Hey everyone, Mike here. Thanks for checking out the site. My original idea was to create this to teach my nephew (who lives in another state) guitar, but realized that everyone could also benefit from my decades of playing and teaching experience. It's a great feeling to know that anyone can learn guitar from me and even when I'm too old to play, the information will still be available to make the world a more musical place.

The Art of Guitar is culmination of over 30 years of teaching. I've learned what works for most beginners and can cut right to what's important for solid and surprisingly fast results. Most can't believe they're playing songs in less than a few days. My method is a 50/50 approach where the student doesn't have to spend the first few months learning the technical (thinking) side only but gets a balance of that and actual playing. Also I found that most students learn best when they are in a one-on-one private lesson setting. We did our best to replicate that experience and you'll see and feel it when you take lessons from us. So while some are dabbling from site to site learning different approaches from different instructors, you will benefit from learning from the ground up from an experienced instructor who not only shows you how to play but the best order in which to learn the techniques and theory. For half the price of one actual private lesson per month, you can get all the benefits of learning guitar for yourself. "I'm looking forward to showing you the amazing world of playing guitar here at The Art of Guitar." Sincerely, Mike G

Mike has been teaching for over 30 years and currently has a Youtube channel with over 800,000 subscribers. He also plays live in select projects and is looking to dive deeper into his writing of both music and fiction.
