Blues is the style of widely acclaimed performers such as Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, and similar. Why learn Blues? Blues is the foundational style of our popular music in Western culture. It is a relatively simple style and will thus deliver you satisfying playing skills more quickly than the typical more generalized approach. Blues encompasses the same basic level skills as other pick styles, while bringing you to the point of making enjoyable music relatively quickly. From there it is a short jump to making music in other popular styles you enjoy as well. The most appealing aspect of playing the Blues is this - it is just plain fun!

"As a parent, I couldn’t be happier with the progress that Abby’s made with Chad. He isn’t too easy, has high expectations and continues to push in a positive away. I feel like guitar has given Abby an identity and boosted her self confidence. Coincidence or not, her grades have improved greatly since she started playing. I definitely feel like guitar is a gift that will last her a lifetime." - John Poore, Simpsonville
"Our teenage son has been taking lessons with Chad for nearly six months. We have been very pleased with Chad's approach. Sometimes it can be difficult to keep a 13 year old focused, but Chad has developed a very good rapport with him. I can honestly say that our son looks forward to his weekly lessons."

Learning to play the guitar is a process consisting of many small steps. It is similar to building a wall - you lay one brick at a time. Every day that goes by that you do not take action toward your goal, you have lost an opportunity to "lay a brick", and you can't get it back. Don't sabotage yourself (or your child) by letting day after day, week after week slip away without doing something toward reaching your goal! I'll provide the "bricks" and walk you through every detail of assembling the "wall". But I do need for you to do your part - show up! Take the next step now - get in touch here and let's talk about your future as a Blues Guitarist!
