About the tutor

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player looking to refine your skills, I am here to help you achieve your musical goals! I'm Derek Roland. I've been teaching others guitar for over 20 years; and have been playing myself for 27 years. This is a fantastic opportunity for you to be guided by a player who has taught literally thousands over the years; and has lived and taught internationally. Over a span of time, I developed a formula for better results when practicing- one to maximize time, two to maximize outcomes of better playing. You may have gotten overwhelmed in the information age, or plateaued, or maybe get confused trying to figure out how things work together on guitar- but it doesn’t have to be that way. You’ve come to the right place to make all those connections second nature in your playing. I went to school for Guitar in Jazz Guitar Studies and started instructing professionally while going to college. On the side, I write guitar E Books, create songs and instructional material. My teaching style is motivational, interactive, and focused on problem-solving within the realm of music.
