Guitar is a very rewarding and beautiful sounding instrument to learn. You can just play easy chords and sing or go as extreme as you want once you master it.

I have been teaching guitar for about 15 years.  I do beginner all the way through advanced lessons. There are 60 and 90 min lessons available. I have all the equipment and instruments so just bring a notebook and pen to make notes.

• Finger and Hand Positioning on the Guitar
• Finger Style Picking Technique
• Strumming Technique
