Impactful Online Music Lesson! Play in Real Time!

My name is Erik Frank. I hold a BA in Music: Jazz and World Studies with an Emphasis on Guitar Performance from San Francisco State University, and I have been teaching guitar and bass since I was 16 years old — starting with guitar classes at my local recreation center. That’s over 20 years of teaching experience and a genuine passion for helping people find their voice on the instrument. Over the years I have performed with bands including Thea the Band, Sunrise Company, and Harmonica John, bringing real-world musicianship into every lesson I teach. I specialize in working with adult beginners — people who have always wanted to play but never knew where to start. My students don’t sit through boring exercises. From day one you’re playing music, building real skills, and actually enjoying the process. I teach online using FarPlay, a platform built specifically for music lessons that eliminates lag and delivers crystal clear sound. It feels just like being in the same room — without the commute. ⭐ “I have learned more with Erik in a short time than I did in years of trying on my own. The fact that he teaches online makes scheduling super easy too.” — Zoe S. ⭐ “Erik is patient, encouraging, and knowledgeable. He breaks things down into simple, manageable steps so it never feels overwhelming.” — Tom H. I teach Rock, Blues, Funk, Jazz, Folk, Pop, R&B, and more on both guitar and bass. I have been on Thumbtack since 2022 with 34 five-star reviews and many of my students have been with me for years. Ready to start? Message me and let’s set up your first lesson.
