We found Supertonic Guitar online and Xavier tried out a lesson and has been going ever since. I would definitely recommend Supertonic Guitar. Xavier has been really focused and has been learning and practicing and it’s been really encouraging throughout the process.
“Definitely check out Supertonic Guitar. Probably the best around honestly and I learned more than I ever could teaching myself. I just enjoy every lesson, every time I go. There’s always something new, something to improve upon, always pushing me to the limit and it’s great fun.”
“I started taking lessons because I felt like I was trapped in a box… Ever since I started taking lessons, I feel like everyday I’m learning things I never even thought I’d be able to do… I feel much more confident.”
“It’s been a really rewarding experience for me… You can start learning guitar on your own and it’s going to be a lot more difficult. You’re going to pick up a lot of bad habits or if you to start out of the gate learning the right way to do it, it saves you a lot of time coming down the road.
“Before, I thought of guitar lessons as very slowly learning, a lot of memorization without any practical use. My perception has changed since taking lessons here, because you’re learning as you’re doing. The thing I enjoy most about coming here about is the easiness that I feel. There’s no judgement as I’m playing.”
Ryan has been a really good guitar teacher because, instead of just giving you everything at once he will give you a lesson step by step so can understand every single part of it. It makes it less confusing for you and you can understand it all. It’s just easier and he makes it all good.
I tried to teach myself using mainly books and a little bit online. I became very discouraged and intimidated by the guitar. After, just one lesson, I felt a lot better about it. We feel comfortable, not afraid to make mistakes or ask questions. It is a really positive experience for both of us.
“The biggest thing that I’ve learned while taking lessons here is how to play cleanly. It’s given me a lot more room on stage to play what I actually want to play and also…I’ve been able to speak more as a musician and not as a guitarist that just only knows the same licks over and over again. It’s allowed me to be more creative in writing.”
“The best thing about guitar lessons here, is that not only are you really learning guitar, you’re learning guitar from someone who actually cares about whether you learn guitar or not.”
It really depends on the individual, their interest, goals and how quickly they want to make progress. You can progress in as little as 5-10 minutes of practice per day if you have the proper training from an experienced guitar teacher on a consistent basis. There is not a clear, direct answer for this.
No, definitely not! I get asked this question a lot from beginners who think they need to know how to play something before coming to see me. First of all, everyone is nervous at first, but this goes away quickly as it really is such a positive and encouraging environment. If you don’t know how to play anything yet, this is great news! Because you haven’t developed any bad habits, learned things out of order, gotten overwhelmed by different info telling you to do different things. We will help you build the musical foundation you need so that you can feel comfortable playing real music and you’ll be excited to see yourself progress.
Our kids guitar lessons programs start at age 8.
We work with adults of ALL ages. You’re never too old to learn something new 🙂
Guitar, bass, and ukulele. More instruments coming soon.
We have several different programs for you to choose from depending on what you’d like to do. No two students are the same so it helps to know more about you, your musical goals and interests, etc. Much like a doctor needs to assess their patients before providing a diagnosis in order to best treat them, a great guitar teacher should meet you first to asses your guitar playing so that he knows how to guide you in a clear musical direction.
We teach all skill levels. From total beginners who have never even touched a guitar before to advanced players who have 50+ years of experience.
We teach rock, pop, metal, blues, reggae, country, folk, and related styles. We don’t teach advanced classical, but will help you with it if it’s a secondary interest.
“I’m 14yrs old and have been taking lessons for a year and a half. My favorite thing about lessons was how in-depth it was and how patient the instructors are.”
I needed a couple of things one of which was direction and I’ve gotten a lot of direction. Another was encouragement and a sense of community and a third, above all else, was discipline and I’ve gotten all three in spades. It is a great return on investment for my time and my effort and my attention and I’ve made some friends that I wouldn’t have otherwise made.
“I’ve been playing for over a year and I’ve been very happy learning here. It’s been awesome! I’m having loads of fun in learning how to play. It’s exillerating, it’s awesome! It gives you a lot of confidence in your playing ability.”
I think it can be really daunting when you start thinking about all the things you have to learn, but really - it’s quite simple to get started and to make progress really fast. You can learn a song or two and really begin to create the knowledge of how the guitar works and put all the pieces together. It comes together really quickly and really fun, stress free environment.
I found myself struggling and becoming frustrated with not progressing. I would turn to the internet to try to find answers and wasn’t getting the results I want to see. I see far more progress being in class and having someone to ask questions to and get feedback from. My confidence is so much better and my skills are there and I can finally play complete songs for people and even have a choice of ones to play. I think that you’ll definitely find that it’s worth the time, the effort. I guarantee you it’s 100% worth it.
I’ve been playing guitar for 3 years and taking lessons for the past year. I’m formerly a saxophone player and a drummer. I really enjoyed how lessons were tailored to my particular interests. This is not pre-baked, cookie-cutter guitar lessons for students. Through guitar lessons I’ve really improved a lot in technique, understanding the fretboard, and other areas and have learned how to apply it to what I am playing.
Taking lessons here has been very motivational. You don’t just get the knowledge, you have someone cheering you on and getting you over the bumps. It’s the most helpful thing you could have, a trainer that motivates you to do it. I went from zero knowledge to playing a show in front of a big group of people. Huge confidence boost from then to now. I was the quiet person, like 'I don’t want to play too loud because you might hear that I don’t know how to play', and now I’m the noisy kid.
