About
Thank you for your interest in playing the guitar. First, let me say that no one learns to play the guitar with a few easy lessons. No one offers that because it is not possible. If the cost of lessons will prohibit you from taking them, you should not involve yourself in the first place. Ok, so let's assume that you can afford lessons, and are serious about taking them. Some folks are still uncertain if this is something they want to invest their time and money on. I have plenty of openings, and to encourage you to sign on to this endeavor, I am offering an unprecedented program to encourage you to find out where you fit in the scheme of things. For beginners, I am offering 5 weeks of introductory classes for a flat fee of $100. Nobody else does that. If you decide to continue classes, I will teach you to read music for guitar for $25 an hour. No one else is doing that either. Advanced classes (major and minor scales and pentatonic major and minor scales, as well as chord progressions, blues, rock and country, playing lead guitar - songs/jam) are $30 an hour (still cheaper than most, and first class, first rate lessons). I am a professional musician/teacher with over 50 years to my credit. I will not only amaze you, but I will teach you to amaze yourself. Attendance on a weekly basis is mandatory, and so is practicing at home. My studio is small, intimate and casual, fully equipped with everything you need to accomplish your goals.

I contacted Georgie for guitar lessons. I was a beginner at the time with absolutely no experience with guitar. Georgie has been fantastic with me and my new music journey. He is super patient and he really makes class fun. Not to mention he is a total bad to the bone guitarist! Definitely worth looking into, best price and experience in Fort Worth!

Christine has been taking classes with me for some time. She is very smart and committed to mastering her instrument. I couldn't have asked for a better student. Needless to say, she has entered the realm of advanced and is starting on the path to playing lead guitar. It is a pleasure to work with her in the studio. :)

I've been taking lessons with George for 5-6 weeks now. Being nearly 30 years old and struggling with trying to learn guitar via tabs, YouTube, and one dismal formal instructor I decided to give Eclipse of Austin a shot. I realized if I really wanted to learn guitar I needed solid structure and a teacher that would keep me accountable. I couldn't be happier with my lessons so far. I'm learning to read music (finally), am picking my strings with far greater accuracy, and really starting to understand the beginning stages of musical theory. It hasn't been easy. I would say that learning guitar (correctly) is alot like writing a book with a pen you've never used in a language you can't speak or read. Your fingers are fumbling all over the neck, you'll pick the wrong strings, you'll start the measure over for what seems like the hundredth time. But when I leave for the day I can't wipe this stupid grin off my face. George is very patient even on your worst days and gives you all the right tools to succeed. On the same hand he expects you to put legitimate time in practicing. I will say from experience that you simply cannot improve unless you practice on your own. George is going to give you his all and will hold you to the same standard. It's one thing to be a good guitar teacher, but George is truly passionate about music. I've found we enjoy alot of the same artists like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and Pink Floyd. If you're lucky he'll start singing and playing while you're tuning your guitar or taking a breather. Overall I'm completely satisfied with my experience at Eclipse. It is EASILY the best investment I've ever made in myself...for myself. I plan on continuing lessons with George for as long as he'll have me!

I am a TCU student and I started lessons the beginning of the semester and I plan to return after studying abroad. His studio is easy to get to, close to campus, and provided some much needed study breaks. The price is also really affordable. I had no experience with guitar starting off and I now feel like I have the tools to do a bunch of different things on guitar. He is super patient and willing to work with all ability levels! I learned a lot more than I thought I would and he is great at teaching me what I wanted to learn and finding songs that interested me. He knows literally everything about guitar and is a wonderful teacher.

George is beyond patient. He teaches the classical and fundamental rules of music and guitar. George can span the spectrum of acoustic, bass and 12 string - impressive. He is well versed in all guitar philosophy and, in my opinion, can play and teach anything. I feel lucky to have him as a teacher.

Thank you Teel for this wonderful review. I will try very hard to live up to it! :)

George is a great guy, and and a very helpful teacher. I enlisted his help to improve my lead guitar abilities, and improvement was almost immediate. His home studio is cozy and not overpriced like the music stores are, you get your money's worth.
Eclipse of Austin Guitar Lesson Studio's reply
Thank you Steve. Let me explain that Steve is already a competent guitar player, he is just tired of playing the same licks that he learned from listening to other guitar players. He wanted to expand his ability to improvise. That is what we teach here at the guitar lesson studio. How to be creative and to improvise on lead work. Join us and we can teach you too! :)
