Private Bluegrass Guitar tutoring lessons Houston, TX.

Have you ever wanted to learn to play guitar, but are not sure where to start? My name is Evan, and after 15 years of guitar playing, I can help you get started and on your way to conquering this instrument. Whether you are younger, older, are a complete novice or have some experience, I will help you move into the intermediate phase of your guitar playing journey with lessons that provide the foundation for becoming a great player. Learning the basics of music theory, the basics of good technique, how to read tabs, chords, scales, learning the fretboard, general musical knowledge,- all integrated into fun lessons where you get to play your favorite music!

I've played guitar since I was only eight years old (over 20 years!) in many different bands, styles, and genres. I played in a traditional Irish ensemble when I was in college and have since picked up banjo, mandolin, harmonica, and bodhran (an Irish hand drum). I love playing and teaching bluegrass music, it's a special challenge both for me and the students!

From strumming chords & holding a pick, to using thumb & finger picks, alternate tuning & capo strategies, I work to inspire & elevate technique, musicality & fluency in the bluegrass genre.

Students learn how to chord and play leads in a bluegrass style while also learning great Americana tunes!
