Introduction
Learning a musical instrument takes a commitment of daily practice that cannot be done in one lesson. I want you to succeed so that is why I start new students with a 5 week intro course. That way we both can see all the progress made and I can help you keep up your momentum. Most music teachers don't have the experience to see what students need and get them playing efficiently. It doesn't feel like a job. It's more like jamming with friends.

Monte is an excellent instructor. Due to other financial obligations we had to suspend our lessons but my daughter and I are excited to continue when we are able. I highly recommend taking lessons and the virtual option is a definite plus.

I decided to start learning guitar at the age of 53 and have been working with Monte Erwin for over a year. In this time I have had a blast and have learned enough to enjoy many of the classic rock songs I loved as a kid. Today I’m working on Plush by STP!! The G4 Method is clearly geared to music I like, unlike some of the other instructional books on the market, and includes theory that helps to understand everything. All that is required is time to practice! Monte is super knowledgeable, flexible, accessible and friendly....a real pro at this. I strongly recommend Monte Erwin and the G4 Method.

I have been taking in-person and virtual lessons with Monte at G4 for 1 year now. He moved me into a class with 2 experienced guitarists several months ago which has been very beneficial, sped up my learning curve and increased my knowledge in theory. I have followed Monte’s motto which is to practice G4 guitar lessons 30 minutes a day before playing songs...he likes to say “Eat your salad before your dinner”. If you are looking for a musical education that is fun and affordable, look no further.
