Lyles guitar lessons show you how to see the guitar as a greater picture within music, improving your phrases and leads with a thoughtful outlook on musical theory. Whether you want to play rock, blues, metal, or jazz, this guy has great guitar chops and wants to help you get better with yours.

Robby's teaching style is excellent for me. He tailors lessons especially to what I want to learn and to play which keeps me practicing and excited about playing. His enthusiasm is infectious and encourages me to want to get over particularly challenging guitar parts myself. I'd highly recommend Robby as a guitar teacher for someone like myself who is very busy but still wants to take guitar lessons because Robby is very accommodating to what I want to learn. Keep up the good work!

I just started guitar lessons with Jordan and so far everything has been great. Very easy to schedule and get things going. He recommended different guitars that I could purchase and the best places to go. He is very professional and patient. He explains things in a way that it is very easy to understand. Very excited to continue my lessons and highly recommend.

I have been taking lessons with Duncan for 2 months now and highly recommend! I had self-taught basic guitar experience before but feel like I have improved significantly in a short time working with Duncan. I leave every lesson feeling like I’ve made a big step forward in understanding the guitar, new things to practice, and most importantly the motivation to practice.

I decided to take guitar lessons 2 years ago after trying to learn on my own with limited success. I tried group lessons and got a little better but was limited by other students who didn't practice. I was fortunate to find Paul after talking with several teachers. Paul was willing to teach what I wanted to learn and push me to get better. Paul has exceeded my expectations. I'm better and having more fun playing guitar than I ever hoped. I highly recommend Paul for anyone wanting to learn guitar.

Really enjoyed my first lesson with Britt! I wanted to learn guitar to play songs for fun, and I’m less concerned about music theory, and she’s really great for that. She made our lesson fun and kept it engaging. Looking forward to learning more.

Cole is the best guitar teacher I could have asked for! He's patient and knows exactly what does and doesn't work for students. It's like he knew all of my questions and issues before even I did! I recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for guitar lessons!

I've been taking acoustic guitar lessons from Doug Wilmarth for a year now and have thoroughly enjoyed and learned from the experience. Doug teaches electric guitar as well. He is professional, incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and experienced. I recommend him highly! Great guy; great teacher!

I am so grateful to have taken guitar lessons from Paul. He is the most encouraging, inspiring guitar teacher and I learned so much from him. He always came to lessons prepared with new, fun songs that he'd taken the time to write out the music for! He met me at my level and knew just how to challenge me to help me grow as a player. I couldn't have asked for a better teacher and would suggest that anyone looking for lessons look no further than Paul. He's just the best.

We’ve been very happy with having live guitar lessons for our son. Our teacher is great & the communication from the team is prompt & helpful. We have a plan & our teacher has been very flexible with adding another student from our family. This is not a one & done. We hope to have many lessons from Traveling Music Lessons.

I purchased my first guitar just a few weeks before deciding to find a teacher, and I was hesitant about getting started. However, Jordan made the learning process both enjoyable and approachable. In our first lesson, we started with the very basics like going over the different types of guitars and fundamental techniques, which helped me feel more comfortable. Jordan is patient, knowledgeable, and great at breaking things down in a way that’s easy to understand. Each lesson is well-structured, and I appreciate how he tailors the sessions to my pace while still challenging me to improve. We begin each lesson by reviewing what I’ve been practicing throughout the week before diving into topics ranging from music theory and strumming patterns to chords and picking. Since starting lessons, I’ve gained confidence in basic chords, strumming patterns, pentatonic scales, and even improvisation. Jordan is always encouraging, making learning guitar a fun and rewarding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive guitar teacher!

We recently hired Shane for our eldest daughter’s guitar lessons. So far we already notice the improvement in her playing. Shane is very motivating and teaches her the basics as well as the songs she is interested in. Shane is patient and encouraging which makes our daughter confident in her abilities. Best of all we are a very busy family and Shane has proven himself to be accommodating and flexible with the ability to work around our schedule. We are on a very tight budget and where concerned that we might not be able to afford guitar lessons, but Shane’s rates are more than reasonable. I would recommend Shane to anyone whether you are a beginner and have never picked up a guitar or if you just need a refresher. Shane is the guy for all your guitar needs.

Travis is an excellent instructor, very patient and thorough, which I appreciated as an absolute beginner in classical guitar. I would recommend him to anyone, beginner or advanced, who is seeking a customized lesson plan with a professional teacher.

I’ve started with Duncan for the last 3 weeks. I really enjoy the lessons and how he explains the guitar. I feel like I’m understanding the building blocks of the guitar and the why behind the drills we are doing. It’s more like playing with a friend than an instructor which makes it much more fun. Highly recommend and can’t wait to continue my journey with him.

I am so glad that I started taking lessons with Kevin. I really enjoy his teaching style, and how he helps you learn songs that you want to learn and already enjoy listening to. He provides reasonable and attainable goals after each lesson, which has helped me with practicing between each lesson. I would highly recommend him for anyone that is interested in learning guitar.

Michael has been a great guitar instructor, he tailors each lesson to my abilities and the genres of music I enjoy most. The lessons are an excellent balance between theory and practical application that keep me challenged and excited for the chance to learn more. I would highly recommend him to guitarists of any level that want to quickly improve their skills.

I'm so pleased to be taking guitar lessons from Dave. I'm a (middle-aged!) beginner and he is very patient with me. He ensures I work on the fundamentals but always gives me something fun to tackle, too. I highly recommend Dave.
