Hi, thank you for considering me as your teacher. I've been playing for 43 years and teaching for 27. I love teaching the basics of playing guitar just as much as digging into your favorite songs and figuring out how they do what they do, so I work well with beginners and advanced students. Acoustic singer songwriter stuff is my specialty. I teach at Union Music in Worcester, Massachusetts, and I have a rented space at Faith Church in Auburn, also I teach from my home in Barre, Massachusetts or the student's home. I even teach online, via FaceTime or Skype. For me to teach you effectively I need to know some things about you, like what kind ...

I have launched many musicians who play their favorite songs with friends, play in local bands, and got accepted into local Academies. I am a real teacher. I have worked as a counselor for 15 years, and as a teacher's aide for 3 years. I have performed in many different styles; solo acoustic, country, blues, r&b, classic rock, and swing jazz. I focus on the simplicity in giving the student what they need to play something and understand it, and don't give them what they don't need. I like to see what is the next step for a student in their development and see them light up when they get it going....

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.

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?

Mike is a very nice guy, easy to get along with and a true master of his craft. My only mild complaint is that he knows so much that his default level of expectation for newbies (like me) is a little high. That being said, I was thrilled to have worked with him and look forward to working with him again when circumstances allow.

What I like most about Russell is that he is such an enthusiast and encyclopedic savant of modern and classic folk, rock, blues and country. If he doesn't know the song from memory, he'll fire it up on his phone and figure it out in real time. And he readily adjusts to what you want and need. If you just want a partner to play with, that's fine with him. If you want to go deep on music theory, he's there for you as well.

He is very passionate about teaching guitar. I was set at ease right away and he led me through the path that he will take me to learn the guitar. I could not have expected to find such a caring and professional instructor. Can't wait for my next lesson.

Colin is great at breaking down an overall approach to guitar into silos, and honing in on the core of each. He had a way with conveying topics like chords and improvisation that were very rewarding. Often I’d find myself sitting in a lesson with him thinking “Whoa, this is so simple and obvious in hindsight. How didn’t I think of it this way from the start?” That’s a great feeling. He’s always passionate in explaining different angles of improvisation, and the enthusiasm he had while breaking down areas of music theory and technique got me feeling more enthusiastic about those areas myself!
