Learning how to play the guitar doesn't have to be painful and here is why...
If you answered "Yes" to any of the questions above, you are not alone... and you are at the right place to find solutions to your problems.
We have certainly felt this way! This is perfectly normal and many of our students have also expressed these exact fears to us. Getting to a level of confidence on the guitar can be extremely frustrating, no matter what your goal is or your experience level.
In our experience, we have found that working with a dedicated and patient master guitar instructor is the most effective solution to overcoming obstacles.
What has been holding you back from reaching your goals?
Many of us have certain fears or beliefs that hold us back from achieving our goals. Outside of those fears, it's also easy to get lost in the sea of information available out there!
Some of the common methods for learning how to play the guitar come from studying books, DVDs, Youtube, and online crash courses. The issue with these methods is that they primarily teach in a content driven, rather than application based fashion. These methods of instruction are also more supplemental rather than foundational. This can result in a giant waste of time and money because you are constantly being overwhelmed by new information before you've even effectively learned to apply the specific concepts you need. Depending on what your personal goals and experience level are, the path to success becomes clearer and is achieved much faster when working with an instructor who charts out the path for you, coaches you, and keeps you motivated and accountable along the journey.

Is any of this sounding familiar to you?
Hi, our names are Samantha Russell and Amber Russell and we are professional guitar instructors, coaches and mentors for serious guitar and electric bass students in Portland, OR! We have taught hundreds of students to overcome their fears and achieve their goals rapidly. We continuously strive to be the best that we can be so that we can provide real value for our students... Not only for their musical goals but for their lives as well. We are fully committed to making every student's experience with the guitar empowering and fun, and to bring them from ordinary people to extraordinary musicians - fast!
During our own guitar-playing journeys, Amber and I had many similar experiences to our guitar students. We experienced all of the same frustrations and became confused and overwhelmed constantly by the sheer amount of information available. Neither of us had a guitar teacher who sat us down and asked us about our goals, laid out a plan, and seriously tracked our progress. The classes were always focused on information rather than application and training. Rather than continuing that trend of instruction, we committed to doing things differently.
Our personal mission is to create a holistic, encouraging, and efficient environment to inspire our students to become the best musicians they can be. We ensure that every student is given the skill sets necessary to take all of the concepts they are learning to turn them into something musical, exciting, and personal to them.
