Best 18 coaches for Guitar lessons near Keller, TX

Greetings! I'm Andrew, a guitarist and educator originally from New Orleans, LA. I began playing professionally in high school performing around New Orleans at many venues and festivals including Tipitina's, House of Blues, Snug Harbor, and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. After graduating from NOCCA in 2008, I studied Jazz Performance and Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music on a scholarship, graduating in 2012. Since then, I’ve performed internationally at major festivals and built a professional career in New Orleans, Boston, and New York City. Performances include Blue Note NYC, Billboard Tokyo, Blue Note Nagoya, Jazz Standard NYC, and festivals including Marciac, Panama, Monterey, Puerto Rico, Newport, and Park City Jazz Festivals to name a few. Over the years I’ve studied with world-class musicians such as guitarists Hank Mackie, Davy Mooney, Brian Seeger, Mick Goodrick, as well as other instrumentalists such as pianists Danilo Pérez and Michael Pellera, saxophonists Joe Lovano, David Liebman, drummer Terri Lyne Carrington and more. I draw influence from artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan to Pat Metheny, John Scofield, Charlie Hunter, Toninho Horta, and countless others. As an instructor, I began teaching other kids in my hometown and high school when I was 15 and I never stopped. I work with guitarists at every level—from beginners learning fundamentals to advanced players refining their artistry. My specialties include jazz, blues, rock, funk, R&B, folk, country, and Latin styles, as well as improvisation, chord melody, 7-string jazz guitar, music theory, and recording. My approach balances technical discipline with musical creativity, helping students develop not just skills, but a deeper understanding of the guitar and music as a whole. Whether you're a beginner picking up the guitar for the first time, an intermediate player looking to understand what's going on under the hood with music, or an advanced player looking to refine your skills, gain a new perspective, or prepare for auditions for schools such as Berklee, New England Conservatory, or Juilliard, I look forward to hearing from you!

"I've been wanting to pick up the guitar again for a while, and while I've had a few instructors in the past, I've never really quite stuck with the hobby. I was really impressed with Andrew's attention to detail and how patient he was. I could tell right off the bat that he's a natural teacher because we went over the basics until I was comfortable, such as the parts of the instrument, how to hold and use a pick, and tuning. He was very clear, articulate, and super easy to talk to. I would highly recommend Andrew if you're starting out, need a refresher, or just want top-quality instruction.

"Hey, so far I’d say the lesson on Vultures by John Mayer has been quite helpful, especially since I’m almost done with the song. Still, I think finishing the song properly would make a big difference in my progress. Though I appreciate how Leandroonline guides me through the lesson, I’d like a bit more focus on wrapping up that tune. Curious to see how the final part will turn out, I might just book another lesson soon.

"Mark teaches me how to play my favorite country tunes by people like Luke Combs, Tyler Hubbard and Drew Green. He just listens to the song, writes some chords down and teshows what new things I need to learn, then brings the chords with words in next week. He helps me learn strumming patterns and simplifies any chords or rythms that are too hard or frustrating.
