Why Private Instruction

You're Not Looking For More Guitar Information.

You can find thousands of guitar videos online.

But a video can't listen to you play. It can't tell you why something isn't working. And it can't adjust the lesson around what you need next.

That's what a teacher does.

The Promise

Your Guitar. Your Goals. Your Path.

No two students come to guitar with exactly the same goals.

Maybe you've never played before. Maybe you played years ago and want to get back into it. Maybe you know your way around the instrument but feel stuck and don't know what to work on next.

Your lessons shouldn't be built around where a generic course thinks you should be.

Scott works with you one-on-one to understand where you are, identify where you want to go, and help you build the path between the two.
