Bryan Wade Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I help guitarists who want to play with skill and ease. You know how you can get a good start on something on your own but then hit a wall and can't break through to the next level? Well, I help guitarists bridge the gap between what they already know and what they want to know so they can play what they want to, the way they want to. My students say their skills and confidence increase more than they expected and they fall in love with guitar all over again.

My influences are:

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I find out what people love about music. I'm mostly concerned with finding out if I'm a good fit for what they need. I ask what they want to do through guitar, and then ask them to play for a minute or more depending on what they are comfortable with.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

I help people discover music for themselves. I believe that people are basically, fundamentally musical and I help them link the music inside of themselves to the guitar.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

Loves guitar.
