Karl K. says, "If you want a short and direct answer to the question, “Should I start guitar lessons with David Joel?” then the answer is a resounding YES. Prior to working with David I had no experience playing guitar. I had a guitar I received as a Christmas gift that had not been touched in over a decade. David’s structured lessons and tailored approach to my learning needs and musical interests kept me engaged. This allowed me to make consistent progress in both my musical knowledge and playing ability. After 3 years of lessons with David I went from having zero guitar knowledge to someone who can: 1. Confidently read music (I started learning in my first lesson). 2. Play with proper technique (this becomes increasingly important as the complexity of the pieces you play grows). 3. Music history (classic rock to jazz and more David can answer many questions. Most importantly, when he does not have an answer, he is honest and says so!). 4. Music theory (While I am still no expert David’s organized approach and recommended reading material left me with a strong foundation to build from). David is a friendly instructor who keeps music fun while still imparting knowledge. He takes his role as a teacher seriously and wants to see you improve as a guitar player. With David’s encouragement I began practicing an hour a day (most of the time) and it allowed me to quickly expand my guitar skills and get the most out of our one-on-one lessons. Lastly, David doesn’t just have credentials as a Berklee College of Music graduate and former Berklee guitar teacher (among other accomplishments) but also has real experience teaching music. Playing music is a different skill set than teaching music and David mastered both. When I started guitar lessons, I had 3 different instructors who I would see weekly. They were all excellent and credentialed but David is the one I stuck with, and I have no regrets about it!" Read more

Ted B. says, "John is not only an excellent guitarist, but he also has great pedagogical intuition, which is no doubt influenced by his own extensive experience being taught by world-class guitarists. Despite considering myself to be a pretty good self-learner, John has been able on numerous occasions to point out and help me eliminate various subtle inefficiencies in the motion of both my left and right hands, which has led to more fluidity and less flubbing in my playing. The result is a more enjoyable playing experience with less frustration, as well as more freedom to focus on artistic interpretation. I can't recommend John highly enough." Read more

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.

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.

  • Can I have one lesson for free to see how I like it?
  • What are the ages of most of your students?

  • 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?

  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?

Reviews for Chester blues guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Chester area.

I have worked with a few guitar teachers in person and I've gone through the learning-by-app, lesson-on-YouTube phases. Derrick provides a mesh that's the best of both worlds - he's a teacher who can listen to what your goals are, hear your progress (or not) each lesson, and speak into it - something the apps and YouTube can't do. But my lessons with Derrick are also via zoom and so I get to learn in the comfort of my own home with a teacher who may be in a completely different part of the country from me. Its very convenient. Derrick is very knowledgeable, kind and flexible. I have a desire to break through a plateau but also learn some things that would be new to me, and Derrick is finding a way to work on both with me. Derrick is also very affordable - more, yes, than the free YouTube videos and some apps, but less than in-person teachers and, again, much more convenient. If you're interested in learning, I recommend you give him a try.

My experience with David as my teacher has allowed me to become the musician I am today and to continue growing in a natural and organized way. The foundation that David's teaching method lays down is absolutely crucial to understanding music in a greater perspective. The approach to new subjects was always at a comfortable pace, with regular encouragement from David. I never felt overwhelmed or over my head due to the way information is rolled out slowly once understood through practice. Possibly the best part of lessons with David is his ability to mold the curriculum to fit each student's individual interests while always maintaining a through line of the foundational studies. The organization of David's curriculum and the tips he offers on practice routines have lead me to become a very resourceful and efficient in my routines. I feel comfortable venturing into new topics and musical ventures on my own with these tools. On top of all of this David is a pleasure to sit with for an hour every week, I'll always be incredibly grateful for everything he has taught me over the years.

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.

John is an excellent teacher. Even though I have only had a few lessons with him, he has made a major impact on my playing. First, he improved my tone by carefully analyzing my fingernail shape and how I was striking the strings, and then showing me how to file my nails more effectively, The difference is tone was amazing. He then came up with new fingerings for some Bach and Borroso pieces I was working on that made difficult passages easier to play as well as more musical sounding. John also made other recommendations for phrasing and highlighting the melody lines, which came from his careful listening to my playing. Between lessons, he was available for lengthy email discussions and he send me PDFs of music I requested. Finally, John is very warm, personable, and approachable, and he offers critiques and recommendations in a matter-of-fact, generous manner that makes it easy to hear. He is also willing to share his own struggles with the classical guitar, which is disarming and reassuring. Oh-- and BTW he is an excellent player! I've loved listening to him play either live or in videos.

Chris Oh is a very gifted guitar teacher. My son has learned so much from him and enjoys coming to his lesson every week and even enjoys practicing! The Dream School is a wonderful place to take lessons and the owners are a pleasure to work with. The recitals they have for the students are a perfect way to encourage playing in front of a group. Highly recommend the Dream School.
