I opened this shop because lessons shouldn't feel like homework.

I spent a decade teaching out of studios that made twelve-year-olds sight-read scales before they'd ever strummed a song. Nobody stuck around.

Here you pick a song you actually like in week one, and we build the skill to play it. Some weeks that's tricky barre chords. Some weeks it's just getting your calluses to stop hurting. Either way, you leave every class able to play something you couldn't an hour before.

No recitals unless you want one. No judgment if you skip a week. Just a guitar, a stool, and forty-five minutes that are yours.

Three levels. Pick where you actually are.

Your first 30 days.

Four weeks, four concrete skills — not vague progress, things you can actually point to.

WEEK 1

Fret three open chords cleanly, no fret buzz.

WEEK 2

Switch between chords in time with a metronome.

WEEK 3

Strum a full song, top to bottom, without stopping.

WEEK 4

Play along with another person — in tune, in time.

What students say.

“Six weeks in I played Wonderwall at a bonfire and didn't butcher a single chord change.”

“I'm fifty-two. I thought I'd missed my shot at this years ago. Turns out I hadn't.”

Robert K. — now plays Knockin' on Heaven's Door

“Lessons fit around my shift work, and my daughter dances every time I play for her now.”

Maya T. — now plays Stand By Me

“No theory lectures, just try this, now try this. I actually practice most nights now.”

Devon L. — now plays Horse With No Name
