I want students to excel the fastest they can on guitar. Though I know it is important to let students learn at their own pace, I will never cease to challenge them through difficult pieces or exercises. I will develop plans and keep track of progress so that students and I can stay organized and ensure the learning is fluent. I will direct lessons based on what the student wants to learn most and what genres of music they are interested in. I also change the structure of lessons based on how the student learns. The basics I want students to learn from my lessons are basic chords, fretboard knowledge and music theory, finger-picking styles, p

Full Circle Songwriting And Guitar Lessons

As is states in the name, these are not limited to simple guitar lessons. I have been an avid songwriter for almost 20 years. Yes, I can help you learn to read tabs, play scales, chordes, strum, fingerpick, and develop styles from folk to heavy metal—but what I am truly passionate about is helping you become a songwriter.
I started off as an intimidated teenager with a horrible singing voice and crippling stage fright. But with persistence and passion, I got to the point of headlining venues, as well as running my own open mic in San Francisco.

I believe every artist has their own unique approach and style whether they are 2 years old or 60. With the proper tools and guidance my students learn while also having the freedom to make their own choices. This allows for the artist within to really shine through in their work.
Camino Music Studio

Each session, I focus on teaching a lesson tailored specifically to each students' needs and moving step by step accordingly based on a structured syllabus. If necessary, and at no cost to the student, I am willing to go overtime with the student to ensure that they go home with a clear understanding of their piano pieces and what is expected from them in their assigned homework. This allows for our lesson in the following week's session to be as productive as possible in order for us to move on to the next level and learn new music pieces. I also teach Music Theory classes to help...

Atlee Gillette Guitar Lessons
My teaching approach:
I tend to break lessons up into information days, where I lay the down the heavy, and jam days, where we have a little fun, and work on your musicianship. If I persuade you to buy new gear I will teach you how to set up and care for it. My working guitar is a Standard Telecaster that gave a matte finish and put in some vintage Lindy Fralin's. I have two Stratocasters, a semi hollow jazz box, an acoustic and a P Bass that I can bring for students to use. I gig with a Fender Deville, but when traveling out for lessons I bring a Rolland Micro Cube and a loop station to practice improv and scales.

Frequently asked questions
How much do guitar lessons cost?
The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 per hour. Available for all ages and all skill levels of guitar playing, the pricing of individual or group guitar lessons can start as low as $20/hour. Teachers charge based on their location, years of teaching, levels of knowledge and expertise, and travel time (if applicable). Lessons can last from half an hour to a full hour, and are priced accordingly.
How long does it take to learn guitar?
If you just want to learn a few chords to strum along to some songs, then learning to play the guitar really isn't that hard for most people. Many students are able to learn a few chords and get a decent strumming pattern going after a few weeks. If you've had prior experience playing an instrument, you can expect to pick it up after just a few lessons.
Should I take guitar lessons online or in person lessons?
Private in person guitar lessons with a skilled instructor that is focused on you, your interests, and your progress is the most sought after experience and hard to replicate online. Plus, you tend to learn faster in person. On the other hand, online guitar lessons are quickly becoming popular. The selection of teachers is not limited to those in your geographical area and you can communicate via video in real time with your teacher in the comfort of your home. When filling out your request on Lessons.com, we recommend you select both online and local options, then compare your options and see what works best for you.
How old should children be before starting guitar lessons?
A child as young as 4 can begin to learn if they are really motivated and have a patient, creative, and devoted teacher. However, we've found almost all kids under six are too young to benefit from formal guitar lessons, as they require dexterity and levels of concentration children their age can't provide. That being said, lessons do not need to be formal right off the bat, and can just provide a fun introduction. Also, your child may benefit from using a ukulele to start, as it's smaller and easier to learn, but very similar instrument.
