Acoustic Guitar instructors available for private lessons

Mike Abbott

I have been a professional guitarist and instructor for twenty years. I have performed with The Rolling Stone’s horn section, Sammy Davis Jr., Burt Bacharach, Paul Schaffer, Joey Calderazzo, among others. I have a firm grasp of the unique needs which beginner, intermediate, and advanced students possess. I believe that a teacher‘s influence can have tremendous impact on the student, both professionally and personally.

I teach in Englewood at Broadway Music School (www.broadwaymusicschool.com) or in Littleton at my home studio. I teach all ages…jazz, blues, rock, folk, funk, theory, and songwriting. You may also check out my web site at www.accessrock.com

Larry Sandberg

Mostly folk, blues, americana music. Song-based approach based on accompanying songs. Like students to know some theory and note reading. Avoid rote and tablature as much as possible, and encourage creativity. Work on fingering, and on learning concepts and explanations behind things. The old saying: If you give people a fish, you make them dependent; if you teach them to fish, you make them independent. Author of several guitar books and of instructional articles for Acoustic Guitar magazine, teach part-time at Swallow Hill and UCD, decades of experience.

I use a variety of teaching materials custom selected for each student based on their needs/interests. I emphasize ear training, and utilize a “zen” approach to teaching where the student is allowed to discover themselves on their instrument.
