Geauga County / North East Ohio's Premier Guitar Lessons

WHAT SKILL LEVELS DO YOU TEACH?
We instruct students of all skill levels, from complete beginners who have never held a guitar to advanced players with over 50 years of experience.

Before taking lessons with Guitar Lessons Geauga I had another teacher and playing guitar and practicing often felt like a chore I had to do. Now guitar lessons and practicing is fun and I have a lot more confidence in my playing.

WHAT KIND OF GUITAR SHOULD I BUY?
Kids should always start out with an electric guitar.

Adults and teens should think about the type of music they wish to play, as this can really help in selecting the ideal guitar for them! I still suggest starting off with an electric guitar because its smaller body makes it super easy to see and reach the fretboard, and the thinner strings make them much easier to press down. You can begin by buying the guitar now and purchase the amp later.

That being said, you should buy the type of guitar that fits you best. If you’re eager to learn acoustic guitar, then buying an acoustic is the way to go.

Feel free to contact us, and we can help you choose the guitar that best suits you!

My three sons have been taking lessons at Guitar Lessons Geauga for around eight years. Brian is very patient and kind with the kids and helps them in every way possible. All three of my boys are more advanced players than I ever thought they could be!

These days you can spend months or even years wasting time watching YouTube Videos or listening to your buddy who plays guitar and still not see much progress. There is so much information available it is hard to know where to start. I know what it’s like because when I started playing the guitar, I bought every book, video, and correspondence course I could find, hoping it would be the magic missing piece that would finally make the guitar make sense. I never did find that guitar holy grail in any book or video. I did not realize that I did not understand enough about the guitar to know how to judge what was good or bad.


What I needed was an expert who could guide me. After years of frustrating and slow progress, I finally found a teacher who could help me pinpoint all my bad habits and show me exactly what I needed to do to overcome them. This helped me make massive progress and made playing and practicing fun again. I learned that what I needed was not always more information but guidance and training on how to be creative with what I already knew. 


You can save a lot of time and avoid frustration when you study with an expert guitar instructor.


At Guitar Lessons Geauga, lessons are designed to give you the correct information to help you obtain the skills you need to play the music you love. You will learn how to apply the skills you learn and structure your practice schedule to get maximum results. I will be there to help you through every step of your musical journey and make sure you can use and understand everything you learn. Let me help you minimize the frustration and maximize your fun while you learn to play the guitar.

Many students struggle with eliminating the bad habits that develop from being self-taught or YouTube students. Don’t waste another minute of your practice time learning to play the wrong way!

At Guitar Lessons Geauga, you will learn what you need to do to break the cycle of frustration and make massive progress with your guitar playing. You will learn what skills you need to work on to be able to play the songs you love and the most effective ways to practice them. You will not only learn guitar faster; you are guaranteed to learn things the right way. 

For 30 years, I have helped many people who once felt frustrated with their playing and stuck in a rut overcome these obstacles and become great guitar players.

Guitar Lessons Geauga offers friendly, encouraging instruction that will provide you with the guidance and support you need to master the guitar and have the confidence to play anything, anywhere, anytime.

WOULD IT BE HELPFUL FOR ME TO LEARN SOME BASICS ON MY OWN BEFORE STARTING LESSONS?
Of course not! Many beginners wonder about this, thinking they should know a bit before our first meeting. If you haven’t learned to play anything yet, that’s actually wonderful news! You haven’t developed any bad habits, learned things out of order, or felt confused by learning from resources that seem to contradict each other. Together, we will build a solid musical foundation that will let you play real music with ease and truly enjoy your progress!

I took lessons at Guitar Lessons Geauga before I left for the Atlanta School of Music. What I learned jump-started me into a successful college experience along with a successful career in music that I have now.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE ME TO GET “GOOD”? 
It really depends on the individual, their interest, goals, and how quickly they want to make progress. You can progress in as little as 10-20 minutes of practice 4-5 days a week if you have the proper training from an experienced guitar teacher on a consistent basis. It's important to remember that your understanding of an instrument goes beyond just the number of songs you learn to play. We not only help you cultivate your talents but also assist you in developing real-world skills.

Are You Ready To Finally Play Guitar The Way You Always Wanted To?

Unfortunately, most guitar teachers have zero training on how  and what to teach, which leads to students wasting their time and money on ineffective and outdated methods. When looking for a guitar teacher your first question should be, "How were you trained to teach?"

Guitar Lessons Geauga specializes in teaching guitar.  As a member of the EGTIC (an international professional organization of guitar teachers) I have learned proven methodology for helping students succeed. My top priority is helping my students reach and surpass their goals.

AM I TOO OLD TO LEARN GUITAR?
Absolutely not! You might be pleasantly surprised to discover that a significant number of our students are adults. We welcome adults of ALL ages. You’re never too old to learn something new.

HOW LONG SHOULD I TAKE LESSONS FOR? 
As long as you still have the desire to learn and improve, we have students who have been with us for over ten years and still continue to master their instruments and improve their skills.

IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!​
