1:1 Guitar Lessons- Sharing Theory, Improv. & technique with you!

There are 4 main types of issues guitarists face on their own, that I help solve:

  1. Not knowing what to practice, or what to study next.

  2. Not being able to hear chord changes / sound melodic on the guitar

  3. Being limited in technique & creativity.

  4. Not understanding the fundamentals of music theory / struggling to communicate artistic vision to others

In our lessons, I listen to your words & watch your playing to provide immediate action steps on how to correct and progress through any plateau.

With a caring mentor, watch yourself become 10x the guitarist you currently are. Remove any doubt of your capabilities and start playing better immediately!

Meet your Instructor: Forest Bailey

At 12 years old, there was an epiphany on my first day of playing guitar that this is exactly what I want to do with my life.  People who played the guitar seemed like wizards to me, I couldn’t yet understand how people created music out of thin air. This curious passion led to a path of seeking to truly understand the instrument and music. I was originally captivated by Classic Rock and Metal, but this quickly grew into a love of all styles of guitar playing. I had the good fortune of several years of studying with private instructors such as Mark Miner, as well as an emphasis on Jazz Performance with Joe Gilman at American River College in Sacramento CA.

As a player, I have focused most of my efforts on creating my own unique voice on the guitar. My first love was electric guitar, but I also found a compositional “voice” within the acoustic guitar, using modern fingerstyle techniques & alternate tunings. As a professional guitarist, I have also played hundreds of popular Rock, Country & Pop songs on the demanding Honkytonks of Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee. I bring the perspective of working guitarist and artist to help guide the next generation of guitarists. I believe that being an active participant in music is the most fun that can be had.
