The acoustic guitar should be mastered before electric is even considered. I am familiar with the many sonic possibilities of various types of acoustic guitars: nylon-string, steel-string, dobro, slide, twelve-string, seven-string . . . Many thanks!

Playing piano from the age of six, Tim has spent his whole life playing instruments and is currently studying Music Therapy at CSU. Tim believes that music lessons should be fun and rewarding! He will give you the tools you need to start playing guitar on your first lesson! There is no single way to learn an instrument as everyone thinks and learns in different ways. Tim approaches each student as unique and meets with them to reach their musical goals, no matter how small or large they might be. Music can be a complex subject, so Tim breaks it down into fun and understandable concepts to help his students understand music better. Music is fun, and playing an instrument should be as well!
