Jared Blankenship Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I prefer a flexible approach, building a long-term plan to meet the students' goals. We can build a solid foundation of music theory, jump right into learning cover songs, or do both. I emphasize the expressive, artistic side of musicianship and am completely flexible on supporting a variety of musical styles. I have a PA with mics, two amps and multiple guitars (electric and acoustic).

My influences are:

The Rolling Stones and Tom Petty drove me to guitar initially, but I have a pretty broad range of influences that include everything from REM and Radiohead to the Dropkick Murphys. I'll help students learn anything that they would like to learn. I have fifteen years of songwriting and performing experience.

The teacher's studio or the student's home
