guitar
Tricks since 2000. He started on guitar as a young teen, learning the basics
in guitar workshops.
Inspired by bands and top players like Yes, Pink Floyd, Santana, Slash, Eric
Clapton, Gary Moore, Edge and U2, Marako continued learning. He absorbed the
knowledge of other local guitar players, and began exploring improvisation. He

Dr. Marcus has been teaching privately for many years. He's conducted music
workshops in universities, churches, and local schools and community events,
with a particular emphasis on instructing young people to play with feel and
finesse.
Marako also plays bass, drums and keyboards, and is a composer of original
music for musicals and his own bands. Besides all his musical endeavors, he
holds a doctorate in business, has run an online store trading in musical
instruments, and authored a book on creativity in 2005 entitled "Yes! But.".
