Kevin Murten Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I began playing guitar in earnest when I was 18 and studied locally with professional guitarists. I played for several years in the local band Names Withheld and enjoyed performing in various clubs and venues around Colorado Springs. During that time I also gained valuable recording experience and began writing my own songs.
