Bresett Guitar
About
As a multi-genre professional guitarist of 43 years, I understand the difficulties guitarists can encounter when trying to expand their abilities. As an instructor, I specialize in helping the student find the exact barrier to their progress/understanding and assist them in unravelling the mysteries of music and guitar.
I love helping people reach their musical goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Talk to the student about their goals and any difficulties they are having. Assess their playing level. Begin the actual lessons by addressing one element at a time, building on their strengths.i
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I trained formally at an early age. Began playing blues and rock guitar at age 14, Jazz guitar at 18. Primarily self taught on guitar with the exception of tutelage by Berklee alum David Peters. Learned several global styles on the job with players of different cultural origins.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
$75 per hour for individual lessons.
$200 for a block of 4 hour long lessons.
How did you get started teaching?
I began teaching in 1983. As a performing guitarist I was regularly approached for lessons so it started organically. I found out that I was able to help players out with stuck areas and get them moving toward their goals.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mainly intermediate to advanced students of all ages and genders.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure the teacher understands what you are going for. I would tend to avoid a rote, "one size fits all" lesson approach.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Ask the teacher how they approach specific problems you are having. Ask them what their goal is as a teacher.
