Guitar Lessons

Learning a musical instrument fosters creativity, teaches effective communication skills and encourages the abiding values of self-discipline, self-discovery and self-expression.  We offer private, one-on-one lessons tailored to your style and ability.

Shine Beck 

I have played electric guitar for over 48 years. My experiences include countless hours perfecting my style, live performances, and recording. I specialize in the genres of blues and classic rock, with rhythm patterns and soloing as a focus. I have a unique approach to teaching guitar. Although I do not teach theory or music reading, I will include certain theory references at times. I focus on tone, attack, and feel. Lessons are available 9-12 am, Mon – Fri. I can make a late evening time slot on occasion. My standard rate is $35/half hour, and I give discounts for longer lessons, as well as repeated lessons.
