    I take a tailored approach to each students requirements - no one size fits all approach from me. We will take a look at your strengths and weaknesses and talk about your wants and needs, I will make a plan and we will take a structured approach with tangible goals and tasks set each week. I take a top down approach, always working from the angle of practical application and I embellish that with theory tidbits along the way, providing an educational aspect coupled with practicality. I have been playing guitar since 1994 and have taught much of that time. I play guitar for #1 hit makers "The Three Degrees" and am also the guitar player at Times Square Church. I have taught at many top music schools in London and NYC. I have had educational articles published in Guitar player magazine as well as Total Guitar magazine. I look forward to serving your guitar educational needs.

    I've been taking lessons from Nick for a couple of months now. I've been playing for a while and I decided that I needed to understand the layout of the fretboard more and how scale shapes relate to chords. Nick has really helped me with this and I now have a direction that will produce a vast improvement in my playing knowledge. I cannot recommend Nick highly enough and wherever you are on your playing journey, Nick will take you to the next level and beyond!

    Although I didn't formally study with Nick we did play many gigs together in NYC. Nick is a great guitar player with a lot of technique and a lot of musicality. He should be your first choice for instruction on guitar, both online and in person. He communicates extremely well in both mediums; Nick will make you a better guitarist. Billy Likitsakos

    Nick Kellie provides professional, easy to understand, customized instructions for the beginner or professional ! I've been writing and performing as a professional musician for over 20 years., and NICK was able to work with me on a few specific things - custom to my experience and working situation, to help me prepare for live and studio situations that I wanted to challenge myself to improve. HIGHLY RECOMMEND ! Brad Alden (worship leader)
