George Foster Guitars
About
I am a guitar teacher and coach who promises immediate results. I bring out the fun and natural desire by teaching easy songs and ideas that the student likes. I teach very simple exercises that have a student getting the basic rules of timing, chords and the neck. Please check out Roxskool at my website www.georgefostermusic.com for some of my kids performances.
I love guitar! I love the dedication and desire to perform. I love to open up the endless possibilities of music and self expression. I love to watch students learn something new, ad see it can be easier than they think.

I look for exactly what a potential student's ambitions are.. ( Songwriting? Metal? Blues? Rock and Roll? Jazz?
