About Dennis O.

5.0

(10)

Dennis Guitar Instruction is a Denison, TX based proprietor founded in 1995. It all began as a 'favor' for a few friends by helping them learn the theory portion of playing guitar. Once word began to spread, Dennis Guitar Instruction was officially born. 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, all musical styles/genres are obtainable. My goal is for the student to have an understanding of the music which they seek to learn and become an independent musician. Since it's inception, I have helped thousands of players from around the world learn how to play.
