Learn how to play bluegrass music on guitar with an expert guitar teacher
In Bluegrass guitar courses, I will teach you the basics of bluegrass guitar playing, such as chords, reading TAB, strumming, finger picking style and lead solo playing. I will help you learn how to play your favorite song quickly. You will not need to know how to read sheet music. I will show you an easy method of playing guitar, called tablature. I teach songs from artists such as: Billy Strings, Chet Atkins, Bill Monroe, Mumford and Sons, just to name a few. Grab your acoustic guitar and let's have some fun!

About Ryan B.
4.9
(91)
Greetings! My name Is Ryan B. I have been with TakeLessons for 10 years and have been blessed to work with so many wonderful people. I would love to work with your or your student!
I provide personalized and affordable online lessons. Online lessons are convenient and effective!
I teach the following subjects:
Guitar, including: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Country Guitar,
Bluegrass Guitar, and Blues Guitar
Piano
Bass
Drums

and ACT Science
SAT Tutoring
What makes me different from other music teachers and tutors? Simple, I customize EACH lesson in each subject with the student in mind. I create a specific goal oriented plan for each student regardless of ability.
Every student has different needs and goals, so I take the time to create and customize plans for each student.
Curious about the effectiveness of online learning?
Here's a recent review of my online drum lessons from Christian:
"My son has been learning the drums with Mr. Ryan for almost 5 years. We couldn't have asked for a better teacher! Mr. Ryan is kind, funny, patient, and knowledgeable. I don't think you could ask for any more in a teacher! Due to the pandemic, we've shifted to online learning for the past year and it has been such a blessing to be able to continue our learning. Without skipping a beat, Mr. Ryan has created an effortless way for students to learn online. We highly recommend lessons with Mr. Ryan. It's easier now than ever!"

Hope to see you soon!
