Introduction
We make learning music so fun you might forget you're actually learning—like hiding veggies in mac and cheese. Instead of dusty old sheet music, we dive straight into the good stuff—rocking out with songs, scales, and epic solos. As you level up, we’ll add in some music theory and reading, but we promise it’ll be enjoyable! Check out our team of professional musicians and book a complimentary lesson today through our site.

Shane is a great instructor and his lessons are very enjoyable. He simultaneously teaches music theory and the music styles that you are interested in. I would recommend Shane to anyone that wants to continue their guitar journey.

Shane's a passionate and thoughtful teacher who goes the extra mile to provide his students with what they're looking for. I initially approached him saying I'd like to learn how to play some Jimi Hendrix and SRV songs, but once he learned that my interest was in understanding Blues as a whole genre and what makes these songs "work", he quickly pivoted our lessons to cover music theory as well. He always puts his students and what they want to learn first, and that flexibility, backed by his deep knowledge in music, makes him such a great teacher.

I'm an older student and Shane is a great teacher. He very professional and teaches according to a plan that originated from my goals as a student. He's professional, his lessons are clear and easy to follow, and everything we work on integrates nicely to make me a better guitarist and musician. I'd highly recommend him to anyone wanting to be a better guitarist.
