Lou Larson, My Guitar Hero! I started taking lessons from Lou about 8 years ago when a rare opening became available in his schedule and after a short stint with another guitar instructor. The difference in technical understanding, skill and teaching abilities were immediately obvious. As I got to know Lou, I realized that his love of teaching stemmed from his passion for all things guitar. He never appeared to be teaching as a job but more for his love of sharing his knowledge. While I know that Lou counts many accomplished guitarists as his students, I found him to be incredibly patient and helpful to me as a new guitarist. Regardless of the song we worked on, Lou always challenged me to continue working on my technique which is beneficial for any song. Each week, I look forward to spending time with Lou furthering my guitar playing skills and exploring the wonderful world of music. Lou makes learning a rewarding and fun experience

I was a brand new student 3 years ago and started with Lou based on a recommendation from another student of his that I work with. He has taught me as well as my high school son. We have progressed dramatically and continuously on all the major fronts; sight reading, finger exercises, basic rhythm and lead composition. I can work with him on classical exercises, country, folksy acoustic and heavy metal electric with tons of overdrive. This has made a lifelong goal of playing a musical instrument a true reality. My wife even remarks that she can recognize my feeble attempts to play a certain song by my guitar alone--no accompanying instruments or soundtracks. That speaks well to progressing at a difficult but attainable goal. I highly recommend him!!!!!

Studying guitar under Lou has been a great decision. I did not decide to pursue guitar until I was in my 50's. Lou has remained patient throughout, and helped me learn to play the music I love. His lessons are always challenging, yet always fun. Every lesson is thought out to advance my playing skills, pushing me to improve using songs I love to play. Lou is the absolute best guitar mentor anyone could ever ask for. Anyone who gets the opportunity I have, to study with Lou, will find it a amazing experience. He is the consummate professional.

Lou is an excellent guitar teacher. Three years ago, I had never played guitar and was seeking someone to help me learn. Lou helped me pick out my first guitar (and now several more), and I began my lessons. He is an excellent teacher - he keeps the material interesting by taking a real interest in my tastes, and just as importantly he is teaching me to PLAY THE INSTRUMENT as opposed to just playing some songs. By combining basic music theory with practical exercises, I have improved quickly and look forward every week to my lesson. Highly recommend

Lou is a great teacher. He was able to hone in on what I really wanted to learn and was able to teach me the material in a practical, easy to learn format. I've had other teachers in different disciplines and Lou ranks right up there with the best of them. Not only is he a great teacher but he's a fantastic guitar player and an all around great guy. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to really learn how to play guitar.
