Private Bluegrass Guitar tutoring lessons Goodman, MO.

What makes my lessons unique is rather than follow a strict curriculum where I just teach the student a bunch of songs they don’t want to learn. I cater to the interests and needs of the student. So if you want to write songs we will practice creative exercises, if you want to learn covers to play in a band or solo act we will learn the songs you want to learn. I will teach at your skill level and go at whatever pace you feel comfortable with so that I can maximize your learning experience!

Are you a self-taught beginner or intermediate guitar player who is looking to take their skills to the next level? I'm a self-taught guitar player myself, and I've also taken a few lessons here and there and have learned the fundamental music theory needed to make guitar as enjoyable as possible (without forcing tabs or sheet music).

Half the battle is knowing what you need to learn, and the next step is finding solid guidance to help you apply your knowledge to the music you want to play.

I enjoy seeing people improve their skills and unlock their potential through understanding of the fundamentals of what is needed to play on your own, in a band, or just to be able to create your own music. Reach out to learn more and perhaps we can schedule a free lesson to see if this would be a fit!

Successfully teaching current students with clear, concise lessons.

All of my current students have developed confidence and enthusiasm to learn all materials presented in an easy to comprehend format.

Each student learns at different levels so all lessons are customized to challenge them but also insure they learn and retain all materials presented to them.

Currently have 16 students ranging from beginners to advanced level.
When selecting a teacher, make arrangements to meet in person to review short and long term goals of learning a musical instrument. Pricing should only be used as the last criteria before making a final decision. It's important to insure your instructor is patient and willing to challenge students to setup a practice routine that will fit their current schedule.

If a student needs an instrument, have instructor give recommendations based on the musical styles they are interested in learning.

Students often ask how long it will take to learn to play a Guitar.

My name is Quentin Pagtakhan, I've been playing guitar for 8 years overall, with 5 of those at a professional level. I play all genres from bluegrass to jazz to rock to metal to prog and everything in between. I always take time to ensure that my students are grasping the concepts shown and always teach to the student instead of any curriculum. I hope to hear from you!

I have taught guitar since 2012 and have been playing since 2000. I am happy to take students at the beginner and intermediate levels. I believe strongly in integrating music theory and ultimately moving students toward musical self-suffiency, rather than focusing exclusively on learning particular pieces. I have extensive training in the theory, practice, and genre conventions of bluegrass.
