Online Guitar Lessons for Seniors

I’m really blessed to be able to share my love for guitar with people around the country via internet.
For some guitar students, online lessons are a very good fit and for some senior guitar students, it is an excellent fit.

If you can use Skype or Zoom, you can take online guitar lessons. All you really need is a guitar, a computer or laptop with an internet connection and Skype (or one of the many alternatives), a quiet place to work and the willingness to try something new. Lessons are at your own pace, meaning we go as fast or as slow as you want! e do have to set goals though,  so you’ll let me know what yours are, and what your expectations are.

Online guitar lessons are a lot of fun and they’re also good for your head! A recent study, noted here had these results:

“At the end of three months, Park and colleagues found that the adults who were productively engaged in learning new skills showed improvements in memory compared to those who engaged in social activities or non-demanding mental activities at home.”

So get a guitar and let’s get started!

A great old-time bluegrass tune. Pure and simple. I’ve included a lyric and chord sheet you’ll find helpful if you want to play the tune finger-style

There’s a page on my website with links to other finger picking examples and tutorials as well:
