Windsor Locks, CT Country Guitar Lessons

Modern Metal isn't everyone's thing. That's how I discovered Country Guitar. As a fan of greats like John-5 and Brad Paisley, there are a lot of talented people that can play great guitar in country style.

I do a lot of modern country. Like older Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, Scruggs and Flats, Luke Bryan and others upon request. Open chords are a big part of the genre as well as Major Pentatonic Scales.

Generally somewhat of a mix between blues and bluegrass guitar. Emphasis on improvising, hybrid picking styles, chord voicing, and strumming.

Considering the massive popularity of Country Music today, many people have their own definition of what country guitar is, so naturally the lessons will conform to what the student desires. Traditionally however, country guitar has a heavy focus on chord voicing and hybrid-picking style leads.

Lessons are taught by a Florida State University music graduate with over 17 years of experience. Florida State's Music School is ranked in the top 1% of music schools in the county. Both children and adults will be receive lessons tailored to each student's goals and music preferences. Learn chords, strumming patterns, and some of your favorite songs. You can even showcase your new skills to friends and family during our recitals.

Along the years of playing, on stage and with friends, I've come to the realization that learning guitar is a task that can be done alone, but that, is too much of
a lonely road. No one needs to endure the common pitfalls and inefficiencies of learning by your self. Having someone to guide you through the process and keep you focused is the best way to have your playing become an even more rewarding experience, whether you are trying to learn your favorite song, composition or solo, or whether you are trying to immerse yourself in the language of jazz, blues, rock, acoustic or classical, a guide is key.
My view is that a balance of independence and guidance works best when taking on the task of beginning an instrument or expanding your musical vocabulary. I'll be there as a reference, a facilitator and honest listener.

Music is a vast umbrella that covers many genres and styles. With our vast theoretical knowledge, you can rest assured that you will receive lessons specifically tailored to meet your musical goals. From Classical to Rock to Electronic Dance Music, we have you covered!

Witnessing the progression of a student's skills and knowledge is (by far) the most fulfilling aspect of our work. There is no better feedback than rocking to the product of your student's dedication under your teachings!
