Hello Portland! My name is Deniz and I'm really excited to share my first ever Lessons.com ad to promote my teaching work. I hold a bachelor’s in Professional Music from the Berklee College of Music in Boston. I've toured as a solo artist in Europe and Japan, as a guitarist in Turkey, and have played for crowds of thousands –one time it was 15K to be exact! Lessons with me dive into musical creativity and expression using tools such as songwriting, lyric writing, guitar harmony, theory, learning popular songs, and more. I'm 34 now but believe it or not I started teaching guitar and bass professionally at the age of 13. My mother is an E

I've been playing guitar for over 25 years. Studied theory, music composition and production and audio engineering in college. I've been giving lessons since I was 18 in college. At one point I had over 30 students ranging from elementary school age to my dad's age but mainly high school and college age. I'm not super strict but I will challenge you. I like to make lessons fun and interactive. Music should be fun. I will know if you didn't practice though and want students that really want to learn.

Are blues guitar lessons worth it?

A blues guitar teacher will show you the essentials like:

  • How to emphasize playing on expressively
  • Ways to get confident improvising with a jazz band
  • Mastering the 12-bar blues progression and blues scales
  • Learning unique techniques like string bending, slides, and vibrato

What age is best to start blues guitar lessons?

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.

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?

Guitar Lessons - Quality Instruction with Dr. Zisa
Ruth Ann L.
Attila is exceptional. He is a master of the arts of playing music and teaching it. He teaches chords, notes of course, and the precise finger positions each lesson with continuous feedback. Attila teaches my son with ADHD. My son learns from him and is motivated to come back with what Attila has asked of him. We haven’t had great quality from anyone else in Portland until we met this fabulous maestro, Attila Csikos. Sign up, he can teach you and yours no matter if the student is just starting, intermediate or preparing to compete for a chair in band. My son is 8 and composed a short song about our dog. Attila ties life into playing music and enthusiastically played the song with him and critiqued the score. My son is getting an opportunity to learn from the best.

Alf is a great teacher and a nice guy. He has a very professional teaching setup with videos and customized lessons. He's helped me get back my excitement for playing guitar and I've already learned more music theory than I expected to learn. Very happy with these lessons!

Alex is absolutely phenomenal, and really does well at pushing you to become a better singer. He finds way to meet you were you are, while also tailoring warmups and exercises to challenge you and improve technique. Lessons are always fun, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to strengthen their confidence in singing!

I’ve taken lessons with Russell for years and beyond just being a great person to teach you to play certain songs, I love how he’ll throw in some music theory, history, or whatever while teaching.

Daniel is an awesome guitar teacher who knows the instrument very well and has tons of experience performing! He is great with kids and knows how to tailor lessons to your specific needs. He comes to our house and my son is always super excited for his lessons. I would definitely recommend lessons from Daniel before he gets famous.
