Scott called me back within 45 minutes. He is exactly the kind of instructor I was looking for, for my brother’s guitar lessons….However, he is located in South Carolina and my brother is located in Washington State. Unfortunately, I had to turn Scott down due to no fault of his own. I need a guitar instructor who can meet with my brother in-person rather than online, to accommodate his learning disability. I am highly impressed by Scott’s candor and quick responsiveness to my inquiry.

I’ve been taking electric guitar lessons with Mr. Kesler for almost 4 years now.

I started taking
lessons in South Carolina and would go to his house weekly. When I moved to Texas I continued doing virtual lessons via zoom, and that has been just as good as in person.

Over the years I have watched myself grow as a guitarists thanks to Mr. Kesler. He is an extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and caring
guitar teacher. He provides you with the material you need to become a better guitarist. He listens to your questions and concerns and will address them and work with you until you are confident and understand it. He genuinely wants to see you succeed as much as you want to see yourself succeed.

Almost 4 years later and I’m doing things with a
guitar I would’ve never thought I could, all thanks to Mr. Kesler. If you’re on the fence look no further than here!

Scott has been amazing. I started with him over a year ago and in that time I have advanced further than I ever could’ve imagined. If you are looking to learn guitar I can’t recommend him more. He has taught me not only songs but also the intricacies that have helped me to be able to jam with anyone!
