About
I have been teaching guitar to people of all ages and skill levels for over 15 years and I can't imagine doing anything else for a living! Although I live in Phoenix, Arizona with my wife and 2 kids, I teach the majority of my students online through Zoom, Skype, Facetime, etc. My biggest passion is to teach my students how to play the music that they enjoy. I have taught everything from Taylor Swift to Metallica and anything in between! One of my main goals in teaching guitar is to make the process fun and engaging for every one of my students. I offer a free virtual meet and greet to everyone who's interested so don't hesitate to reach out! While I do have standard lesson rates, I can be flexible on those if needed. All lesson/song materials will be provided for you digitally so you always have access to what you need for your practice time. Looking forward to hearing from you!

My daughter did online guitar lessons with Matt, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He was incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. He made Adley feel comfortable right away, which really helped her confidence and love for learning music. Matt has such a calm and positive teaching style, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students. We’re so grateful for the experience and highly recommend him to any parent looking for a wonderful guitar teacher for their child. Don't let that face fool you, she just doesn't like her picture taken!

In the three years I’ve been learning guitar with Matt, I’ve grown so much as a musician. His easygoing, fun approach makes the whole process really enjoyable. You learn by playing songs you actually know and love, so lessons never feel boring or forced. He meets you where you’re at, moves at your pace, and creates a space where progress feels natural. He’s easily the most encouraging teacher I’ve had. Highly recommend.

My daughter has been taking lessons with Matt for about 3 years now. She started with acoustic guitar and is now learning electric and she loves it! She’ll often ask him to teach her songs she likes, and he’s always happy to work them into her lessons. Matt is knowledgeable, patient, punctual, and very responsive. We’ve had a great experience and highly recommend him!

I strongly recommend guitar lessons with Matt Tate. Matt is a highly skilled guitar player and an excellent teacher. He's well prepared, with excellent lesson plans, exercises and songs. Matt is very patient and explains concepts clearly. I've been taking lessons with Matt for over three years and enjoy each one. I'm really pleased with my progress, and I know you'll have a similar experience.

Matt is a wonderful teacher! I have been wanting to learn how to play my guitar for three years and I have found the perfect person to help me! I would have also selected work quality and value if I could choose all of the options I really appreciate Matt, and his teaching style. He is encouraging, patient, and he always reassures me that I will learn in time. Thank you, Matt!
