Options for lesson times are 30, 45, or 60 minute lessons.
I start beginner students with some great introductory chords and songs and use these as a platform to develop technique. As you progress, we will get into more challenging songs, learn about music theory (scales, keys, improvisation) and will also learn about composing songs.

I've taken lessons with Dillon for 5 months, and he has helped me make tremendous progress. I was lucky to find Dillon because my music interests are all over the place. I wanted to learn about fingerstyle, soul, jazz, blues, Latin music, music theory, transcribing for bands. Dillon helped me with all of those. He's the kind of person whose has really studied the guitar and can distill the music from many styles into a few simple ideas for the guitar, and explain those ideas in a memorable way.
I'll continue taking lessons from him, and would recommend him as a teacher to anyone looking for a teacher with charisma.

About Benjamin E.
CloseI took classical guitar lessons for four years before pursuing it in college and I have years worth of classical guitar arrangements for a variety of skill levels. For any student eager to see the amazing music that a single guitarist can create classical guitar is a great place to start.
About Benjamin
Hello aspiring guitarists! My name is Ben. I am a musician hailing from Central Ohio seeking to share my knowledge of the guitar and music theory with anyone and everyone eager to learn. I have taught guitar lessons for the last five years and I have taken guitar lessons myself for the past 12 years. In 2012 I attended Capital University in Columbus, Ohio on a scholarship for classical guitar. Following my time at Capital I lived in Columbus writing music and playing guitar for several local groups while also teaching private guitar lessons. I currently gig as a guitarist and bass player in several Los Angeles based bands and I recently finished my first solo EP, which I recorded independently from my own home studio. My teaching style is very adaptive and fluid, focusing on the individual needs and goals of my students. From learning you
r favorite songs on the guitar to mastering your major and minor scales, together we will both strive to become the best guitarist we can be.

About Shai B.
CloseHey there!
My passions are technique and accuracy; by perfecting technique comes a deeper understanding of theory. I have lots of teaching methods that will encourage you to play your favorite songs and styles with the sounds you like.
I'll focus on the very basics of guitar theory in order to get to a higher level of understanding music theory.
I will challenge you! We will have lots of fun and you will see, hear, and feel your own improvements with my teachings.
About Shai
If you are fascinated about guitar technique and awesome weird sounds that you can do with your guitar, you will like having lessons with me.
I began as a classical guitar player, studying traditional classical pieces and applying them to my guitar. During that time I began to explore and became drawn to rock music, virtuoso guitarists, and heavy metal. My fascination with the electric guitar, the techniques, the speed and all the things that comes with it are still pulling me in.
Later on in life I fell in love with Flamenco, specifically Paco De Lucia.
I learned his songs and combined it with my own music while studying fusion and finger picking styles; every style I liked, I learned, I mastered, but I know, as much as I teach, I also learn.

About Eliot B.
CloseInterested in learning Spanish guitar? I will help you build a solid foundation of music theory and technique while tailoring to your personal tastes and goals. I specialize in Spanish guitar fingerpicking and strumming techniques. In my own career, I create melodies and chord progressions for major hip-hop artists including NBA Youngboy, Talib Kweli, and Aloe Blacc. Whether you would like to create your own melodies for personal enjoyment or learn how to have organic jam sessions with others, I will help you reach your goals as a musician. Looking forward to hearing from you!
About Eliot
I write guitar melodies for Hip-Hop and Pop musicians. My most notable song I played the guitar on has over 20 million views on Spotify. I have been performing for various events and concerts for over 10 years and have taught students ranging in ability from beginner to professional. My versatility, experience and formal training helps me to make the learning experience easy, stress free and fun.
Currently, I perform about once a month for paid gigs at UCLA through the department of World and cultures. I play in a group with a cellist, stand-up bassist, and spoken word artist. My largest audience was at freshman orientation (over 8,000 people). I have built relationships with Hip-Hop producers and write guitar melodies which ultimately get placed with well-known artists such as Talib Kweli, Aloe Blacc, and NBA Youngboy.
