I teach guitar lessons online, in person, and also offer group guitar classes. My guitar lesson business is based in the Springfield/Swarthmore PA area.
Zookeeper to two feral wolves masquerading as human children by day, ages 3 and 7.
You know I get so much spam from people writing in the Cyrillic alphabet through my website and I just immediately delete without even bothering to translate it.
Sure would be egg on my face if it turns out they were actually looking for guitar lessons lol.

Just watched a video of another guitar teacher talking about how he wanted students to place their fingers on the strings when playing scales. He demonstrated what he wanted students to do, and then played the scale, AND DIDN’T DO WHAT HE JUST SAID TO DO!!!

You know, if you took guitar lessons before and quit, the problem might not have been you. It could be that your last teacher was a tactless jerk

I can help 🤘.

The Looney Tunes Tasmanian Devil was inspired by any 3year old boy. Prove me wrong. The spinning, the shrieking, the overflowing handfuls of goldfish into the mouth.

Wondering which version of the open G chord is right? The truth is, there is no one right way to play it, it depends on the song you’re playing. If you’re playing Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd you have to use the 4 finger version of G.
