Why should I take classical guitar lessons?

You should take classical guitar lessons if you have an acoustic guitar and want to learn how to play classical concertos or Spanish-style music with fingerpicking.

Develop your fingers to focus on complex fingerpicking techniques
Understand classical music theory and sight-reading

I have been getting guitar lessons with Bryan for over two years. As a forty something year old, who can be very stuck in his ways, Bryan has been abundantly patient with my slow learning process. He is thoroughly knowledgable of the guitar, adapts to my learning curve, finds real life examples that helps move me along in the right direction. So very thankful I decided to go with Bryan as my teacher. He does the music world good simply being the kind of teacher he is.

I’ve been taking lessons with Anthony for about 6 months now, and my guitar playing has definitely improved. Some lessons we have deep discussions on music theory concepts, other lessons we’ve worked on songs and used them as blueprints to learn different techniques or chords or what have you. For example, recently we’ve been working on “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas, and within a month I’ve gone from never fingerpicking an acoustic to playing the song with a degree of efficiency. Genre-wise, we’ve worked on everything from Megadeth to Louis Armstrong, so he’s definitely versatile. He’s also helped me with writing my own material, and has a great recording setup. His prices are fair, and his schedule is usually pretty flexible if I can’t make a lesson one week he finds time for me. Whether you want to sight read music or play some songs around the campfire or shred like Van Halen, he’s your guy.

I've been playing guitar since the late seventies and I'm always on the quest to learn because the learning never ends. I came to Mike Dugan through his workshops at the Fab Lab at Northampton Community College. What I value most about Mike's teaching is that he focuses on helping students understand music theory as it applies to guitar, not just tablature or scales. Mike's teaching instills the perspective that if you understand the chord structure of a song, then you'll know what's available scale wise at any point in the song, to use for playing accents, riffs, and solos. After decades of playing, even as a "front man" and "lead guitar player" and a two album recording artist, I still had a lot of holes in my understanding of guitar playing. Mike's teaching has literally changed my life as a guitarist, and I'd recommend that anyone, from beginner to seasoned troubadour give Mike's lessons a try. You won't regret it!
