About
Here at SGS, we create a custom lesson strategy based on the individual student's skill level. I will show you what you need to practice, when to practice it, and how long to practice it. I have a passion for helping aspiring guitar players not only learn "how to play" , but master their instrument.

I have been training with Josh for about 2 months now and my favorite part of his teaching method is how he takes a concept we learn and shows us how to apply it immediately to a song that we actually like to play, rather than tired and boring nursery rhyme type standards. He is always available to ask questions, and the group setting allows for collaboration with other students of similar skill and interest. What truly sets him apart is the customized learning map, so that I know what and how to practice rather than just picking at my guitar and never really expanding my skillset. I would recommend him to anyone that really wants to train to be a great guitarist.

We have gone thru 3 guitar teachers. Josh is the first to have his act together. He has structured lessons and actually takes classes to help him properly teach his skill, yet does it in an easy going manner. My kids have even noticed the difference in what they have learned with Josh verses other teachers. He does cost more than the other teachers we have used in the past but he also gives more. Definitely worth the money. I highly recommend using Josh.

After trying to learn guitar on my own for 5 years, I was stuck and frustrated. Working with Slidell Guitar School is helping me to get past those road blocks. Josh is a great teacher and is excited to help his students reach their goals. He has an holistic approach where he blends music theory with rhythm and lead. I feel like I am having epiphanies every five minutes in his classes. I'm so happy that I signed up!

I checked around and spoke with a few places and instructors before coming across Josh at Slidell Guitar Lessons, after we talked, I knew it was the right fit for me. Josh has a gift for playing AND teaching guitar and truly wants to share his gift with others. He explained to me the differences between his teaching methods and others and his own trials and tribulations along the way of his learning journey. With the real life experience he took from his teachers both good and bad, and the knowledge of his studies in teaching, I truly believe that he is implementing the best way to really learn how to play the guitar, the correct way, and still have fun while doing it. Very social guy, very motivational and passionate. I am a 40 year old male and had been reading online for years that it may be too late. Josh assured me that it is never too late, it is like anything else, you get out of it what you put into it and I CAN learn how to play. He says I will be pleasantly surprised in a years time and even more so in two years time, and I believe him. He is not interested in just giving you something in class and watching you practice the whole time. At each class we go over the homework and he listens to my progress and then I learn two or three new things, we go over them, then he sends me home with a customized homework list showing exactly what to practice and even emails files to me to help with practice. I highly recommend Josh at SGL if you are serious about learning to play the guitar.
