Guitar

Hello there, I'm Austin Lowrance. I grew up loving to listen to music and received my first guitar in elementary school and began taking the instrument seriously around 12 years old. I've been performing live as a touring guitarist and pedal steel player for more than a decade now and have taken various college level music courses as well. In fact, I still take lessons from time to time from great players i've been fortunate to meet; Guitar is an instrument where there is always more to learn. I can help you learn anything from how to strum along to a country song, rock out your favorite AC/DC riffs, or even study the ins and outs of the brilliant technique of master players like Jimmy Page, Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Brad Paisley, or Brent Mason. I can also teach you music theory as it applies to the guitar; such as how to read music, build and name chords (and why they work), scales and arpeggios (and how to use them in your playing), as well as an understanding of rhythm and time (a shortcoming of many aspiring guitarists!). I've been teaching guitar lessons professionally since 2017 and am able to work with all ages and skill levels. I look forward to working with you!

I was the lead guitarist in the house band at The Stonegate in Tacoma, WA before I moved down to Austin.

Guitarist

Former guitarist in Texas Country artist Paul Nipper's band. Spent two solid years on the road not only throughout Texas but also around the country. I still take fill-in gigs with this band when I have time off from my regular road gig!

I play gigs and studio sessions with various artists all over Nashville, regionally, and all across the country!

Freelance Guitarist in Nashville, TN

Lead guitar for Texas Country artist Curtis Grimes. Curtis Grimes is an established artist who was a Top 10 finalist on the first season of the Voice and has gone on to score several number 1 hits on the Texas Country Music charts. We are on the road regularly playing all over Texas, all over the country, and sometimes out of it too! Come out and see us next time we play in town.

English

In our lessons, we can cover anything you'd like (your enjoyment of guitar is my top priority), ranging from basic technique all the way to advanced fretboard maneuvers. I can teach you anything from simple strum patterns, fun classic riffs by great bands like Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd, all the way to the technical mastery of great guitarists like Eddie Van Halen or Joe Satriani, or anything else you're interested in learning. I'm well versed in music theory and can give you insight on how and why ideas work and how they can easily apply to your playing (such as scales, arpeggios, etc.)

I don't have a personal studio to teach out of, currently, but I am available to travel around the greater Austin, TX area to give lessons at the student's location or give lessons online via Zoom or Skype. Looking forward to working with you!

A solo from a recent gig where I worked in some dimished licks into a solo section with an otherwise "major key" feel. Notice how I started the most of the dimished licks on either the sharp second (the song is in the key of A, so a sharp second would be the note A sharp), the major third (relative to our root in this progression, which is just A major over and over), or the flat 7th (again, relative to an A major chord); then notice how I subsequently resolved most of the dimished licks either back into a chord tone from an A major chord or a note that fits in a standard A major scale. This resolution lets you play a cool "out" sounding lick that will catch a listener's ear without the entire phrase sounding "wrong" to the listener. I'd be happy to show you some ideas like these in a lesson if you're interested!

Example of how to use dimished licks in an otherwise "major key" sounding solo

This is a "Chord-Melody Arrangement" of the Bright Eyes classic "You Will. You? Will...". Give the original a listen, and notice how I incorporated a bass note, the rhythm guitar part on the original recording, as well as the lead vocal melody in order to give my arrangement a "full" sound one instrument. This was accomplished by learning all three parts/learning what chords were being played in the original tune and how the vocal melody notes + rhythm related to them

Demonstration "Chord-Melody" Arrangemente With A Solo Guitar Arrangement of "You Will. You? Will..."

A demonstration of how to play the solo from Merle Haggard's version of the Bob Wills Western Swing classic "I Knew The Moment I Lost You", as played by Haggard's then current Clint Strong; an easy to find version of this recording is on Merle Haggard's "The Essential Hits Collection" album. If you'd like a pdf of a guitar tablature (tab) transcription of this solo, send me a message. This video posted here is on Youtube as well, which allows you to slow down videos (look for the tool icon) in order to hear faster parts easier if you're more of a "figure it out by ear" rather than read a tab kind of player. 

If you'd like to work on some of the ideas behind the phrasing and note choice in this solo and others like it, i'd be happy to have you join me for a lesson! Sign up on my page anytime.

Not really a lesson but a video of a guitar solo I recorded on a recent studio project. We can work on techniques like the ones heard here and more in lessons if you're interested!
