Ann W. says, "Mr. Bob is truly amazing! He is incredibly patient and has a unique ability to understand how our son learns best. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach, he tailors each lesson to fit our son’s learning style, which has made all the difference. We’ve been so excited to watch his confidence and progress grow, and it’s been wonderful to see him genuinely enjoy learning new pieces.

Hello, my name is Eric. Lessons with me are learning fundamentals, reading music on the staff, and of course learning your favorite songs! I’ve been playing guitar for 25 years and took lots of lessons in that time. I developed my own way to approach the guitar, which I think could be more engaging for the student.

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.

  • 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.

  • Can I have one lesson for free to see how I like it?

  • 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?

  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?
