What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Hello ! My name is Art and I am confident I can help you reach your guitar and musical goals in a fun yet effective way. Learning an instrument is one of the most fulfilling activities a human being can engage in and I'd like to share my over 20+ years of experience with you ! I grew up in Texas and now live, teach and play in the Philly area. I am a graduate of the Musicians Institute's G.I.T. program and over the course of the last 20 years I've taught hundreds of students from total beginners to professionals in every possible teaching environment. I've taught and played everything from Funk to Finger style to Metal and everything in between. I've released several albums in different rock bands and I've toured all over America,13 European countries as well as Australia. I have a laid back teaching approach that focuses on rudiments like Technique, Ear Training and Theory but also we'll spend a lot of time dissecting riffs and songs from your favorite bands and artists

Review:

Music Instructor

I've worked with Art professionally in many settings and I think it would be foolish for anyone who has the opportunity to learn from him to pass it up. If you truly want to get to the next level without hating your teacher, Art is the man for you. Kenneth Everette Pritchard wrote on Thu, 25 May 2017

    Lauren in Texas says...

    Art is an awesome guitar teacher! I came to him with basically no knowledge of even how to play chords. He taught me so much, to where I'm now comfortable with performing at open mics. Art is an amazing guitar player, and he'll teach you what you need to know and more! Arthur Johnson Struck wrote on Thu, 13 Aug 2020

      Shannon in Connecticut says...

      "Art taught my daughter guitar for years. He was super responsible, knowledgeable and a fun teacher. Definitely recommend him!" Arthur Johnson Struck wrote on Thu, 13 Aug 2020

        "Art is a great instructor. I appreciate how his lessons combine playing songs that I'm excited to learn with exercises that help me improve my skills and abilities. Plus, he's just a cool rocker!" Arthur Johnson Struck wrote on Thu, 13 Aug 2020

          Andrew in Texas says...

          "Art was my guitar tutor for two years which greatly improved my playing and my technique. He is a great teacher, his teaching style is top notch, which produces realistic results quickly. Art has a great personality which greatly contributes towards a great teacher student experience!" Arthur Johnson Struck wrote on Thu, 13 Aug 2020
