Best Electric Guitar Teacher

I knew nothing about guitar. My grandad brought me an electric guitar pre pandemic and I'm just now getting lessons and Kurt is amazing, patient, and cool. I highly recommend him.

Marc, 19 lessons with Kurt

Great tutor!

Kurt is an excellent tutor. I have learned a lot about guitar by working with him, both in terms of music theory and playing different styles. He does a great job teaching how to play both rhythm and lead guitar parts, including techniques like palm-muting, bends, slides, staccato, hammer-ons, and pull-offs. He is very knowledgeable and patient.

Always Prepared and Personable

Kurt does a great job coming to each lesson prepared with material to review, add, and follow up on. He’s very patient and quick to adjust. Would recommend.

1st Lesson with Kurt was awesome

Kurt is a very patient, informative and a connecting tutor. I’ve never received 1 on 1 instruction before while learning to play guitar and Kurt really set the bar high on how effective a tutor can be when learning a new instrument. Kurt is an extremely knowledgeable musician and I’m looking forward to future lessons! Thank you, Kurt!
