About Christian L.
Close
See "Guitar" for more information
One of the most versatile styles of guitar and one of the most fun styles to teach as there are near endless ways to play.
Things that I focus on start out with simple chord knowledge including voicing and progressions, and simple scale work. If the student is interested, I usually move into the more complex variety of mixing different scales and chords for a more colorful sound.
Heavy emphasis on improvisation at all levels.
About Christian
My name is Christian L. and I am a 28 year old guitar/music instructor in the Orlando area. My interest in guitar began when I was 12 years old and blossomed into a full time obsession about 3 years later when I started playing small gigs as a solo guitarist playing simple jazz and classical pieces for small art clubs and events. Alongside gigging, I also began teaching guitar, ear training, and music theory when I turned 18 and have been teaching full time ever since. During that time I also spent 4 years in music school for classical guitar. Currently I spend my time teaching, recording, and performing various styles including rock, jazz, pop, hip-hop, musical theater, metal, and country.
Throughout the 8 years I have been an instructor I believe I have refined my teaching style to be as versatile as possible to accommodate any learn
Throughout the 8 years I have been an instructor I believe I have refined my teaching style to be as versatile as possible to accommodate any learn
ing style a student may have. I am capable of teaching all styles of guitar at any skill level with an emphasis on ear training and general knowledge of guitar techniques.
Slight disclaimer in regards to lesson length, price, and student interest:
Over the past year or so I have tried a new teaching structure that I find to be quite rewarding for myself and the students I have had. My lessons do not have a maximum time limit, meaning a lesson could go for 2 hours, if that is what the student wanted, for the same price as a 45 min lesson.
This may sound strange in that I would be losing out on a large amount of potential money but the simple answer is this: I love music and guitar as well as teaching music and guitar. If we are in the middle of a great topic that you, the student, is really interested in, there is no way that I am simply going to stop talking about it when the "timer" stops and there is no way I am going to charge you more for getting into a topic you want to learn.
I find that students who spend more time in the lessons tend to become more interested in guitar and thus, better at playing. I do have to instill a minimum time limit of 45 mins however, any less is honestly just not enough time to get anything worth while accomplished.
One last thing, music and guitar have made up the majority of my daily routine for the past 10 or so years and have literally paid for everything that I currently own as I have never had any other type of job. What this means is that I take the craft very seriously and I project that in the lessons. Basically, if you are genuinely interested in learning guitar and music at any skill level, I will show you everything I possibly can to let you meet your goals. However, if you do not take it seriously, as in you don't pick up or even think about the guitar except for lesson days, the lessons may quickly feel pointless.

About Stephen
I am a singer songwriter guitarist with over 20 years experience. My first gig was in a blues ensemble with my first instructor at the age of 16. He went on to become a professor at the University of CIncinnat and eventually director of the music dept. where I also attended. It lit a fire in me to perform that has never dimmed. We performed at many high level blues and music festivals opening for legends of the blues and rock genre. the 1998 I joined an established touring band and hit the road for a couple years performing original music on the club and festival circuit. We officially released one album and countless live recordings exist. In 2003 I decided to focus on my own material and began performing a solo singer songwriter. Since then I have released 2 full length albums, 1-ep, and several singles. In 2011 I built a professiona
l studio where I teach and produce my own material as well as other artists. I have mentored several students that went on to successful music carreers. I have also owned two different live music venues over the last 20 years selling the last in 2017. I still provide live sound reinforcement gear and mixing services as well. I hold over 50 copywrites and my songs have been covered by several artists, licensed for television, and used in film in addition to being available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and most other streaming sources. Throughout my entire career I have taught and mentored other aspiring musicians. I truly enjoy teaching and seeing the excitement students of all skill levels have as they learn to play.

Blues Guitar Lesson Reviews from Students
Students are raving about their Blues Guitar instructors on TakeLessons. Check out some of these recent reviews.
Review by Ron M
"I chose to take up the guitar later in life (after retirement). I did not read music nor did I feel that I had any rhythm. William was extremely patient
with me and brought me to levels that far exceeded my expectations. William has a rare ability to be able to put a person at ease and reduce their tension level. Sometimes it was through playing and sometimes through playing. He was able to read my apprehension level very well and seemed to always choose the correct method. I moved away from the area and thus far have not found a guitar teacher with the same abilities. Regardless of age or ability, I would recommend William to anyone. Were it not so expensive I would gladly fly back to Phoenix once a week to continue my lessons with William."

ng up my playing position. This was really big for me as I have had issues that prevented me from playing as long as I would like due to back and hand pain.
William spent the time to figure out where I was and wanted to go. Im very pleased with the progress I'm making and am confident that taking lessons with William was a great choice. He has also been very giving of his time to help pick out instruments and gear to move my instruction along.
I see a lot of instructors here that are players trying to augment their gigging money by giving lessons. Williams education and background really show in his lesson presentation and effectiveness."
