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.

I'm an elderly professional musician of many years with much knowledge and experience to share on 'HOW TO PLAY GUITAR/BASS BY 'EAR'! No learning notes or writing down any 'theories'.

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.
