Enjoyed the lesson. Greg is very interested in the "art" of teaching.

Our first visit - Greg was patient and explained things well. He really tried to read my 12 YO son as to what he was experiencing & feeling. He was also encouraging which was great!

My son (electric guitar) and I (bass) love learning from Greg. He's a very clear teacher who gets his students and can work form as well as theory. Super combination and we're both farther along than I think we expected to be when we started. Highly recommended.

I have done Zoom meetings and classes but this is first one that I had to learn tasks from someone not in the room. This worked well for me. Greg seemed like he was in the room with me. He was able to show me how to place my fingers and observe to see that I was doing alright.

Such a great teacher. Greg is a very gifted teacher. He’s able to break things down to help you understand the concept. Highly recommend him!!

as always, helpful and focused

Greg, You are an amazing teacher. You encourage, inspire, identify variety of techniques to teach and help learn. You listen to the students' need and work accordingly. It has been a great learning working with you. Wish you a wonderful new year 2021 !!

Greg is awesome! He is a fantastic player and a wonderful teacher!

We were excited to find Greg on here for our son’s ukulele lessons! He has been an extremely patient and encouraging teacher!

I've been taking lessons from Greg for several years and he's really an outstanding teacher. He not only explains things so you can understand them, he makes the lessons work for you. His experience enables him to customize your lessons to just what you need and want to learn. I've taken lessons in person and online and he brings the A-game to both types. Whatever I've wanted to learn he's been able to teach me.

Greg is an awesome musician but, as an instructor, (and yes, I've had a few over the years) his knowledge, patience and desire to see his students progress successfully ar attributes that I admire while learning and growing musically from him.

Greg continues to lead me to places unknown, like after I'd spent months working with modes and wondered what the next step was. Greg said i was ready for a looper but I didn't know what a looper was. Greg took time out from his busy day to demo how to operate it. Now I do know and the looper is an important part of
my practice routine. Thanks Greg.

Greg is great and very experienced in online tutoring

Greg has been great working with my daughter on guitar. She loves her lessons and has been picking it up quickly. Greg has been willing and able to work with her on her schedule and offers online lessons if needed or preferred.
Highly recommend Greg.

We really appreciated lessons with Greg! Our 7 year old has loved learning something new and Greg was a very patient teacher who made an effort to discover student interests and relate back to those interests through music.

Greg is great. Not only did I learn some skills and strategies to begin using right away, but he gave me confidence to believe that I will be able, with time and practice, play bass well.

Greg is an amazing instructor!! In just a few lessons, I've already learned a lot and I feel even more excited and confident about learning bass. He really takes time to understand my goals and interests, and incorporates them into his lessons.
I feel really fortunate to have found such a great teacher and would recommend him to anyone, at any level of experience.

Greg is an amazing instructor! If you are going to take lessons don’t hesitate to sign up for lessons with Greg! It has been so fun taking lessons with him! I really enjoy taking lessons with him because he makes my lessons fun and he takes time to answer my questions so that I understand everything that I need to know! Greg always makes me leave my lesson with a smile on my face! He teaches me so well and I have really come a long way because of him! I am always excited to come back to lessons! I really think that Greg is an amazing instructor because he will answer all of my questions and if I am stuck with something he will go out of his way to help me! I would definitely recommend taking lessons with Greg because he is very respectful, he is very understanding, and he is very nice! That is why I would recommend taking lessons with Greg!

Greg continues to be a great guitar teacher. He takes his time to help all in the group lessons to keep up and stay on track. He answers all questions promptly and shares important links to sites that can help us improve our skills.
Plus he is very friendly and considerate, and injects humor and war stories to demonstrate how to improve.

Greg is an amazing instructor! He is flexible and willing to help me reach my goals. He makes learning fun and I look forward to our sessions each week.

Greg is extremely knowledgeable and did a great job of structuring the lessons around my areas of interest!

Greg is an amazing teacher! I have progressed so much in the past few months, going from barely knowing a chord to now being able to play entire songs. He makes it fun while still teaching technique and challenging me. I would highly recommend🤘🤘🤘

Greg has the most patients in the world and my daughter looks forward to connecting with him every time.

Greg is a wonderful teacher. He is very thoughtful, considerate and kind. I hope to take classes with him again soon.

I don't' want to be redundant, but Greg is the best instructor of any stringed instrument he plays. He's patient, understanding and always goes above and beyond. He has a methodology that just works but is still unique to him.

Greg is terrific. He is very kind and patient, and takes time to answer questions and offer advice about techniques and ways to improve.
Greg is encouraging also — he makes us feel confident. I believe he will make me a competent guitar player fairly quickly. I intend to take private lessons from Greg when our group lessons conclude. I expect to study guitar with him for a long time to perfect my ability to play guitar just for my own enjoyment.

Excellent teacher. Keeps my 7yr old motivated to practice and teaches him lots of different skills to keep him interested.

Greg is a wonderful teacher. He is patient, kind and my daughter is excelling while learning to love music!

Greg is an awesome instructor! Incredibly personable with great analogies to connect what you want to learn.

Patient. Attentive. Good Humor. Talented.

Excellent instructor of multiple instruments. Regardless of your age or ability. Greg is passionate and able to help you reach your potential.

My 9 year old just completed his first lesson with Greg and it was great. He is very patient and understanding. My son is excited about his next lesson.

Greg has been really great with my son who is 9. He's very knowledgeable and still very personable and able to relate to my son. Greg has been able to figure out how he learns and applies that to how and what he teaches him.

Greg has taught me everything from the basics to playing songs and reading tabs and I still learn something new every lesson.

My experience has been amazing so far with Greg. Greg took the time to understand my goals and has created a customized plan to meet my needs. He is patient and has a great way of making the experience fun and rewarding.

A true professional that has toured the US, Greg is equally proficient on Bass & Guitar. He is able to quickly take any player from beginning to advanced, to the next level. You owe it to yourself to allow Greg to help you achieve your goals!

Greg teaches guitar and music theory in a way that is fun and easy to understand. Would highly recommend him!

greg is very patient and an amazing teacher. We are very happy to have him as our child's teacher.

Through the busy summer my daughter has missed a few of her guitar lessons, and she is always anxious to get back to them. This says a lot about Greg and his teaching style!

Wonderful teacher for our 6 yo - patient and kind

Greg is an excellent instructor..

Great instructor for an older student!!

Greg has been a great Ukelele instructor for our daughter Maysie. She is having fun and learning fast - playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star for us all recently and working on a few more songs too! I'd highly recommend Greg to other students considering him.

My daughter has made such a big progress. I am so impressed with the pieces she can play now. Greg is a wonderful teacher who presents the information very clearly and constantly uses positive reinforcement. He is a great teacher!

Great guitar lesson. Thank you Greg!

Great teacher! Feel like I've learned a lot over the past few months of lessons.

Very personable. Has a ton of knowledge and open to answer any to all questions.

I am taking my first ever guitar lessons as an older student. Greg has been customizing the lessons to fit my very basic skill set and lack of dexterity. He is the perfect instructor for an older student.

Greg is great. I have learned more in 4 or 5 lessons then a year of trying to learn using online courses. He figured out right where I am and seems to have just the right training to help me progress.

Greg did a great job on the first ukulele lesson with my daughter Vivian. Looking forward to the next one!

I love working with Greg!!! He simplifies the lesson, goes at my speed and is complimentary about my progress. I really enjoy my weekly lessons and plan to continue for a long time! Highly recommended!

Greg has a depth of experience that enables him to teach me anything I want to know about guitar, practical and theoretical. We'll often add something at the last second and he's always been able to make it happen, no matter the style, skill, or musical genre. And he's very encouraging.

Great teacher with a lot of knowledge and works well with people!

Greg is the BEST. He works with you where you’re at but gives you things you like to work on. For example: at the time I was really into some classic rock songs, so he took those and made fantastic lessons out of them, starting with fundamentals and on. He is the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had! 11/10 recommend!!

Greg has been great as a bass instructor for my son. We have done both in person classes and online. He has been very flexible with practice times. My son also love his practice time with Greg and always enjoys lessons. Greg also always has interesting music and presents music that my son enjoys.

Greg is a wonderful teacher with a lot of patience and uses a lot of positive reinforcement. He is great with kids. My daughter looks forward to her Ukulele classes every week.

First lesson went great for my daughter on the week of 7/13/2020. Greg was very patient and very organized. I hope that my daughter can play 2 or 3 guitar songs after 10 lessons. Thank you Greg!

Greg is absolutely fabulous!!

My Child looks forward to going to guitar lessons every week. She loves the style of teaching.

Give it a try, ya won’t be sorry.

Greg midges me into doing stuff I thought I was incapable of doing, such as baring chords. Fantastic instructor!

Both my son and I take lessons from Greg. My son does electric guitar and I do the bass. Greg is a very good instructor who connects with both of us and keeps us challenged and learning.

Greg is a great teacher to all my children. He is engaging in ukulele. He is very knowledgeable

Greg is fully engaging with my children. We have extended his lessons because of his teaching methods. He is a great teacher.

The best instructor around.

So it's been a month since I began lessons. I never took a guitar lesson in my life before I began studying under Greg and while there are subtle things you will learn from teachers just from watching them, Greg will teach you them through action to the point where you seemingly discover it on your own and then he gives you a look and you articulate this revelation and he explains how you came to that conclusion in a way that you can relate to. That is the highest level of teaching. He motivates you to do you best and puts the appropriate level of pressure for you to complete your goals. These goals are attainable, manageable and he's able to disseminate them in half hour sessions. I am 1000x the player I was from years of trying to figure out guitar on my own in 1 month and I can't wait to learn more from him. Greg is the real deal.

Greg is a great instructor. He is very patient with the children and delivers information very clearly. At the same time he is very encouraging which is the great motivation for the students. My daughter has been having classes with Greg for over a month now. She went from “oh I can’t” to playing “Riptide” and “Hey, there Delilah”. She might not play them perfectly yet, but the fact that she is willing to pick up uku by herself to practice any songs she wants every day shows that it’s not forced learning to satisfy parents, it is a hobby which my child enjoys.

Greg started out teaching guitar to 2 of my sons but we had so much fun with the ukulele that my sons switched over and I started taking lessons too. We had fun and learned a lot! Greg is knowledgeable, versatile on several instruments, and has lots of performance experience. He is always willing to work with you where you are and where you want to go and is willing to make changes as desired. He is personable and kind. He was patient and so understanding with my Asperger's son. Greg is great!

Greg is super laid back, patient and easy to work with. I enjoy my lessons and hope to progress.

My son has been taking lessons for a few weeks and loves it. Greg is personable, relatable and patient. We look forward to continuing the lessons.

Great first lesson. I felt comfortable right off the bat.

I just want to say thank you. You have been patient and understanding dealing with an older wanna be bassist. Our lessons and sessions have allowed me to relax and truly enjoy my bass guitars. You are an exceptional instructor and I cannot express my thanks for your patience. The smile generated when i sit and play along with my favorite music is ridiculously huge! Thanks, Greg! You allow me to chase a dream/goal without limits. Will give you props ALWAYS!

Excellent Instructor. Very patient.

Greg gives clear instructions. My daughter really likes his class.

How does one demystify guitar in half an hour to a complete beginner? It’s mind blowing. I can’t wait for my next lesson and I’m actually motivated to practice what I’ve learned! Greg is the best.

Really enjoyed working with Greg. He gets right down to it and the time flew by. Looking forward to my next lesson.

Greg was very pleasant and patient. He made my daughter very comfortable even though the class was online and it was her first time learning an instrument.

Really helped me learn how to play the guitar the last couple of months

Good all around dude and a heck of a bass player.

Great instructor and fun to learn. Definitely recommend

Greg is a fantastic teacher. He is extrelmy knowledgable at what he does and I reccomend him to anyone who either wants to start playing or has been playing for years.

I've been playing bass for a few years and Greg helped me mold my techniques and styles. The skills I've acquired from his lessons have given me the ability to increase my skills as a musician in a way that wouldn't have been possible otherwise. I highly recommend!!

Greg is a consummate professional musician who will pass along his expertise to any bass or guitar student.
Greg is also very kind person who relates well to people.

Greg is a magnificent bass player - not only from a skill perspective but also as a teacher. He has a comprehensive understanding of music foundation and applies that knowledge and understanding to every level of player. Greg’s expertise with his easy disposition, patience, and sense of humor, all combine to make for a really fun and beneficial learning experience. Highly recommend.

Greg is a great guy and an expert at many styles of music and instruments. Great with kids.

Known Greg for years & played in a few bands with him. Extremely knowledgeable and proficient with all things about music. Highly recommend!

Greg is really a teacher of teachers. He does a splendid job!

The girls love guitar lessons with Greg. He creates a fun learning experience that fits each child’s personality.

Greg is a phenomenal teacher with an extensive knowledge in his field that could rival Master Yoda. He knows how to figure out how you learn the best, exposes it and then expands on ot brilliantly. I'm very grateful that I reached out to him for his teachings.

Gregory is the best guitar teacher out there. He customizes your experience to what you like and it is very good.

Having played with Greg in the past, I can tell you he is extremely knowledgeable and proficient with the bass guitar. If you are looking for an instructor who is skilled with and passionate about bass guitar, look no further than Greg C.

Greg is one of those rare individuals who teaches others what he loves to do; he’s skilled and unpretentious. He makes you feel okay that you’re just trying to learn and welcomes your questions with an openness that is truly refreshing.

Greg is a great teacher- listening- understanding - keeping it real - and intent on helping you set and reach your goals as a player. Pulling from life and from the stage helps makes for a well rounded instructor.

Greg is friendly and fun and just a great person to be around, not even to mention how extremely talented and versatile his musical talents are. I can imagine taking any type of lessons from him would be a blast: zero pressure, filled with lots of laughter and sure to be full of lots of knowledge and learning.

Greg lessons where very individualized and personal. He used music the student was interested and involved with. Also worked very successfully in helping student purchases and understand the bass guitar. Greg’s way of stretching the students skills by preforming with him and demonstrating advanced techniques builds desire and appreciation for learning. Appreciate Greg’s talents and desire to share his knowledge with His students

Mr. Campbell is an awesome teacher, he was really good at making each lesson personal to what I need. Over the years he has taught me ukelele, guitar, and vocals. Such an awesome teacher!!

Great teacher!!! Very knowledgeable and kind.

Greg has been great to work with. Very patient and creative in his teaching. My son looks forward to seeing Greg each week. He has grown and leaned a lot in working with Greg.

Greg was a joy to work with. He made it easy to improve and understands how to meet you at your level, which for me was quite low. He can be an intuitive instructor when needed, meaning he has a plan but isn’t captive to it when he sees the need for improvisation.

Greg is a really inspiring instructor who helped me get started with the electric guitar! He helped me pick songs that worked with my Gibson-type guitar, which is a Daisy Rock that I love. I bought it when Greg had his downtown Helena storefront. Take lessons from this guy, he's worth it!

Was a great time!!! Was able to learn songs that I was interested to learn how to play and was really helpful to learn to shred. Wish I had more time to continue going to lessons but life happens haha would 10 outa 10 go back tho to shred again. Best instructor I've personally ever had!!!

Greg is an exceptional teacher of all ages. He has an infectious enthusiasm for teaching aspiring musicians from beginner to accomplished.

Greg is an amazing instructor and is helping me master a song for a pageant I have to do. He is patient and works well with all levels of learners, whether it be an amateur, picking up a guitar for the first time, or a pro wanting to learn a few new tricks. He is an amazing teacher and I definitely recommend him.

I really like Greg because he is always teaching me new things, but it’s also really fun. I came in with a desire to learn more things about the ukulele and I did. I even started guitar recently and I have enjoyed it so much. He understand what I am struggling with and helps me fix what I am doing wrong.

Greg's background and knowledge make him a good instructor but what I admired was that he always made sure that no one ever felt left behind.

He teach me amazing things I never thought I could learn on the ukulele. As well as made it fun and interesting to learn we had a great connection that we could always laugh about them very thankful for the time I got to spend with him I highly recommend him to anyone wanting to learn.

It’s obvious that Greg enjoys the guitar and teaching others how to play. He understands your level of experience and teaches at your speed.

Greg shares his knowledge and enthusiasm in a well prepared teaching session. He is always willing to help beginners and experienced students.

Greg was the best teacher. He was very patient and able to teach all different levels. I really hope he offers another class in the fall!

I attended a community beginner guitar class taught by Greg. We were all at slightly different levels and Greg easily accommodated us all with patience, knowledge and humor. His experience is wide on several instruments.
I would definitely recommend him for lessons.

Greg is the man! My son loves to take lessons from Greg. He has a great curriculum for young kids and is so patient and fun! I also had a great experience with Greg as a seasoned musician brushing up on theory and scales. 10 out of 10,would recommend!

Greg is very helpful and encouraging. He was patient while I struggled through an explanation of what I wanted to learn. He encourages me to keep practicing and remarks on my improvement over time.

Greg is really great! Passionate about music, patient about lettingbyou prohress at your own pace, and loves to see you improve.

I wouldn't have ever had the fundamental understanding of what it means to play music had I never taken lessons from you, Greg. I only took a summer or two of lessons from you, but you are instrumental (pun aside 😅) in how I view structure and approach learning new techniques.

Greg was a wonderful and patient teacher with my son who started at Gregs' business Capital Fret at 11 years of age & continued for a few years ,my son learned his love and knowledge of guitar ,both bass a acoustic, and drums through Greg's teachings, Greg recognized my sons' strengths and creativity with guitar and helped direct him in many ways towards my sons'continuing love of music and drums I don't believe my son would have thrived as well with another teacher

There is no doubt this teacher knows the guitar inside and out. Nice balance to class- theory and playing. Fun and challenging. He delivered class work and homework in very doable measures. He made himself available for one free half-hour one-on-one class with each student with the individual needs of each student the targeted goal. I would take another guitar class with this instructor if it were offered.

Greg helped me tremendously and made learning fun! I am an older student an he got me to play through my mistakes and start putting it together.

I took lessons from Greg about 10 years ago. He was very knowledgeable and helped me progress as a player. He is a master at the guitar as well as the bass. He made learning fun!!

Very skilled in theory and makes learning fun. Funny guy as well! Keeps the lessons interesting.

I learned a lot and had lots of fun!

Greg is a very good teacher. He made the lessons fun and easy

The Master! Greg is not only an excellent instructor, he’s completely approachable. What started of as a group lesson for my high school aged sons has turned into a highly customized online experience where they learn at their own pace. Greg has tremendous knowledge of guitar but more importantly understand the step-by-step methodology necessary to instruct. It’s building blocks and he manages to make that completely fun.
It’s been great to reconnect with you Greg. Thanks for all that you do and for the passion you bring to each lesson and each of my boys!

Greg is a wealth of musical knowledge and a stand up guy. He is great at connecting with the kids and makes learning an instrument fun and understandable. Our son looks forward to his lessons with Greg and always comes home excited about what he learned that day!

Greg is very encouraging giving lessons, it will motivate you to continue and improve

Greg is a fantastic teacher! He meets his students at their level and is positive, enthusiastic and flexible to each student's needs. He taught both of my sons, who are very different personalities, and they still love to use the talents he brought out of them. I highly recommend Greg's lessons.

Greg was such a great teacher to our daughter. She was just learning the basics and he was so patient with her. She had a lot of fun and really enjoyed him as a teacher!

Greg makes the lessons easy to understand, yet challenges me. I like the music he picks for me and he lets me bring in my own.

My grandkids took guitar lessons from Greg. They totally enjoyed the experience! Greg is a great teacher!!

Greg's lessons are great. He is a nice teacher. He lets you choose the music you want to learn, which makes it more fun.

Both my daughter and my son have been taking guitar and bass lessons from Greg for the last few months. My kids have blossomed and Greg has a way of connecting with both of them. We are so thankful for Greg’s gift of teaching guitar and bass!

Great class, excellent teacher and a good experience!

Greg was my daughters teacher...he was so encouraging and used the music she loved to teach her.

I have been taking lessons with Greg for a while now and ti has be very enjoyable. I think my favorite lesson was learning how to play hotel California. I would recommend him to everybody that wants to take guitar lessons. Thank you greg

Greg was a sweet teacher for our Jim who taught him how to play songs he could play and songs he genuinely loved already, so he worked a little harder at practicing. And. he clearly loved teaching, and loved Jim. Recommended

Greg is the best instructor because he has confidence in you and always gives you the respect you need.

Greg is very encouraging, teaches with patience. Goes the extra mile. Awesome teacher !!

It was really fun and I learned a lot.

Greg is easily the best in private instruction for guitar and more. He taught me great alternative methods for someone starting off with little musical experience, and gave me the tools to transition into full on sheet reading abilities. I would highly recommend taking lessons from Greg to anyone looking to start playing, refine their current skills, or even try a new instrument all together!

Guitar lessons with Greg Campbell are great! My grandson learned alot and very much enjoyed learning with Greg I would highly recommend him!

Great first lesson! Looking forward to more!

Great instructor and I look forward to future lessons. He is patient and has a great sense of humor!

Greg is great. He teaches and explains things well even when he can't be there in person. He wants you to succeed just as much or more then you want to. He is an amazing teacher!

Yes we did it. Greg was very patient a d helpfull on setting up. Peter is happy.

Greg is the best. He is very patient and makes guitar fun.

Greg is a awesome guitar player and a great teacher.
I only took lessons for a month because I really didn’t have the time because of work and other chores I needed to give attention to but Greg was really friendly and patient and if I had the time to really focus on guitar, with the help from Greg, I’d probably be awesome by now.🤙🏽
If you’re thinking about or wanting to learn how to play, I’d highly recommend Greg.
Thank you Braddah Greg and ROCK ON 🎸

Really great instruction. I am just getting started with guitar and in the short weeks that he has taught me I have done what I thought would be very hard and he has made it easy.

Greg provided me a lot of great suggestions abs exercises to sharpen my skills.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Greg. From the beginner guitar player to experienced shredding virtuosos. Greg caters to each individual's needs and wants. As he says he is truly passionate about you and that innate ability of him carries over into his instructing.
As every great teacher I have ever known, he has a balanced approach to his delivery. He wants you to have fun, but he also helps you realize; to be good at playing any instrument... it also takes work and practice. However it's "applied" practice w/ tools to get you where you want to go faster than most other instructors!
Go see GBC today!!

I haven't taken lessons from Greg, but as a former professional bandmate of his (drummer) I have firsthand knowledge of his stellar musicianship and relaxed disposition. I have no doubt he's an outstanding teacher and highly recommend giving him a try! You won't regret it.

Greg was a great teacher both myself and my son have taken classes from him. He pushed me when needed to try some new things while still encouraging and making it fun.

Greg is great! He teaches guitar in a way that lets you get playing immediately! It makes learning fun to be able to play popular songs right away!

Amazing instructor. Highly recommend.

Great instructor! Teaches a student based on desired outcome and individual skill. Patient, understanding, and adaptable! Has awesome skills as a musician!

Very patient and encouraging. Simplifies lessons in a way I can understand easily.

Great instructor. Great lesson. Paid attention to detail.
I have had so much fun with Greg Campbell I have learned so much from him and I can’t wait to learn more

GBC is a phenomenal teacher - knowledgeable, patient and understanding and tremendously talented. I highly recommend him for bass and extended range bass guitar!

Anyone who gets an opportunity to learn how to play music from this guy should jump all over it. This dude is a well-rounded musician full of so much knowledge towards any aspect of a stringed instrument. I still to this day remember so much from his lessons and feel very thankful to have learned so much from such a wonderful teacher. Greg has enough patience to work with beginners and enough experience and skill to make an expert out of ya!

Greg knows how to connect with his students to teach in the best way. Very well spoken and explains everything in great detail. I started off with Greg and I was playing full songs in a matter of months.

The social benefits to my child with special needs have been exponential by way of taking guitar lessons with Greg Campbell! She has really come out of her shell due to the confidence she has gained since she began working with Greg!

Greg is a great person, an amazing musician and patient instructor. Not to mention the funkiest bass player in Montana. Five Stars.

What I like about lessons with Greg:
1. He has a great personality and is very enthusiastic and understanding, which makes any struggles during lessons less painful.
2. He tailors your lessons to what *you* are interested in. (While teaching the fundamentals you will need to make your goals happen)
3. He is always thinking of new ways to revolutionize lessons and peoples' perspectives on music.
I really enjoyed my lessons with Greg and you will, too!

Whether you are someone that is looking for a music instructor for your child or yourself, Greg Campbell is a great choice! I've known Greg for 22 years and I can say that he is a great guy that only wants the best for the people around him. Not only is he a wonderful musician himself but a great role model for an aspiring musician. He is motivated and dedicates his professional life to promoting musicianship in a positive and fun environment.

My granddaughter took lessons from Greg. I was impressed by his ability to teach on an individual level. He was encouraging and patient.

Greg is the teacher of teachers! What I mean by that is because of Greg, I now also teach guitar. And I know of several of my friends who are now guitar teachers by trade as well. All of us do it and do it well BECAUSE Greg Campbell not only taught us how to play guitar, but he taught us how to teach guitar! Greg’s teaching style has such depth that I was able to reach my goals as a musician. And now I also make a living because of what Greg imparted to me. I do not know one guitar teacher in Montana who hasn’t been impacted by Greg’s direct instruction and or influence. So, as I said Greg is the teacher of teachers!

Going back over a decade, I bought my first real guitar from Greg, an 80s Avila Rhoads. Over the years that followed, Greg taught me quite a bit in the ways of repair/maintainence as well as theory/sound scultping. The man is truly an inspiration. From the day his old shop opened, to now, Greg has always been a great teacher.

Greg helped me onto the path of speaking the language of music and why it matters. Music theory is not daunting if someone can show you how to apply it correctly. Greg has decades of experience and application. Let him help you!

Known Greg for many years and have attended multiple clinics of his .
He is a fine teacher that is able to make things click in your head as he's teaching.
Great experience ..

Greg Campbell has been a mentor to me for so many years. He has encouraged me and has helped me grow in my musical abilities and has helped shaped me into the person I am today. I have seen him show many of students learn new instruments. I have personally benefited through his teaching of how to lead teams and how to play guitar. He is patient and communicates so well and I have grown a lot from his teaching.

>great instructor communication, patience, and personality
>emphasis on rythym and pacing
> wide variety of tastes to get started with
> excellent learning environment

Greg is great with my son and has a fantastic curriculum for beginners!

Greg is a knowledgeable and seasoned musician who does his best to teach and inspire other individuals. Money and time well spent!

Greg knows his instruments inside out. He has explored every genre from countless musical perspectives and brings this to his teaching.
He is patient and encouraging. He affords his students more than just how-to's - he asks of them to truly connect with the instrument they want to learn. He is well-worth your investment as he will truly invest in you.

My daughter loves her summer guitar lessons. Hands down the best experience!!

I’ve known Greg since I first entered the guitar world, and from the beginning he has been an amazing person to learn from along the way.

Great teacher who really cares about the student’s success!!

My grandchildren are taking guitar and ukelele lessons from Greg and are really enjoying them! I recommend Greg's lessons.

Greg is a true craftsman and consummate performer. I can’t think of a better Bass Player I’ve had the pleasure to work with.

Greg is a great teacher and a very awesome role model for my Grandson so grateful to have found him

Taking lessons with Greg was awesome! He answers all the questions you have and helps you learn guitar at your own pace.

I’m a drummer, and my experience with Greg is playing worship together.
He’s one of the best bassists I’ve ever played with.
He’s got a fantastic ear and great musical knowledge.
I would definitely recommend taking lessons from him if you’re looking to pick up a new instrument or are wanting to improve on what you already know.

Greg is the funkiest teacher I have ever had the pleasure to be taught and mentored by. Definitely NOT a waste of my family’s time or money.

Since I was in high school, I’ve always wanted to develop my skills as a piano player, drummer, or guitarist. I had a ways to go, and Greg was assigned to help me grow in our youth worship team. Out of the years I spent there, Greg was the best teacher I had! Hands on training, coherent instructions, and constructive feedback from our sessions were what made me into the musician I am today. Greg Campbell is the best!

Greg is a master of music theory and knows about all the practical applications of guitar and bass. He is just a plain good guy too!

I have known Gregory Bruce Campbell for over 25 years now. I have watched his progression from his early days as a glam rock, bass playing punk from Glendive MT, to the extraordinary, virtuoso musician he is today. I have literally traveled the world, seen and played with hundreds of bands, met hundreds of musicians, and can count on 1 hand, how many of those musicians were put on earth to play music. Greg is one of those musicians. Greg is the thumb. The anchor without which the hand would be useless. The other musicians on that hand have an ego to boot. Not the case with Greg. He is the kindest and most humble person I know. I'm proud to call him my friend.

Working with Greg has been nothing, but amazing. He is laid back and works with you at the pace that you need to learn. I’d highly recommend anyone who wants to improve with their bass or guitar skills.

I have known Greg for over 25+ years. He can play any style and at the highest levels. He has never disppapointed us by either in his performance or teaching. He is the best and highly recommend.

When it comes to musical knowledge, Greg has few peers. He is a wealth of experience, fantastic teacher, and valuable mentor. Greg helped me progress as an amateur musician and taught me foundational skills that would help me learn even more on my own over time. He is patient, kind, and a fun person to learn from.

Learned a lot from Greg! Helped me understand my bass better and how to use it. Worked with me where I was at and challenged me to get better. Gave me tools that I still use years later.

Greg has incredible music knowledge. Not only will he instruct you the “how” to play guitar, he will also give you the “why” and “what” of guitar and music. I recommend building any musical house on Greg’s instructional foundation. You won’t just become a guitar player but you will also be a musician.

Greg is a very talented teacher, who is always patient and is able to explain music theory and music components in ways that are easily understood. I really truly enjoy learning from Him. He’s very knowledgeable, and clearly works hard at his lessons.

Greg is an excellent guitar teacher and I would recommend him....and have recommended him to many looking to take guitar lessons.

Greg is an amazing teacher! His understanding of the bass and musical theory really helped me progress in my playing. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to be a better musician.

Greg is an experienced teacher of electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass guitar. He is a master of his craft and great working with students of all ages.

I love the passion behind his teaching. I felt he really took in to consideration the style and music that I wanted to learn/play. He also challenged me by picking songs that had different skill levels that I would not have learned if trying to teach myself how to play. He has an incredible background in music (of all genres) and teaching. I highly recommend him for anyone no matter their skill level.

Greg shares his expertise freely and made the concepts easy to understand. He is an extraordinary musician and comical educator. His presentation was compelling and I couldn’t wait to return for more lessons! Now I can tackle the songwriting process with confidence!

Greg is an excellent musician. I have performed with him many times. I've known Greg for over 12 years. He worked on my guitars, and his work was exemplary!
He is a person of great character.

My daughter started guitar lessons with Greg in January of this year. She has learned so much already! Greg makes the lessons fun by allowing the kids to practice current songs they are interested in. Greg is very passionate about teaching and music which makes it exciting for the kids.

Greg taught both of my kids acoustic and electric guitar. His patience, creativity, and infectious talent kept both of them interested and engaged in learning the instruments while having fun. I highly recommend Greg to anyone considering lessons, he's the best!

Greg works very well with both beginners and experienced players to help them become the musician they strive to be

I haven't had lessons in a long time. But I wanted to get back into them as I feel like I missed alot on my musical journey as a guitar player. Greg knew right away where to start to get me going on the right path. He explains things in a way that's easy to understand and I have alot of fun learning from him.

Greg taught my son Daniel. Daniel came a long way during his lessons with Greg. Good teacher.

Greg is a very knowledgeable musician who teaches important fundamentals in a fun and unique way. I highly recommend his services!

Greg is an excellent choice for students young or old! He is patient, caring, and knowledgeable, with a heart that nurtures aspiring musicians. His expertise with and about guitars (and a variety of other instruments!) is unparalleled in the Helena area. I would highly recommend him as a music instructor for anyone wanting to learn or master the guitar.

I’ve been taking lessons from Greg on and off for about 7 years and I feel blessed to have had that time with him. He teaches from the heart and truly wants his students to succeed. What Greg does that means the most to me is that he actually believes in me and convinced me of my potential. Greg has been a big part in my life and has been a huge support in helping me with my music career. I’d rate him more than 5 stars if I could!

Greg is a fantastic instructor! He takes the time to listen to the student, and is ready to guild the instruction in ways that will be useful to the learner. I have taken lessons with Greg in person as well as online. Greg is capable of teaching anything from learning songs to intense music theory. Give the online sessions a try, you won't be disappointed!

I would recommend Greg, hands down, over any other teacher I've learned music with. He has an amazing way of simplifying it for people just learning, and plenty of knowledge for experianced players. Someday I hope I can take my children to him so that they learn the love of music like I did! Thank you for your kind teachings.

Greg is an awesome teacher! Patient, outgoing, happy, and genuinely interested in the success of his students. Would go back!

A good experience to get me going on how to play guitar and how to read tabs! Greg's always ready to turn it up and rock out

When I started taking lessons with Greg I didn’t know a thing about playing an instrument now a few years later I can play classic rock, Christian, Contemporary, and bluegrass. I also feel much more confident in my ability to play in front of people and with others.

Greg had ne understanding more advanced techniques like sweep picking and tapping, he also introduced me to new musicians work that I would've likely missed, and these artists gave me further inspiration.

Greg is an incredible guitar player, and he made learning fun for me. I took lessons when I was in high school, and he has a fantastic balance of talent and knowledge. He was able to use the music I enjoyed to incorporate theory and rudiments. Thanks for your help Greg!

Greg is great at perceiving the needs of his students and adapting to provide a guitar lesson plan for their individual’s needs.

I took lessons from Greg for guitar some years ago and his methods really helped me understand music with the way he taught chord theory and such. It applied to literally every instrument I learned afterwards.
Greg also has a plenty of patience for his students and is really good at encouraging growth and understanding in his students. Sometimes I would come in with a song I wanted to learn that was way more advanced than I was at the time, but rather than say I couldn't play it or to wait until later, he would take that difficult song and help break it down into what I did know and we'd go from there and as I result I felt I learned quickly, as well as understood how to break down songs into their more basic elements which would become later on for when I wrote my own music or lead in bands.
All in all a great experience and I feel like I owe a lot of my musical ability to the lessons I took with Greg.

Very knowledgeable and patient. Fun to work with and a super nice guy! Stayed with him leaning multiple instruments I highly recommend him.

Knowledgeable, friendly, and patient. Would recommend highly to anyone.

Had greg teaching me guitar in high school, one of the best teachers in Montana!

I was looking for someone to teach me how to play lead guitar. Greg provided needed educational aids to help. He helped me get an insight in what it could be and what I needed to do to get there. Unfortuanately, (or fortunately), my daughter was doing a guitar camp of Greg's and decided she wanted to learn more so I gave her the lessons. She has been taking lessons with Greg for quite a few years now and has accomplished more than I. She is better than I am now. A dad could not ask for more.

I took lessons from Greg, as did my daughter. Both of us had very positive experiences. Greg is a talented player and teacher. The thing that impressed me most was how he connected with my daughter, an early elementary student at the time, and extremely shy. There weren’t many people outside her family she connected with easily, but she likes him so much that she asked him to accompany her on guitar when she sang for her school talent show — which he graciously did on his own time. Thanks, Greg!

Had Greg Campbell has a bass teacher a few years back. A very knowledgeable, fun and cool teacher! Definitely would take lessons from him again in the future!

I loved having Greg as a teacher! He took extra time on things I stuggled with and constantly encouraged me. The best part was that he let me pick the learning content so it was always personal to me.

Greg is an amazing teacher! With years of playing experience he has the knowledge to teach anyone. He is patient and understanding which is great for all types of learners. I give him 5 stars because Greg is hands down always over the top!

Greg was an incredible guitar teacher for me, he consistently worked with me to make lessons that I would want to learn, and helped me find my own path in music. Often times teachers have a set curriculum and idea of how someone should progress through their learning, and I'm sure Greg did too but I was probably not the best student for that. I was so focused on wanting to be a song writer and also maybe not the most practiced student, but he'd work with me and come up with these lesson plans that revolved around learning new chords and progressions and then when we'd get to a point where I had a basic understanding of some of it we'd try writing a song with these new learned chords. It was very helpful and even if I wasn't making leaps and bounds of progress every week Greg helped me feel like I was. I can't thank him enough for the experience. I would recommend him to anybody that asked and if I still lived in Helena I'd definitely still go to Greg for lessons.
I was blown away by Greg’s extensive and thorough knowledge of music theory and technic. He makes it all seem so easy and the way he teaches it makes it easy to understand. I would highly recommend Greg as a guitar and bass teacher any day.

Very patient and kind to my son (age 10). Excellent teacher. My son was excited to learn so much so quickly! Highly recommend him to both kids and adults!

Greg is a very gifted musician and easily translates his talents to teaching his students. I appreciated his willingness to cater to my needs as an adult student with very little musical instruction/training. I highly recommend Greg for developing your new musical talents.

Greg really helped me get started with my love of the electric guitar. He introduced me to a lot of tools and ideas to help me continue on in my crazy busy life. Definitely recommend him for a student at any level.

Greg is a fantastic music teacher. He taught my teenage Son guitar lessons. They picked music Drew was interested in across a variety of types. Great experience!

Greg was and is one of the most talented guitar and bass players I’ve met. He’s able to explain and show easy ways to grasp the techniques to make a better player. I enjoyed the time during the lessons.

Hands down a great teacher. Very experienced, and knowledgable about anything you might want to learn. Great with all ages. He always finds a way to make lessons fun so you want to come to the next one every time.

Greg sold me my first acoustic guitar at 13 years old. It was a fender acoustic and I bought it with no knowledge and he pushed me towards an acoustic guitar he felt was quality and a great starter guitar. I taught myself for a couple of years and than my parents let me get guitar lessons When I was 16. I was really into heavy metal music, yet Greg made sure I knew the basics. His lessons were very individualized and made sure that when I was learning the basics that I knew what I was working towards. I remember one lesson he gave me a riff to work with, after I had it down he revealed to me that it was Miley's party in the USA. He showed me a song I wasn't interested in learning and taught me how I can make it into a genre that appealed to me. I told Greg that I was really interested In guitar upkeep and he taught me how he cleans guitars and does adjustments in his shop. Greg Campbell takes the time with his students and makes sure he his teaching them in what they are interested in, yet at the same time makes sure the basics are hammered home and are appreciated.

My kids (11 & 9) love taking guitar from Greg. He encourages them to bring in music they like and customizes the lessons to each child. He maintains high expectations in a very encouraging way. I highly recommend Greg!

Greg is a very encouraging teacher. He is also the only teacher that I would like to have. Greg's teaching style is exactly what I needed. Please talk to him to see if he is right for you.

Greg was a fantastic teacher! He is very knowledgable and has a wonderful teaching style. His teaching style made learning the guitar easy to comprehend and fun. I truly recommend Greg for a beginner or someone who has played a lot. Greg truly is great!

Greg has been so good with my 6 year old. Very patient, never pushing too hard and always changing things up to keep my son’s interest along with working on songs that my son is interested in. The techniques he has been learning are amazing.

Greg has helped my 9 year old daughter take her curiosity for guitar to a place where she can play along with some of her favorite songs. He is patient and encouraging, and he has provided her with the tools to keep moving forward and exploring music through her guitar. Thank you Greg!

Greg is very gifted and knowledgeable in many instruments. He has been given an amazing gift from God and uses it for His glory. He can listen to some music and know exactly how to help you play it.

Instructor was very patient and informative. I learned about rythm, timing and all kinds of good stuff. Excellent instructor.

Greg is very dynamic and a really fun teacher. He understands how to read our son’s musical ability and gear the lesson to him. He instructs and plays music with our son during lessons in a manner that seems very effective, and our son comes home after his lesson wanting to play more and wanting to practice to be able to play cool stuff with Greg in the next lesson. Our son definitely feels challenged every lesson. We feel very fortunate to have found Greg and look forward years of lessons to come, as playing music with Greg is one of our sons favorite things.

Greg has been an incredible teacher and mentor to me over the years. He’s pushed me to get out of my comfort zone and be successful in every musical area I chose to pursue. Greg made valuable acoustic guitar and vocal lessons enjoyable and rewarding. I’ve seen him build up teams of inexperienced people to become well rounded and proficient musicians. Top instructor recommendation for pursing a musical passion.
You can use it wherever needed. Let me know if you need anything else or any adjustments.

Greg is a top-notch instructor. He is experienced in and can instruct in several instruments. He has great performance experience and he is knowledgeable in theory to competently teach to an advanced level. He is also kind, personable, and works great with children, adults, and even family groups! Our family thoroughly enjoyed taking guitar and ukulele lessons from Greg. We would still be doing so if we hadn't moved. Thanks Greg!

I took guitar classes from Greg for about 8 years, bass lessons for about a year, and drum lessons for about a year, and eventually worked with him as an instructor as well; I'll let you know that you will be very hard-pressed to find a better teacher than Greg - he takes the time to really delve deep into all your lessons and give you the best experience, as well as wonderful material to work with, in order to help you fully reach your potential as a musician. On top of that, he really gets to know you and caters to your style of learning, and helps you recognize your strengths and weaknesses, overall making your learning experience the most fruitful it can be. Besides, he makes the learning fun! I highly recommend and respect Greg as a musician and an instructor.

Greg has a wonderful giving way about him...Combine this with amazing musical knowledge and innovative teaching techniques...I couldn't imagine taking lessons from anyone else...

Greg is awesome! He teaches you the basics and will teach you the songs you WANT to learn! It was an awesome experience to learn for him!

Greg met my expectations on what I wanted to learn. Based on what I already knew he taught me how to play lead guitar from the ground up. He taught me step by step on how to play the instrument successfully.

Greg has been working with two of our kids as they learn guitar. They went from not knowing how to play, to playing in front of groups leading worship in our church groups in a few months. I appreciate Greg's work and direction for them. He has been awesome to work with.

I took guitar lessons from Greg for a year. I had a GREAT experience and HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who wants to learn to play.

My sons think Greg is the best guitar teacher ever!

Greg is very patient. He has a way with kids that makes learning fun and easy

I studied guitar lessons under Mr. Greg for a period of time before I had shoulder surgery. The lessons were very beneficial for me and he is a great instructor. He went out of his way to help me learn guitar with my dyslexia. He is very patient, understanding, and a great instructor. I would recommendhis gifted guitar lessons to anyone and I plan on returning for more lessons.
Thank you,
Bonnie Robinson

My son LOVED every second of his learning with Mr. Campbell! He couldn't wait to get there, and he couldn't wait to practice every day for hours until his next lesson. He learned so much and has come so far! I'm so appreciative of the jamming they did together and the way Mr. Campbell treated my son and our family with friendly respect. He is wonderful with kids and marvelous with music.

Greg is the kind of teacher that has the skill & ability to set you up with a strong musical foundation to carry the weight of becoming whatever you desire in music.
He does this with a good balance of understanding that not all players want to be the same 80's rock god he trained to be. He knows how to talk/instruct to someone from any age or musical background without being condescending or pretending that he knows better than you as to what sound you want to be able to make.
He's very diverse! This is perhaps, personally, my favorite thing about Greg.
Music is about so much more than technique & theory, it's about style & artistry. This is an understanding & guidance that YouTube could never give me like Greg did.
Though he was the guy who helped me pick out my 1st guitar, he also helped me fill in the other areas in my musicality by instructing me in some bass & drums. This has been invaluable as a worship leader to communicate to all parts of the band. (Seriously, if you pay for lessons, pay a REAL musician like Greg, who can see the gaps you can't)
The only reason he's getting a 4 out of 5 is for the setting in which I was taught.
It began in a hard to find downstairs area of a multiplex building. Then the backroom of a music store where he was constantly needed to step out & assist with other things because the store was a start up business.
It was like 10yrs ago, & the locations & setting have likely changed.
Call me harsh for docking his rating, but I was paying my own way & felt really upset by parts of my lesson time being taking up for other things, or waiting outside a locked building when things should have started on time.

Greg is an amazing guitar teacher and I highly recommend his services!!

There is no finer teacher anywhere than Greg!
Having never played any instrument before , Greg took away any worries or anxiety I might have had. His patience and vast expertise with stringed instruments is truly amazing. Students learn at their own pace not the instructors. Greg has students making actual music very early in the process. Being able to actually play something right away is highly motivating and more importantly Fun !
Greg’s personality and his amazing talent makes it very easy to engage in the process . Having taken Bass Guitar lessons for several years with Greg , I can’t imagine what it might have been like with another teacher. Greg is an amazing instructor !
You won’t be disappointed!

A top notch player who can also instruct as well, which is a rarity. Greg’s method of teaching builds on itself week after week. I found myself having “aha” moments after sessions when I began to understand the fretboard better after only a few lessons.

Greg is insanely talented and is eager to share his knowledge. I have learned so much and look forward to guitar every week!

My daughter has been taking lessons with Greg for several months now and is really enjoying learning in a creative and no pressure environment. She suffers from anxiety and he has tailored his approach to showcase her talents and give constructive feedback to help her improve. Greg is really good at getting a feel for what his students need so that he can give them individualized instruction that moves at a pace that they are comfortable with. I always stay to watch her lessons and I can honestly say that I’ve learned a great deal just from observation and it’s been fun for me to see her learning new things and having the confidence to play for others.
Greg is super nice, patient, and knowledgeable. He knows a lot about music, and is a very patient teacher. Even though I have only been taking lessons from him for a couple months, I have learned a lot! Some songs I’ve been wanting to learn for a long time I’ve now studied and played, and it’s super fun!

Greg has been awesome. Connects well with my 15 yr. old and keeps the material fun and fresh. He has really helped inspire harder work in my child's practice. It has been a very positive situation!

My 13 year old has taken guitar lessons for years and Greg is hands down the BEST teacher we’ve had. He is professional, fun and an amazing teacher. He keeps my son engaged, even after a long school day.

Greg is a great teacher and he teaches everyone at their own level even if its during a summer camp. I took private lessons and also did summer camp and when I was struggling he always found a way to help me understand. Awesome teacher and I would recommend him to anyone who is looking!

Astronomical teacher.

I took a number of guitar lessons from Greg. I knew very little about playing, just some very basic stuff. He was very encouraging, yet pushed me to try some new things. I enjoyed his style of teaching very much and would recommend him highly. Great sense of humor to boot. At least some of the reason I’m still playing today is from that earlier teaching. Thanks for the help Greg

I took lessons with Greg for a few months online and in person. Greg's a very skilled guitarist, and an amazing teacher who's understanding and patient. Highly recommend.

Greg was great to work with! My daughter was a bit nervous at first, but Greg made her feel comfortable and confident in no time. He helped her choose music to help her learn the skills, but made sure it was music she was interested in and wanted to learn and practice. We had to stop lessons due to time constraints, however; we are hoping to start up again this fall.

Does a great job with my 6 & 7 year old. Helping them to love music

Greg provides a personalized lesson plan. He helped me transition from an acoustic guitar player to a bass guitar player. He knows so many techniques and has great advice. I recommend him for lessons.

Greg is an excellent teacher for any level or age of student. He has fantastic and proven methods of teaching. My lessons are something I look forward to every week. Comfortable atmosphere. He has exceptional talent. Has the gifting and ability to make learning fun and exciting. He is dedicated and passionate about teaching can also repair and set up your instrument. Highly recommend him.

Listens, and hears where I am. Provides new material and practice for upcoming lessons.

Greg is an awesome teacher! First of all he is an AMAZING bass player, he really knows his stuff! Secondly, he is terrific at understanding the needs of his students and helping them with their individual goals.

Encouraging, knowledgeable, and experienced bass and guitar teacher who teaches what you need along with what you want.

my daughter loves taking lessons from Greg!

Smart, Funny, Very talented, glad he is willing to teach someone like me

Greg has been able to help me with all my questions about effects, amps and the terminology associated with their settings and what they actually do for any of my electric guitar setups !

Greg is an incredible player with a humble attitude towards teaching. He also has helped me with all of my technical questions !

My son is having a great experience learning guitar. He looks forward to each lesson.

Gewg is an awesome teacher and has no problem with any questions you have
Greg is a great guy and a wonderful bassist! He will certainly help you get your playing to the next level. I highly recommend him!

Greg was very knowledgea and nice.

Greg is a best-in-class and excellent musician, and more importantly, he is able to translate those skills to his students in an easy-to-understand manner. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for lessons, beginner or more, young or old.
As a music instructor, Greg is among the best in the business. He combines decades of musical knowledge with years of real world playing experience. He is a dedicated instructor with a real passion for teaching, and I highly recommend his music teaching services.

I teach beginning guitar and whenever I have a student who asks to learn something that I don't know how to play, I go and take a few lessons from Greg. He is very good at helping students take their playing to the next level of proficiency.

Daughter loves it!

One of the most gifted bass guitar players I know. Also teaches electric guitar, acoustic guitar. Good teacher, knows how to help others become beter.

Greg has been teaching me acoustic guitar for almost a year now. His passion for what he does comes out in his teaching and his students are the better for it. He really helped me grow as a new guitar player and I have him to thank for that. In addition to being very knowledgeable about music, he was extremely flexible in developing a curriculum that fit what I was looking for. Very highly recommended!

Greg has the ability to understand and know where any musician is at in their quest for knowledge about how to play their instruments with more confidence. He listens and is very intent on the students needs and not trying to overwhelm them with too much. Greg has helped me with a better understanding of how to play my bass better along with encouraging me to step out a little more to learn the whys and how comes we all wonder about music at times. He also enjoys learning from our own joirneys in music. I would recommend Greg to anyone, every time it is worth it. I have found new levels of playing the bass that i did not know that existed in me. He is just a great all around Christian man who loves to serve the Lord with those who God has put in his path.

Greg was awesome with my daughter. She struggles with confidence and has some learning difficulties. He was patient, kind and fun! I would highly recommend him!!

My lessons were always very refreshing, challenging, and inspiring. I always looked forward to the lessons and left feeling supported and excited to continue to improve my playing.

My daughter's skills and confidence playing the guitar really flourished after we transferred to Greg.
Greg's expertise is tops! From intonation, to chops, to expression, to rhythm. It's all there.

Greg has taught myself, my son and my daughter all guitar and has done a fantastic job! He is always encouraging and full of knowledge.

Gregory is an excellent teacher! Even when I was ready to give it up, because my playing sounded terrible, Greg encouraged me to keep going and told me it sounded fine. The more I played, the better it did sound. Now I can actually play! He also has lots of tips and tricks to help you along. Best instructor ever!

Having worked with Greg over the course of several years now, I have the deepest respect for his teaching ability. As a performer with over 25 years of experience, I find it a rare and special talent for someone as gifted as Greg is (as an artist) to be as humble and willing to listen as he most certainly is. He promotes a learning atmosphere of safety while also ensuring excellence is produced by students. His grasp on musical theory is second to none, and his skill as a seasoned guitarist ensures that what is being taught by him is both credible and of the highest standards.
I am privileged to know Greg personally as well as professionally, and I can vouch (once again) for his humility, skill, professionalism, credibility as a working artist, integrity, and work ethic. His heart is to watch the lights go on in his students and his passion in doing so serve to distinguish him as one of th

Great attitude every time you came in to practice. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and that he wants you to learn and understand guitar. It was an incredible experience getting to work with him. I still have every song and music theory paper he gave me, and I still study them. All in all he is a great teacher.

Greg helped me start playing bass and to progress to the level where I'm playing on my church's worship team 2x per month with comfort and fun! He's very knowledgeable and easy to learn from.

Gregory is a fantastic teacher! He is very knowledgeable and conveys this knowledge in a way that is easy to understand. He is attentive to the needs of his students and supportive of individual goals!

Greg is an excellent teacher. Thoroughly knowledgeable and extremely encouraging. He is able to teach you needed theory through the songs and styles you want to learn rather than forcing you through a one-size-fits-all system. You'll be glad you took lessons from him.

Awesome! Talented musician and great teacher!

Gregory's skill and knowledge of guitar is absolutely outstanding! The best part is that his lessons are delivered in a way that are easy to understand and follow. He's opened my eyes to music theory by teaching me in a way that I can understand. Just fantastic!

OVERVIEW Greg has been a professional musician and teacher both since 1989. During that time, he has cultivated himself to be a teacher of other musicians. He has gained vast knowledge and experience in sculpting others to meet their goals. This experience has made him knowledgeable of instruments, sound equipment, and the workings of a music team as a whole. He has served as a worship team member at four churches. Currently, Greg leads the worship arts dept at his home church and grows his heart and skill for worship leading. Running his own business and developing marriage coaching skills will prove useful in the leadership and guidance of those he assists in improving their skills. STRENGTHS TEACHING Greg's goal is the building up of those around him in ways that they can understand. Being a strong teacher isn't about being right; it is about leading so that others will follow you. Finding the way to teach a person how they need to learn is a skill Greg has developed through years of practice and listening to students. WORSHIP TEAM EXPERIENCE Several years working with worship teams at different levels has allowed Greg to see them from many vantage points. These experiences have had him everywhere, from leading worship to running sound and everything in between. Knowing that these areas are all essential and must all come together to facilitate a congregation to worship is a strength Greg brings with him. KNOWLEDGE During Greg's years as a musician, he has picked up many skills that add quality to his leadership abilities. Not only is Greg skilled in playing the bass, vocals, guitar, and drums, but he is knowledgeable in the theory behind the music. He can teach those around him to read and understand the music they are playing. He has also spent many hours putting together and running sound systems, so his knowledge goes beyond the stage and into the team's overall sound. Having experience of CCLI and how the music industry works, Greg will use "pop sensibilities" to best utilize and choose music that is pertinent and worshipful. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT ROSSITER KIDS COLLEGE 2013 & 2014 It is introducing 20 kids at a time to guitar basics. Greg often runs into many of these children at outreach programs at church. He gets to be the familiar face that allows them to feel comfortable and a sense of belonging. HELENA FIRST ASSEMBLY YOUTH WORSHIP LEADERS 10/2011 – 9/2012 Greg and his wife Lisa spent a season as the leadership for the youth worship team at Helena's first assembly.
