Finally decided to learn to play the guitar or need a few lessons to get out of the rut you're in musically?

A few words from Pete:

"I've been teaching professionally for the last 20 years. My goal as a guitar teacher is to demystify the process of making music as much as I can by taking a common sense, yet individualized, approach to music with each of my students.

"I believe in the folk music process. I believe that music is a shared form of communication between people and that there are many ways to encourage and explain how to do it.

"A specific focus of my teaching is pre-bebop jazz and swing, as well as the Hot Club-style music of Django Reinhardt. I've spent years playing and studying this music, both here and abroad, and I love sharing what I've learned with my students."

A block of four weekly one hour lessons are $160 and there's a $20 hour-long introductory lesson available as well to give you to make sure it's a good fit. Pete's available for lessons Tuesday through Saturday (gigs permitting) at his studio in the ActivSpace Building on SE 8th and Main St.
