My spouse gifted me a couple of private lessons at Boulevard Music. I think she was tired of listening to me trying to teach myself. I had been playing for about 3 years and never had the desire to take lessons because I thought that anything I needed to learn I could learn for free online. I was wrong.

Here is a SHORT list of things you won't learn online.
Coming in late on chords.
Raising your fingers to high, slowing you down.
Not accenting the notes properly.
Moving too many fingers when changing chords.
Using alternative finger placement for quicker chord change.
INSTANT FEED BACK!
Position, timing, going too fast, going too slow, and .....

I have taken five lessons and have learned more in those five one hour lessons then I did in a year of online instruction. My instructor is Mr. Stan Ayeroff, our initial meeting on the phone was less then ten minutes, and yet when we met in person he came equipped with a montage of songs that were right in line with my interests. I told him I had never finger picked, but would love to learn, and he expertly took the reins. It's just five weeks later and I'm finger picking my way through Dylan's "Don't think Twice, It's Alright"

If you are looking to start playing, improve your playing, or are just looking for feedback, go to Boulevard Music, they have the talent you need.
