Connor M. says, "Steve has played a tremendous role in the progress I've made as a guitar player. Lessons with him are enjoyable, rewarding, and low stress. He is a good listener; he pays attention to my playing and my questions, and provides valuable feedback. The work he gives me between lessons is always challenging, but reasonable, keeping me motivated and keeping the momentum going on improving my technique and musicality. He plays beautifully and seems to genuinely enjoy discussing all things related to music and the guitar." Read more

Tammi H. says, "Dan has taught guitar to two of my teenage daughters going back seven years. I first learned of Dan through a neighbor who gave him rave reviews with teaching her son. He is an excellent teacher and very reliable. One thing I have grown to appreciate is how good he is with working with different personalities, both of my girls had different interest levels with learning the guitar, one was complacent and not great with practicing and the other is obsessed. Dan has been flexible and engaging with both of them. I have recommended Dan to several friends through the years and I can't recommend him highly enough." Read more

  • Learning unique techniques like string bending, slides, and vibrato

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.
