PrivateGuitar - Private Guitar Lessons - Keller - Fort Worth

If you are looking for a guitar teacher that is passionate about teaching and extremely knowledgeable, then look no further! Derek is both. Lessons are enjoyable and I have learned so much in a short amount of time. I would highly recommend!

Derek is an excellent guitar teacher. He has a passion for guitar and a passion for teaching and helping others find joy in playing too. He is kind, patient, and encouraging but also sets good expectations for his students. Our son and daughter, 13 and 11, started lessons with Derek 7 weeks ago. We make sure they practice daily and Derek takes care of the rest. We are thrilled with how quickly they are learning and how good they sound. They each learned a full song by the end of 5 or 6 weeks. As a parent, it's awesome to watch your children gain confidence as they see expert teaching and practice produce rewarding results. We are grateful to have found Derek!

Derek is a fantastic instructor. My son (9) has been going for about 5 months and his playing has improved tremendously. The lessons are always fun and we learn a lot besides just how to play songs. We also learn about gear, amps, different musical styles, and even music history. Derek plays a lot of different styles, but we especially like rock music. He takes the time to help us play the songs exactly like the recordings, and shows us how to add our own flair if we want. If you're serious about growing as a guitar player I definitely recommend checking him out.

I have been taking lessons from Derek for two years and from the very first lesson I found that he almost instantly improved my musicianship. Derek is very patient and encouraging as a teacher and able to give you confidence in your playing. Not only is his own playing inspiring, but I find myself inspired by his playing as well. If you are serious about learning guitar or building on your existing experience, Derek is your guy.

Derek is an excellent teacher and musician. He's knowledgeable in all styles of music and guitar techniques. He can teach you anything you want to learn. Derek is also very good at breaking down complex musical theory concepts so the student can make connections and learn. I finally understand modes! He has a very nice, we'll equipped home studio and will make you feel welcome. I took lessons from Derek for more than a year and plan to return to continue studying with him one day.
