    Even though David has a masters degree in music and was a college professor, his teaching methods are customized for people who just want to have a good time, but also learn the correct way. Highly recommended.

    David, takes the time to work with you in learning to play the guitar. I had no experience in playing when I first starting taking lessons with David. Now, I feel comfortable in my lesson, with my baby steps. I have been taking lessons with him for a couple of years, he is a great teacher.

    Dave is a great guitar teacher! He makes sure you get the material he’s assigned! If you don’t understand something, he wants you to call him so you will learn what you’re supposed to. Totally recommend!

    I’ve been Dave’s student since 2016. I’ve enjoyed learning about jazz improvisation, music history, and theory. I also enjoy exploring topics that interest me such as bossa nova and musical arrangements of popular songs. Overall, Dave is a great teacher that encourages you to appreciate music and be the best you can be.

    Frequently asked questions

    I explain to the student how my street guitar curriculum works and how thier unique interests and goals will factor into the curriculum.

    I have a Masters degree in music and a bachelors degree in music.

    $130 a month four four 30 minute lessons once a week.

    I started teaching at a music store when I was 19 years old at atomic guitars in Little Rock, Arkansas.

    I have a worked with adults and teenagers who want to learn how to play the guitar as a hobby as well as college students getting a degree in Music.

    I own and started a nonprofit called Guitar Wars, which is Arkansas‘s only amateur guitar competition. It also raises money to fund scholarships for teenagers who can’t afford music lessons in central Arkansas.

    I would look at the way that they teach, their qualifications, and their experience.

    The big question is, can you practice 20 to 30 minutes a day. Most of my adult students seem to get by all right on 10 to 15 minutes four days a week!
