Mehmet O. says, "I’ve been studying classical guitar with James for some time now, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. I’m 68 and play at an intermediate level, and James has been helping me build a meaningful and challenging repertoire that includes both intermediate and more difficult pieces. What stands out most is how he’s opened my eyes to the interpretive side of classical guitar—how great players bring their own voice to the music. For the first time, I feel empowered to explore my own musical expression, not just play the notes on the page. James is deeply knowledgeable about the guitar and its literature, highly professional, and an all-around kind and supportive teacher. I don’t have much experience playing in front of others, but he creates a comfortable, encouraging environment that really puts me at ease. I highly recommend him to any guitarist looking to grow—not just in skill, but in confidence and artistic identity. Five stars, without a doubt."See more

Anna B. says, "I have been taking lessons from Payton for a few months now and I've had a great experience with him as my guitar teacher. I'm a complete beginner, but he's been super easy to learn from and always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and in different ways so you could find what works best for you. He does a great job balancing teaching the basics and techniques while also making time to work on what you want to learn and play. I've improved a lot with his lessons, way more than I would have on my own. I would recommend him if you are looking to learn or improve your skills, especially if you are a beginner, because he can guide you and correct your technique so you don't form bad habits early on. He's super supportive and encourages you to push yourself. At my first lesson I didn't have picks yet so he gave me two to keep which was really kind. I've really enjoyed learning from Payton and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive guitar instructor."See more

Marija L. says, "Sean is an excellent guitar teacher, in a private lesson and in a group setting. I have had the pleasure of knowing Sean for two years now, since he was hired as the group guitar teacher for the children’s music program I lead. It was obvious right away that he would be the perfect fit. Students like and can relate to him, he is friendly and comes up with the best and most inspiring music arrangements for the students that they enjoy playing. He meets every student where they are at the moment musically and builds on it, thoughtfully and methodically. I have also had the pleasure of observing Sean teach private lessons, as my son’s guitar teacher. I saw huge improvements in my son’s confidence and musicality right away. I highly recommend Sean as the teacher, He cares deeply and puts his whole heart and time into making sure his students learn and have fun doing it."See more

Reviews for Durham electric guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From Matt M.

Dan is teaching my son to play the electric guitar. He is a patient, thoughtful, dedicated, and talented instructor. He provided a great deal of guidance and advice even before our first lesson, it helped my son get off on the right foot, and the experience has been nothing short of stellar since those first discussions with him. It’s obvious that Dan is passionate about two things, 1) making music and 2) teaching and sharing how that is done. It comes through genuine and clear in every lesson and has translated to my son’s interest and dedication to practicing the craft. I feel very lucky to have found Dan, and would wager you will few the same if you contact for his services.
