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!!

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 has been a great guitar teacher for my son. He helped guide us on the best guitar to get for my son's skills as well. We highly recommend Dennis!!!

Dennis does a great job at explaining and giving good feedback, as well as following up with supplemental material. Professional and kind, on time, could not ask for a better guitar teacher!
