Guitar Instruction by Phil Westfall

Introduction: There are as many ways to learn to play modern popular music on guitar, bass or vocals as there are people wanting to do so. That's why I broke away from the "old school," the traditional, the factory-style, "one size fits all" approaches still typical in the industry today. I emphasize a Fun Style way of learning, first by helping people learn to play THEIR Music of Choice, second by breaking it down to a level of simplicity. Everyone I work with starts playing something from the very first lesson. They're excited to go home and play the new things they've just learned. I strive to keep it fun; after all, there's always something new and cool to play! I love watching my players' eyes light up when they discover that they too can play their favorite music. Many find that becoming a Musician is a thrilling, life-transforming process, bringing confidence and healing. This is what makes teaching music my "dream job come true."
