Hello there! I have been playing music since I could barely play some twangy notes on my first guitar in 5th grade. Fast forward to present day and I have been fortunate to not just stop at the guitar but learn bass, piano (didn't start until age 21), ukulele, and audio production/recording along the way. Learning all these different instruments and skills has taught me that there's no one singular way to learn an instrument and I like to tailor lessons to the specific interests of each student, meeting them at their given skill level and then apply the fundamentals according to the song/style they're learning. I love to just chat about music

Children can start blues guitar lessons between the ages of 6 to 10 years old at the earliest. The best time is whenever they can hold the instrument easily and have the hand strength to press on the strings.

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

Sean isn't an excellent teacher. He covers everything. Theory and songs you want to learn. I am quite pleased and I have taken from a few instructors. He is one of the best!
