Private guitar lessons near Kirkwood for individual adults, children and teens, as well as paired lessons for spouses, siblings and parent/child!
Are you playing the same old stuff over and over? Want to know how to play interesting and tasty riffs of your own over any chord changes? I’m your guy.
Private guitar lessons near Kirkwood can help you figure out how to look at your playing in a new way! Let’s figure out what you want to play for yourself, without having to listen to the same music over and over again to learn it, or use somebody else’s tabs.
A lot of guitar players start out by wanting to play like one of their music heroes and there’s nothing wrong with that at all! And tons of players can cover iconic guitar riffs, which they learned by copying the masters. But the question is: how did those guys – the master guitar players- manage to invent such stunning music? I believe it’s because a guitarist who plays at that level understands the relationships of notes to one another well enough to make their OWN music… and I can show YOU how to do that too. It’s a different way of thinking about what you already love to do.
I’m available on most days from 9:30am to 8:00pm EST so I’m sure we can find a time that works for you. If you go up to my online scheduler at

My job is to help you figure out how to play what you feel and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do, given the opportunity.

If you are in the Kirkwood area and interested in learning to play guitar (or learning to play better) I’m here to help!
If you play a bit already, you’re probably interested in playing a particular song or songs. We’ll choose one and break it down into manageable sections, getting it one piece at a time and at a comfortable speed for you. I’ll help you figure out any parts you’re having trouble with and offer suggestions for exercises that will help you overcome that problem. Timing, strumming, arpeggios, playing melody over chord changes, playing lead as well as rhythm guitar are all subjects we can focus on. I will also often create a custom video with supporting materials for your song specifically. I also offer ukulele lessons and I have loaner guitars and ukuleles to beginning students for a nominal fee.
The in-person lessons will often include a video which addresses specific problems you might be having and the video on this page is an example of that. You can subscribe to my video channel by clicking the “paul elwood guitar coach” logo on the lower right corner of the video.
