Introduction: GUITAR SHED is a modern music school founded by Atlanta native Parker Smith with the intent to offer a unique educational experience and an emphasis on lifelong learning.
I pride myself on teaching to the individual. No two students are alike and I am a firm believer that everyone can learn to play an instrument. I am an advocate of lifelong learning and I am constantly examining ways in which my teaching and musicianship can be improved. I have taken countless lessons from several teachers over the years and have had very formative experiences. With Guitar Shed, I strive to create a place where I would personally want to take lessons.

I took guitar lessons from Parker for over 4 years. The only reason that I stopped was because he moved away to complete his Masters degree at University of Texas. When I started my lessons with Parker I had not touched my guitar in over 30 years. Parker had me up and comfortable playing very quickly. Within about three months I had joined a rock band playing rhythm guitar and a year later I started my own band playing lead guitar. I could not have done this without Parker's amazing ability to help me learn new songs and playing techniques quickly. Parker has a great ear for music and can figure out songs/chords that others can't get. I cannot recommend Parker more strongly. A great musician, teacher, and a genuinely nice guy!

I had been playing guitar for 40 years and had acheived complete mediocrity when I met Parker through a friend. After six months of lessons, I learned more than I had in all the time I played.
He he really helped me open the fretboard and exposed me to both practical theory and some easy shortcuts. Best of all, he is a patient teacher and a cool cat. I always loved playing guitar, but I am having more fun than ever after my lessons with Parker.
If you are thinking of taking your playing to the next level, you can do no better than Parker.

"In observing Parker's lessons with my son, I consistently see the demonstration of intelligent teaching sequences as well as moments of intuition that result in engaging and productive lessons. I witness my own son making real music with a real musician at every lesson."
