Les Gutknecht Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I like to find out about the student first.How far along they are,what they're interested in etc.I like to get the student using a metronome asap to develop they're rhythm.Ear-training is a must also.

Jeff Beck,Johnny Winter,Ritchie Blackmore,Roy Buchanan,Robin Trower,Frank Marino,Pat Travers,Joe Satriani,Eric Johnson,Gary Moore

My guitar lessons take place in:
