Beginner Guitar Lessons for Adults in Brooklyn
Start Where You Are — No Experience Required
If you’ve never played guitar before — or tried in the past and felt overwhelmed — you’re not alone.
Many adult beginners tell me they’ve:
- watched a lot of videos but still felt confused
- struggled to make chords sound clean
- felt unsure whether they were “doing it right”
- wondered if they were starting too late
Here’s the truth:
You don’t need talent. You need guidance that actually listens to you.
Why Adult Beginners Learn Differently
Adults learn guitar differently than kids — and differently than YouTube expects.
You bring:
- a developed ear
- personal taste in music
- real expectations
- limited time
My job is to respect all of that — and help you build real skills without overwhelm or guesswork.
What You’ll Learn as a Beginner
Beginner lessons focus on making music right away — not endless drills.
You’ll learn how to:
- play songs you actually enjoy
- use open chords, power chords, and (when you’re ready) bar chords
- read tablature and follow song charts
- strum with good timing and feel
- find notes on the fretboard
- tune your guitar confidently
- play with other musicians
Most importantly, you’ll learn how to practice without frustration.
A Calm, Encouraging Learning Environment
There’s no pressure to “keep up.”
No judgment.
No rushing.

Many beginners are surprised how quickly progress happens once someone is actually listening to how they play.
Perfect If You:
- are brand new to guitar
