Introduction: My real world experience allows me to get my students playing the way real guitarists do it. I share techniques and views of the world of guitar music that is powerful in getting results with my students.

I can not help give Lyle 5 stars. As a matter of fact, I'd give him 6 stars if that was an option. Not only is Lyle overwhelmingly talented, his teaching methods are perfect for any age. He has shown astounding patience with my 10 year-old son, who at times, becomes unfocused and frustrated. Lyle knows how to take a step back from the lesson and redirect my son so that he is not feeling so overwhelmed. Lyle encourages you to "play" your guitar, rather than "practice" your guitar to make learning the instrument a positive experience. He starts each student with actual rock songs, doesn't make you study complicated books, or test you on your knowledge. He simply wants to get you playing as soon as possible. We've been with Lyle now for a year and hope to continue with him for many years to come. If you are looking for real world guitar instruction with a knowledgeable, talented, patient instructor who knows how to work with both children AND adults, Lyle is the guy.

I have been Lyle's student for almost two years now and I can't possibly image a better instructor. My playing has improved in ways I never would have considered before I met Lyle-and it wasn't the result of repeating a bunch of boring scales. I can hear things in others and (more importantly) in my own playing that I never could before. You get to talk to a truly experienced player about everything guitar-technique, history, style, gear, theory, players-he knows it all. The lessons are entirely based on what you want out of your playing. Even if we're just playing through a song I would like to learn, Lyle turns everything into a lesson, explaining why things sound the way they do or a certain technique used by the artist-so you never walk away without learning something. But most importantly, Lyle makes playing exciting. There are times where it's easy to put the axe down with school, work etc. but not with Lyle. After a lesson all I want to do is play guitar for days on end and challenge myself to be like the legends he talks about. I've been playing at least a show a month with my band for the last year now. I've received many compliments on my playing and I've loved every minute of it. In all honestly, I owe a lot of that to him. Thanks Lyle

If you really want to enjoy playing a guitar acoustic or electric theres no aspect of playing or personal effort thats going to get you to that goal of enjoyment and self-confidence faster than an exceptional teacher. After a year of lessons, I found Lyle Long to be a truly exceptional teacher and musician. As a teenager, I was given a guitar by my grandmother, and over the next few years taught myself some basic chords, a few songs, and a lot of bad habits and techniques. I never took lessons. Looking back, I now understand why I got frustrated, lost interest, sold the guitar, and walked away from playing for 45 years. Last year, I picked up a guitar and find out what I could do with it. At 63, I wondered if an old dog really could learn any new tricks. From the first lesson, Lyle brushed away all of my hesitation and self-doubts, and started working on fixing those old, self-inflicted bad habits, poor techniques, and mistaken concepts. To put it mildly, it was great fun, amusing, and instructive; but step-by-step, a real confidence builder. I can only imagine what might have been if Id have been lucky enough to have had a teacher like Lyle when I was a teenager. Without doubt, the positive impacts would have been far more than just improving my musical abilities. To any parents out there who are considering music lessons for their children, I highly recommend Lyle Long as an instructor, and a role model. And if youre an adult, and ever wondered if you could play a guitar, all I can say is, Stop wasting time thinking about it! Give Lyle a call. I guarantee youll have a ball finding out more about guitars, music, and yourself than you ever imagined possible. Chris Crown
