Guitar Lessons In Lafayette
Whether you’re just starting out, you know a few songs but have stopped improving, or you’ve played for years without getting better, we’ll show you how to play the music you want to play and feel confident playing it.
You’re Doing Everything You Were Told But Your Guitar Playing Still Doesn’t Sound Right
You feel like you've tried everything. You read the book cover to cover and still can't play the song. You watched the video and followed along, but you're not sure you're doing it right. You took lessons, and the teacher showed you what you asked for, but not what you needed to actually play it.
Along the way you picked up a few things. Some chords. A simple solo. Maybe a new party trick. But it doesn't feel like music. You don't really know what you're playing or how it fits into a song, and you still can't get through one from start to finish.
You learned something cool, but the original problem never got fixed.
So you look for the common denominator, and the only one left is you. Your hands. Your ear. Maybe you just don't have it.
The problem isn't that you can't do it. It's that you can't do it yet. The book is just a book. The video is just a video. And the teacher never started from where you actually were or what you were ready for.
Not sure where you fit? We work with both beginners and experienced players and meet you exactly where you are.
How This Is Different
Personalized Guidance From Day One
Every student starts with a free intro session where we look at your current playing and map out a clear path forward. You’ll know exactly what to work on and why, right from the start.
Real Progress, No Guesswork
Our lessons follow a clear, step-by-step structure so you always know what to practice and why. No more spinning your wheels. Everything is mapped out so you move forward with confidence.
Skills You Can Actually Use
The goal isn’t to just practice guitar. It’s to play it. Every lesson focuses on practical skills you can use right away, whether you’re playing for yourself, family, or working towards something bigger.
Real Students, Real Results
“When I first started I was all over the place and Josh knew exactly what I wanted which was to get some type of organization to my playing method and technique and he has just done a fabulous job of putting my skills and technique in the proper perspective as I progress in my guitar playing. I feel that Josh has tremendous skill set where he can pretty much position you at any point knowing your skill set and he is able to work with you and progress with you. If you are looking for an instructor that has patience knowledge and just has a relaxing atmosphere for you to learn I find that Josh provides all those factors.”

“I was really nervous to put Parker in something like this at such a young age. Josh assured me that he could work with Parker and throughout the months that he’s been here, if something doesn’t work I find that Josh has found different ways to approach teaching him… Since he started here with Josh he always liked to perform for the family but now that he can actually play songs and music and wants to play songs for everyone that comes to my house.”
Beth L.
“Lessons here have been really great because Josh has been able to point out a lot of inconsistencies with my playing technique cause I have been playing for more than 15 years. I had always taught myself before so I had a lot of issues with the nitty-gritty parts of the technique that was preventing me from getting better so that’s one of the biggest things that he’s definitely helped a lot with.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I come in for an intro session and decide this isn’t for me?
The intro session is completely free and there's no obligation. If you decide after coming in that it's not the right fit, you're free to walk away. No fees, no pressure.
Why aren’t your prices listed on the website?
Guitar lessons are an investment, and the quality of instruction varies a lot from one teacher to another. Rather than have you make a decision based purely on price, we'd rather you experience a session first. Pricing is something we'll go over with you in conversation.
I’ve never played before. Am I too old to start learning?
Not at all. Many of the students we work with are picking up the guitar later in life and they're some of our most motivated learners. If you're serious about learning, age is not a factor.
