Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: Here at the studio the focus is on having fun learning the songs you enjoy as the main tool for teaching you the fundamentals of how to play the guitar. If you're having fun then you'll practice and if you practice you WILL see results! You'll use full band backing tracks to practice along with and once you have mastered each song we'll record YOU playing along with these tracks. I'll master the track and next we'll record a cool music video of your performance. I also have what's called the THE ROCKSTAR GUITAR AWARDS PROGRAM. How this works is you'll build up a setlist of completed songs and along the way you'll earn demo awards, singles awards, Gold record awards, Platinum records awards etc... This program is a blast!!! While learning skills is an important part of our program we never forget the reason you picked up the guitar in the first place. It's to play music!!! WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT THE WORK YOU DO? Seeing my students break through the hurdles that are put in front of them and feeling a sense of accomplishment. It's the greatest feeling in the world when you see the light bulb come on in my students heads when it all comes together and they "Get it"! The other thing I really enjoy is when I see a student complete their first song that they have only heard on the radio up until that point. It's exciting to watch them play the song and even more exciting to watch their reactions when they hear themselves on the recording of themselves playing along with their favorite band. This is the point where they feel like a "real" guitar player!

Don is the perfect rock guitar teacher,... just look at him, ROCK AND ROLL!!! No "bow-tie" guy teaching "Mary had a little lamb" here!,... Don is the real deal! He also writes the greatest articles for the Guitar Magazine that beginners can learn from.

I took beginning guitar lessons with Don Parkhurst for almost a year and found Don to be a very patient and attentive teacher. Don has a positive attitude toward working with a beginner and makes the learning fun.

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I offer a free introductory session which gives us a chance to meet, I can learn more about your goals and interests, I can show you what the whole program is all about and we can do a short lesson to get you started on something.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We work together to figure out exactly where they need to most help and how these things relate to their overall goal. Once we do this then a plan is formed and we begin this exciting journey!

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I attended Hartford Conservatory of Music and attended classes at Atlanta Institute of Music. I have studied with many incredibly talented teachers including Alex Skolnick (Testament,Trans-Siberian Orchestra),Tom Oferrall and Mike Kevetoes and have also had extensive teacher training in various guitar teacher training programs along with being part of a worldwide guitar teachers network.
