I am a sixty year young man who took my first guitar lesson fifty years ago and has been in love with the instrument ever since. I have been taking weekly lessons from Tom for almost seven years and can't think of a lesson when I didn't go home excited to practice something new Tom had taught me. Tom is a phenomenal musician and composer with years of knowledge and the personality traits of patience, compassion and persistence that allow him to be a great teacher. While waiting for my lessons I have watched Tom with both young beginners and college music majors and he consistently helps us all move forward in both guitar technique and music understanding. If you are even hesitating about starting lessons with Tom, please write me at jack.thornton@sebagosystems.com

If you are serious about learning how to play guitar, look no further for an instructor. Tom has played professionally for over 25 years and can play virtually any style on the electric and the acoustic. He is also an expert at transcribing music and songwriting. His lessons emphasize mastering technique and building knowledge of the fretboard, which enhanced my playing ability significantly. Now I find it easy to pick up most songs, write, and improvise. Believe me when I say that you will amaze yourself while under Tom's instruction. He is patient, helpful, and works well with all age groups. No one should rely on the internet alone when they are trying to learn how to play an instrument, so contact Tom and talk to him about what he teaches and what else you might like to learn.

Tom transformed me from a mediocre guitarist into a musician. His approach to teaching shows that he more than cares about his students and helps them in more ways than just technical guitar ability. The more you put in to music lessons, the more you get out of them. Tom inspired me to put thought and effort into music and ended up teaching me so much. I'm now a student in the University of Miami's jazz program and Tom prepared me for much more than to play guitar in the program and pass out of music theory classes. With his help I developed a solid base of knowledge and skills and most importantly learned how to think about and create music. I now feel confident to be able to adapt to any musical setting and progress. For example, leading a band or a group of musicians in a jam session now seems a fun task rather than a daunting one. His resume and history of musical and teaching experience is extremely impressive but I actually had no idea about that until over a year or two in to our lessons. He is one of the most humble people I've met in music. There is so much to be learned just by talking to him and hearing his thoughts on music. There is no one I'd recommend more to teach guitar for anyone, absolute beginner through accomplished guitarist. For an hour each week I could tell the thing that mattered most to him was helping me grow. He's also an amazing guitarist.

. Very specific in his teaching and takes a very thorough approach to everything music. Taught me how to correct techniques, expand my styles of playing and to write everything down. Is genuinely interested in your musical well being unlike most teachers who are there for the check. Highly recommended!

If you want to play guitar, Tom Yoder is the best instructor you could wish for. He can teach you any style or anything you desire. He is a rock god & has won many awards for his acoustic work. He took me from zero to being able to play finger style, which I never thought I would be able to do. Like having Micheal Jordan for a basketball instructor. Just do it.
