About

I truly care about my students and have the patience and experience to get them to where they want to be. I can play what YOU want to play, and will patiently teach you how to get there!

I hold a BA in music from Azusa Pacific University with an emphasis in Spanish classical guitar, also studying music theory, composition, jazz improv, and arranging. I have extensive global touring experience with various rock/pop bands, and have been performing live for decades. I like to teach students what They want to learn, but also provide a firm musical foundation. We can work on Theory, sight reading, technique, lead, rhythm, and getting to know the fretboard. All the way from simple melodies and chords, to advanced improvisation and song writing, from learning easy-advanced songs to being able to figure out songs by ear - I do it all, and am enthusiastic and patient! https://youtube.com/c/SeanHallGuitar

    Sean is a very nice guy and knows how to explain things about music. He is not my first guitar instructor, but is the best, because he makes things make sense. I am really fortunate to have found him because he has renewed my interest in learning to play the guitar. I am now confident I will succeed, whereas before I had doubts. My gratitude extends far beyond these words.

    I wasnt sure what to initially look for in a guitar instructor. However, was pleasantly pleased to find out he has 30 years experience. He is very knowledgeable and has helped me in tuning my guitar, adjusting, and he is helping me learn how to properly hold and play. Very detailed and you can tell he loves teaching and actually cares in the outcome. Flexibility in schedule time. I like that.

    Sean is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable and most importantly he is very patient. I am an older student and took in person lessons with Sean for several years. I then moved out of State and have been doing online lessons with him. At first I was skeptical as to how online lessons would work. It turns out that online lessons work great, and I dont have to leave the house! If you are looking for a great teacher, look no further.

    I take acoustic guitar lessons. My 13 year old daughter takes ukulele lessons. We’ve been with Sean about 18mo. Unlike youtube videos, Sean is able to watch me, listen to me, and make subtle corrections that I never imagined in learning guitar. How my fingers are angled, how to always be muting, strum hand positions, all sorts of scales and chords, a little music history and theory. I tell him what song I want to learn, and he teaches me. Sublime, janes addiction, Pearl Jam, blues stuff. We highly recommend Sean.

    Frequently asked questions

    I like to begin with building the muscles and coordination in the fingers. Learning control is key, but at the same time be learning melodies and eventually learning chords. Starting a ground floor foundation towards the individuals desired goals is my staple approach.

    I hold a Bachelors Degree in music, specializing in Spanish classical guitar from Azusa Pacific University. I have been performing live and touring for decades. My compositions have been on Tv, movies and on radio. I have been teaching professionally and consistently for over 30 years.

    $35 per half hour weekly. (Pay for 4 in advance = $140 per month (28 day cycle)

    At your home is $80 per hour plus travel.

    I started teaching in high school when friends and acquaintances wanted to play as well as I did.

    I've worked with all ages, 5yrs to 88yrs old, all levels and styles, ameuters to professionals.

    My band(s) play for Charity events, it's a privilege to give to the community.

    Hire me! I'm patient, extremely knowledgeable, less expensive than guitar center/music and arts, and more experienced and educated than any teacher you'll find there. I've had many students go on to play professionally, and a lot just learn to enjoy the instrument with friends and family, and some just learn to enjoy the instrument more for their own personal hobby. Whatever the case, I am happy to get you there!
