"She took me from never having touched a guitar in my life to... I'm about to do my first gig in the next couple of months!"
You can have the same great experience with YOUR guitar lessons!
Many aspiring guitarists think...
-
They have to practice for hours a day to get good
-
They just don't have "natural" musical ability, so they can't learn it
-
They've tried guitar lessons in the past and it was really hard, so they must not be "cut out" for it
-
All guitar teachers are basically the same; so a previous bad experience probably means more bad experiences in the future
-
You have to learn a lot of boring stuff like scales and chords, and do other tedious exercises
We always take special precautions & actions to help stop the spread of any microorganisms, such as sanitizing keyboards, microphones, and other items in our teaching studios that may be shared between students after every lesson.

I have felt like this too, and so have a lot of aspiring guitarists!
Maybe you've experienced these frustrations…
-
Teachers that can play really well, but they don't do a good job explaining to YOU how to play like they do
-
Guitar teachers who give you all sorts of random things to practice which seem very disorganized and aren't tied together
-
Spending hours practicing scales, but you don't know how to use them or incorporate them into your playing
-
No matter what new things you learn in your lessons, your playing doesn't seem to get any better
-
Hand cramps resulting from bad practice habits
-
Loss of motivation because you feel like you're not getting anywhere with your guitar playing
These issues are very real and very common, and can keep you from moving forward with your guitar playing. But the right teacher will help you obliterate these frustrations and quickly get you on the right path!
