Guitar Lessons With Jay Skyler

Introduction: I am an experienced guitarist, vocalist, guitar teacher, and performer with lots of patience and a strong memory of not being able to tune my guitar, let alone communicate with it. When I first started, I struggled to improve until I learned a better way to learn, largely from almost famous rockers and professional jazz musicians in New York. I quickly learned that rock, folk, metal and blues require a much different perspective from jazz and classical guitar, so I spent years adapting their methods to popular music styles, both for my own playing and writing (I play lead guitar and sing in my own original music rock band.) and for my students. I made it step by step to make it integrated and less intimidating. My goal has always been to teach my students (and myself) how to express themselves on the guitar, find their own voice, and, quite simply, play the hell out of the damned thing. I've been doing just that full time since 2003. You can play guitar if you want to. It takes much less time than you think if you start out right. Females, males, young, old, rock stars, and absolute beginners are all welcome!
