Ryan has a patient, open demeanor and a great sense of humor, all of which are necessary aspects in any teacher. He's one of those rare instructors whose skill doesn't get in the way of him finding a way to connect with each student on their level. Personally, he has helped me discover the musician in myself, which is an accomplishment that will continue to shape my life in ways I'd never imagined when I first started working with him.

Learning with Seattle Guitar Mentor has been incredible. I've learned and improved beyond what my wildest dreams were for guitar, and feel more motivated and inspired to continue to learn as a result. Seattle Guitar Mentor provides a multi-faceted approach to guitar. Want theory? You'll learn it. Want technique? You'll practice it. Want to send channel your feelings and send them out from the guitar? Seattle Guitar Mentor will give the know how to make the guitar sound how YOU want it to sound, regardless of genre or interest. Going to lessons each week is 100% the thing I look forward to most each week. It's so obvious that Ryan cares so deeply about what he teaches, and it comes through in the lessons. I can't recommend Seattle Guitar Mentor enough.

From the free introductory lesson on, I knew Ryan was the right teacher for me. I think he’s the right teacher for anyone who wants to improve their guitar playing or start learning. You won’t be disappointed. I can’t imagine wanting another teacher ever. You’ll set achievable goals and you’ll be inspired to reach them. You’ll learn very specifically how to practice. You’ll feel welcomed and supported, even if you feel unsure of yourself or your skills. You will see your playing improve if you practice what you learn. Ryan is in it for you. He wants nothing more than for his students to succeed. He is a top-notch educator with many years of experience, and I can’t say enough good things about his program.

I started Seattle Guitar mentor after a 10 year hiatus from playing. From day 1, I could see my playing improve and began correcting bad habits I had previously developed. The program’s focus on excellency inspired me to build the skills I needed to take my playing to the next level and expanded my arsenal, allowing me to play more and better. Sign up now! You can thank me later.

I have played guitar for nearly forty years and have just completed my first three months of lessons with Seattle Guitar Mentor. Without a doubt, this experience has improved the quality of my playing, my knowledge of the instrument, my ability to communicate with other musicians, and the level of enjoyment and satisfaction I feel when I pick up my guitar and play. I highly recommend Seattle Guitar Mentor to players of all skill levels.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Ryan Duke. I came to him after hitting a wall with my playing development. He gave me a few tools and scales to work with, then immediately started pushing me to constantly improve each of those. I've been going for months and my playing has gotten SO MUCH BETTER in such a short time. I honestly cannot believe that I know the things I now do. Also, these are group lessons which scared me at first. But playing with a group of varying skill levels honestly helps inspire me to try new things as I hear others discover them. Ryan's attention to detail on all of his students is astounding and I am actively trying to get a friend or two to join in the fun with me.

Hands down the BEST guitar lessons around! I felt really discouraged with guitar before I started but with Seattle Guitar Mentor I feel really cared for and I'm seeing so many results in just a short period of time!! It's so reassuring for an instructor to know my specific playing style and goals and be able to tell me exactly what to practice and give knowledgeable feedback.
