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.

Reviews for Denver blues guitar lessons
Recent success stories from people in the Denver area.

When relocating to the area, I wanted to find a professional for my child to combine electronic music production & piano lessons. My son first worked with another music school for over a year, but didn't find the lessons as engaging. Through Moon Magnet, we were directed to the best instructor for my student's interests. He is now 12 and has been working with Joia for nearly 2 years for private instruction.
From the very beginning, Joia has created a supportive and engaging learning environment that has deepened Baird's musical skills and also nurtured his passion for music. Joia tailors lessons to meet Baird's interests and abilities and incorporates fundamental to advanced concepts and techniques, making learning both enjoyable and challenging. Joia is patient, clear and encouraging, and it has been wonderful to see my student develop technical proficiency and confidence throughout the years.
It’s clear Joia is not only invested in teaching, but in helping his students grow as musicians and individuals! We highly recommend Moon Magnet to anyone seeking a dedicated and skilled music teacher. I am confident other students will benefit just as much from their expertise and passion for music!

Eric is an amazing teacher! I wasn't sure how virtual lessons would work, but Eric has an amazing setup and instructions that make them wonderfully convenient and easy! Eric is fantastic at catering the lessons to your songs and interests while meeting you where you are at. He has helped me fall in love with playing the piano again!

If you're anything like me, you get frustrated and stuck trying to learn everything you want to learn off of YouTube and other tutorials alone. Finding the right teacher who can answer questions in real time can also feel somewhat challenging. That's where Jay comes in! Not only is Jay a phenomenal artist, but he is a phenomenal teacher. He is extremely knowledgeable, clear, and patient. After even just one lesson, one can expect to walk away feeling revitalized and inspired to continue forward with their music and ideas. I cannot stress enough how worth it signing up for lessons will feel!!! 10 out of 10 stars

In my mid-50s I got the bug to learn guitar. Something I’d always wanted to do. I am so glad I found Miguel after having had mediocre (at best) experiences with other guitar teachers.
Miguel has such a passion for, and skill with, the guitar. He is fluent in all genres: pop, rock, classical, country and, his forte, flamenco. As an instructor, he works great with all ages: kids, teens and adults.
Miguel leads his students in the fundamentals of guitar using the style and genre of music of their primary interest. If you have the basics already, he can lead you to mid-level and on to very advanced techniques.
All you have to do is listen to him play and you know you’re in great hands. His smile and passion is genuine. He is patient, kind, with great energy and very encouraging. He can see what you’re trying to do and provide immediate feedback on any corrections you need to make.
Try one lesson with him and you’ll be hooked.
