Experience matters when looking for the right instructor. Many choices in todays guitar landscape. With over 30 years teaching and have studied with top instructors myself I bring a very organized and hands on approach to my lessons.Located in Ct. I offer both in person lessons and online lessons all across the country. I have written 2 guitar method books so I have a method in place to get you playing. I use the state of the art online platform with live whiteboards, file sharing and enhanced video and audio for a great online lesson. Let's get you playing
