Thank you for using Thumbtack. They are a very professional company and have helped me so much since I began working with them in 2012. I love working with beginners and making their musical journey rewarding and fun Now is the perfect to time learn guitar and can be done effectively online. It will relax you and teach you something you will sincerely appreciate for years to come. I have worked with Thumbtack for over a decade and started a nonprofit music educational foundation registered in Colorado in 2017. I do live/multimedia performances in Senior Centers, Homeless Shelter, Hospices and some other strange places as well. I love teaching music so much and I have learned so much from my 80+ students. It is my calling. My lessons will inspire us both to become better musicians, freer people and help ignite the Fires of Creativity and Self Expression deep within. I guarantee I can teach you to learn to form and change chords quickly. cleanly and faster than anyone I know by a method I developed based on neuro-physics that makes it a breeze. My students generally are not trying to become rockstars. They are beginners of any age seeking to be part of this Magical journey. I make it easy and help you avoid the mistakes I encountered over 62 years of study. I focus initially on rhythm which is barely understood by most but can be learned with patience. I do “Rhythm Workshops For Kids” that are a blast and help many to find a means of expression without any formal musical training. “Shaker Eggs”; hand percussion instruments the size of an egg; (like maracas) have many nuances of sound. I have a collection of over 100 eggs donated by Sweetwater Sound and when I perform at events the audience each gets an “egg” and becomes my rhythm section. The events are video recorded. I have worked with students from 6-65. One was accepted at the amazing Berklee College of Music in Boston; probably the best place to study non-classical music. My method will take you to the next level of ability will transform you in ways you cannot believe. I do not accept all applicants as I don’t need to do so. As mentioned, your response costs the Professional even if not hired so please choose carefully remembering LESSONS ARE ONLINE ONLY! Many don’t get this! My students must demonstrate dedication and devotion. I allow 2 months of lessons then students are re-evaluated and we proceed from there. I specialize in quickly analyzing where to begin with beginner-medium level students and what skills need attention. I relate well with my students because they know I care and my lessons often become counseling sessions. I recently heard from one of my first students from Thumbtack who called just to see how I was and thank me. I’m a retired Commonwealth’s Attorney for Pennsylvania though I still love teaching, However I’m very busy but will never turn down someone seeking the existential joy of connecting with others through performing live. I sincerely appreciate and welcome new students and will do everything to make the experience worthwhile and fun. I’m very patient. Helping others to experience how wonderful it is to be able to play music from their hearts and to see how this ability transfers to other areas of their lives beyond Music is my mission Edward Baker

Edward is wonderful and I am saying this with the confidence of having only one lesson thus far. He worked with me right away with scheduling and really had so much to say about the power of music, which is something I have always felt. I had experience in vocals and piano, but always wanted to learn guitar. I brought a $15 guitar with me to my first lesson knowing that Edward would need to restring it. Unbeknownst to me the guitar was pretty much worthless, so he helped me find a reasonably priced guitar on line and really had my best interest at heart. His follow up has been wonderful, giving me chords to practice and theory to follow. His teaches the guitar and lets you make it your own. Very nice and easy to work with and would highly recommend based on my passed music lessons.

I started taking lessons from Edward about one month ago. I recently started playing guitar again after a 5 year break. He teaches in a way that is entertaining and easy to understand. My knowledge of music theory and my guitar techniques have already improved. I look forward to a long mentorship with Edward in my pursuit to become a better guitar player. I would recommend him to any beginner, intermediate, or advanced player.

Samuel is a great teacher. I'm new to guitar and in my mid 40s. He has made lessons so much fun. Expectations are realistic, so my progress has been noticeable. He keeps things fresh and interesting. Also, very accomadating for lesson times. Well worth the time and money. I'm already playing songs after a few weeks......not bad for a complete novice. I get more and more excited about playing each week. George R. Virginia Beach

I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who wants to to start on this extremely exciting adventure :)
