PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ SOME TESTIMONIALS FROM FORMER STUDENTS:
I have taken lessons from Ed for about a month and I think he's an excellent teacher. I have been playing guitar for many years and taken lessons from several other teachers and Ed has me working on things that are helping me learn the theory that other teachers did not do. I find his approach very useful and it doesn't overwhelm. Plus he's willing to take the time to learn songs and solos that you want to learn, which adds an element of fun so you're not just learning and practicing theory and exercises. Ed is an excellent teacher, a nice guy, and a fun person to talk with. Highly recommended!

It is an experience being Ed's student. Being in his presence is humbling, and he makes you learn guitar like it's no biggy! He teaches so well, that you fail to notice how much experiential knowledge is being shared to you. He is very enthusiastic, and I couldn't be happier.

Please allow this review to recommend Ed Lanthier as an excellent guitar teacher. I studied under Ed for over a year, and looked forward to every visit. Ed is well-versed in various styles of guitar, including rock, metal, blues, folk, etc. Ed has a thorough knowledge of music theory and an organized and compassionate way of teaching theory even to the beginner. He believes, and I feel correctly, that proper understanding of music theory is the foundation to proper, accurate, and interesting playing. He has several developed picking styles, be it flat picking or finger picking. He also has the patience and kindness important to a good teacher. Lastly, he will thoroughly learn a piece you pick out, and then slowly and clearly teach you to play it precisely. I can highly recommend Ed Lanthier as an excellent guitar teacher.

Ed is so patient with my beginner's fumbles. He's relaxed and he makes music theory easy to understand, which enriches my education. Studying with Ed you'll find a very knowledgeable musician with a gifted ear; he can teach any song you want to learn, in my experience. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
