Guitar Lessons
Guitar Shed specializes in teaching all levels of styles of guitar lessons. The guitar is our namesake for a reason! Our guitar teachers are well-versed in rock, jazz, funk, blues, soul, classical, and folk, in both acoustic and electric styles. Learn to shred your favorite iconic riffs, strum power chords, or play a gentle serenade. We typically begin guitar lessons at age seven and often encourage younger beginners to start with ukulele lessons as a foundation for guitar.

"Guitar shed has been an incredible influence and I know that I never would have progressed this much musically without them. My guitar instructor for the past couple years has been Sean McMorris and he is not only one best teachers I’ve ever had but one of the most talented musicians I’ve ever met. He always exceeds my expectations by challenging me with new music and playing styles, he goes the extra mile by providing personal videos explaining everything and just helping in general. I will always recommend guitar shed, it’s awesome!!"

"Both of my children have been taking lessons at Guitar Shed for years. My son takes guitar lessons from Paul, and my daughter takes ukulele lessons from Max. It has been a great place for them to learn to play! The teachers always have worked hard to engage my kids in their lessons, and they’ve managed to keep engaging them in virtual lessons throughout the pandemic!"

"My son has been taking piano and guitar lessons at Guitar Shed for 4 years now and he will soon be leaving for college. His teachers, Chris and Sean, have been instrumental in the artist he has become by teaching and encouraging him beyond what he knew his skills were. He is going on to study Audio Engineering and I have no doubts that his relationship with the Shed and his teachers have helped him to find a path that is truly his. Forever grateful to Parker and the Team. I need to get another child plugged in there soon!"

"I started taking guitar lessons with Guitar Shed a few weeks ago and have had a great experience. From ease of registering to regular, clear communications about upcoming lessons and other information, it’s been very professional. My teacher, Sean McMorris, has been great to work with, and I’m seeing improvement each week. My daughter started piano lessons with Guitar Shed too and has been enjoying it."

"I highly recommend Guitar Shed for anyone looking to learn to play an instrument or improve their skills. We have had excellent experiences with guitar lessons from Sean McMorris and drum lessons from Dylan Banks. Not only is their instruction top notch, but so is the entire school experience. From the very first impression, we saw that Guitar Shed was run by kind and friendly people with a passion for teaching music. When the pandemic hit and GS switched to virtual lessons, the school handled it with great professionalism and concern for students. We can’t wait until it’s finally over so we can once again enjoy GS’s fabulous student showcases live and in person."

"Guitar Shed is an amazing place to learn guitar. Brandon has been my instructor for over a year now, and my guitar playing ability has increased tenfold. Brandon’s talent and in-depth knowledge provide an excellent learning experience. As an adult student, I cannot recommend Guitar Shed and Brandon enough!"

I’ve been taking guitar lessons at Guitar Shed for over 6 months and couldn’t be happier with my progress! Sean McMorris is an absolutely terrific instructor, whose patient and clear teaching style has really helped me improve my playing. I would heartily recommend Guitar Shed to anyone looking to get started with guitar, or even for an intermediate player to take their playing to the next level.
