Teacher expertise and credentials
Hi, I'm Liam. I'm a professional session, touring guitarist, and instructor with 20+ years of experience. I have been instructing students professionally since 1999. I teach private and group guitar classes, with the goal to make you a competent musician and a complete rockstar. Instead of teaching the mundane, 4-chord "usual" guitar lesson, I have a fresh and direct approach to get you playing quickly, effectively, and at an advanced level. I love the guitar and think that with the right approach, you will too!Reviews
