Learn Guitar Through Real Songs, Not Just Exercises. Guitar Lessons for Beginners, Songwriters, and Performers

Hi, I'm Spencer, a singer-songwriter and guitarist with over 10 years of experience performing, writing, and recording original music. My music has been released on major streaming platforms, and I have experience in a variety of styles including folk, acoustic, rock, hip-hop, and experimental. I believe learning guitar should be enjoyable, practical, and tailored to each student's goals. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time, looking to play your favorite songs, improve your singing and accompaniment skills, or begin writing your own music, I can help you build confidence and develop the skills you need. My Teaching Style My lessons focus on helping students play real music as quickly as possible while building a solid foundation in technique and musicianship. I adapt lessons to each student's interests and learning pace, combining practical song learning with essential skills such as chords, strumming patterns, rhythm, ear training, and music theory. For beginners, I emphasize simple, achievable progress that keeps learning fun and motivating. For more experienced players, I can help with songwriting, fingerpicking, lead guitar, music theory, performance preparation, and developing a personal playing style. My goal is to create a relaxed and encouraging learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing as musicians.
