With 40 years of playing the guitar my students progress faster than the students taking lessons at a music store. I know how to develop the right and left hand coordination. Technique and avoiding the pit falls of improper practicing. Watching my student progress like do do, brings a smile not only to their face but mine as well. That's why I love teaching guitar so much!

Jennifer S. says, "My daughter’s voice and piano teacher was outstanding. I love that she came to the house. So convenient! I don’t think we could ever go back to going out for lessons. I especially loved that the approach to vocal training honored and preserved the uniqueness of my daughter’s voice, while expanding her range and control. She got kind and constructive feedback on her songwriting that always made her songs stronger. What I loved best was the joyful laughter and positive emotions that were generated during lessons! Mountainside Music Academy was the foundation of a love for music making in my daughter. I am so grateful we stumbled upon them." Read more

I am an Emmy winning songwriter from my work with PBS, with a BILLION hits on YouTube for my songs. I am an accomplished instrumentalist as well, having released some dozen albums, and I play guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and tenor banjo. Gypsy jazz is one area I specialize in, but I also play Folk, Americana, Rock, Blues, Country and other styles. I also have a PhD in Writing, and I am the author of a number of books--children's literature, books on neuroscience, fiction, cartoons, and more. I enjoy seeing people learn new skills and progress to become the songwriter or musician they want to be....

  • Mastering the 12-bar blues progression and blues scales
  • Learning unique techniques like string bending, slides, and vibrato

What age is best to start blues guitar lessons?

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.

How many blues guitar lessons do I need?

The number of blues guitar lessons you need all depends on what you're aiming for and how long you practice. Beginners typically learn how to play a simple song in 2 to 6 months on average. However, mastering blues guitar takes at least 4 to 10 years.

How do I find the best blues guitar lessons near me?

If you want to find the best blues guitar lessons for you, then look at teachers nearby on the Lessons website. You can also check out guitar lessons at your local music shops. Before you choose a guitar teacher, remember to do these things:

  • Check prices from 3 different teachers and ask what they'll teach you.
  • Read what others said about them on Google and on the Lessons website.
  • Ask for a list of other people they've taught to see if they're good.
  • For kids, ask other moms and dads what their kids say about the teacher.
  • Get a plan on paper about when your lessons will be before you start.
  • Pay a little at first to see if you like the teacher before you pay for a whole month.

What questions do I ask when choosing a blues guitar teacher?

To find the best guitar teacher, you could ask these questions:

  • What type of music degree do you have?
  • How long have you been teaching blues guitar?
  • Can I have one lesson for free to see how I like it?
  • What are the ages of most of your students?
  • Which kind of blues guitar and equipment should I buy to practice with?
  • Will you give me some finger patterns to practice at home?
  • How much should I practice at home between lessons?
  • What books should I get, and do you know where I could find used ones?
  • How many different blues guitar techniques can you teach?
  • If I'm struggling with learning, can you change the way you teach me?
  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?
  • Can I have a copy of our class plan, agreement, and how much it costs?
  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?

Best and greatest music class I have ever taken, he really cares about your development and is patient and extremely knowledgeable. His classes made me care about music again and now when I wake up and the first thing I want to do is create! His class feels like a gift and I'm blessed to have him as a teacher.

Mountainside Music Academy is an amazing resource for quality music lessons of all types of instruments, voice, and theory. Both of my kids have taken lessons in voice, piano, and music theory for years with MMA and have gained skill, technique, and confidence while really enjoying their lessons. The teachers are very talented musicians and know how to tailor lessons to what each student needs. A great bonus, when in person classes resume, is that the music teachers will come to you, which makes it one less driving trip for parents! I highly recommend it for beginner through advanced learners.

We love our instructor, Louis Racicot. He is so patient with my kiddo. I'm not sure if he had experience with instructing a child with autism...virtually, but he's doing wonderfully well! He is a professional. His instruction is simple. He breaks the music down in bite size pieces and allows my kiddo to succeed. He's the best!
