Private Acoustic Guitar tutoring lessons Dahinda, IL.

I am here to demystify the music world--with my teaching methods any student can accomplish their dreams! First, we will start with simple techniques to embark on your musical journey and work our way towards our lofty musical goals together.

Learning guitar requires a lot of patience and a good attitude. I focus on fundamental exercises to help any beginner guitar player reach an intermediate level. I cater my lessons to learn tunes that my students care about and love. I let them guide the work!

I'm a self taught guitarist of 15 years, specializing in acoustic guitar. I incorporate percussive and fingering techniques that I breakdown to each of my students. I've performed thousands of times throughout venues, bars, restaurants, etc. and have a great background on performing guitar and vocals.

Been teaching professionally for 15 years, currently active in the music industry-a very competitive and actualized scene.
Musicians Institute Alumni (MI) which is known as the best contemporary music school in the US.
Former Lead Guitarist of the most successful tribute band in history (Masters of Puppets).
Charismatic, nice and patient.

Acoustic guitar with its range of sound allows for various genres and style to be produced. My history with this instrument allows me to the be the perfect teacher by knowing the instrument front and back and understanding how to get the most brilliant sound from each style and genre.

The main focus of the private lessons is music theory and how it applies to the instrument. All the while trying to remain fun. Therefore, the musical style/genre that the student is seeking is irrelevant. At Dennis O Guitar Instruction the goal is for the student to have an understanding of the music that they seek to learn and become an independent musician.

Picture this....you get home after a long day of work or school, you feel a little stressed out by the world, wishing you had more time to get the endless list of things done and more energy to do them.....

Instead of turning on Netflix and zoning out, you pick up your guitar and play your favorite song.

Feels pretty great right?!

Learning to play an instrument is one of life's most rewarding endeavors, that just keeps getting better the longer you pursue it.

With playing an instrument, you will have something you love to do and look forward to doing every single day, enriching your life and those around you.
