About
I work out of Fort Worth, Texas, so most lessons are virtual. I've been teaching for fifteen years (and playing a WHOLE lot longer!) - all ages, all styles, electric, acoustic. Reasonable rates, patient, knowledgeable and thorough. Lesson plans and practice schedules provided. I focus on a complete knowledge of the instrument, chords, scales, theory, and songs, but at the same time, customizing lessons to fit the individual student's goals. After getting the basics down, we will focus on what YOU want to play!! I love getting students excited about learning and playing! Playing an instrument is a lifelong endeavor - there's always more to learn and areas to improve upon. So many students have had fits and starts, not having a decent "road map" or a view of the "big picture" - even after months of lessons with other instructors. I feel it's my job to not only teach the "nuts and bolts", but also keep the student focused on their ultimate goals, not mine! My only goal is to help you become the BEST guitarist you can be and develop a love for playing!! Whatever your goals are - fun with family and friends, performance, composition or whatever, I believe that with my help, you can achieve them!!

Dennis has been the Rock of my guitar experience. started taking lessons as a beginner and had been struggling with chord changes and picking accuracy.” He gives Clear explanations, Patient and encouraging, structured lessons, good exercises. “Dennis explains things in a very clear and patient way. He breaks difficult techniques into small exercises that are easy to practice.” I would highly recommend Dennis!

I recently joined Dennis’s guitar class and I’m extremely happy with my experience so far. He is not only highly skilled but also very patient and encouraging, which makes learning so much more enjoyable. He explains concepts clearly, breaks down difficult techniques into easy steps, and ensures that every student progresses at their own pace. What I really appreciate is the positive and motivating atmosphere he creates—each class feels engaging, and I always walk away feeling more confident and inspired to practice. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience, I truly believe you’ll benefit a lot from his teaching. Highly recommended! 🎸

Dennis provides high value, demonstrating his love of music, and true dedication to his craft. He is not a clock-watcher, as I usually need to call time! In addition to time on line, he always follows up with recap videos within a day or two. He is strong on technique and theory, but also likes to take on the challenge of songs I have suggested, even when they were foreign to his ear! I wish this guy was my neighbor! Thanks!
