Guitar Lessons (Ages 7+)
Guitar Shed specializes in teaching all levels of styles of guitar lessons. The guitar is our namesake for a reason! Our guitar teachers are well-versed in rock, jazz, funk, blues, soul, classical, and folk, in both acoustic and electric styles. Learn to shred your favorite iconic riffs, strum power chords, or play a gentle serenade. We typically begin guitar lessons at age seven and often encourage younger beginners to start with ukulele lessons as a foundation for guitar.

Testimonials
All of the Guitar Shed instructors I’ve met are amazingly talented musicians. Not only that, they know how to pass that creativity on to their students. Guitar Shed creates a relaxing environment to learn in, and it’s also an inviting place to just sit and listen to music while waiting for a student’s lesson to complete. -Johnny
Great spot for lessons, even for adults! I’ve been playing drums for some time, but struggle to grow without structure. Also, I wanted to try my hand at bass. Coming here every week is a highlight – I continue to grow and learn in both and am amazed by the instructors! -Camden
My daughter has been taking voice lessons with Nichelle this past year and it has been a tremendous experience. On top of Nichelle’s wonderful instruction, Guitar Shed offers many student performance opportunities in a supportive environment, which has improved my daughter’s confidence levels. And I can’t say enough great things about Nichelle; she makes her lessons fun and has really enhanced my daughter’s love of music and singing. -Jennifer
My son had a wonderful experience at Guitar Shed. He received extraordinary one-on-one drum lessons, attended the Camp Woodshed summer camp, participated in the teen band program, and performed at recitals. We are transplants to Atlanta and after our first year here, I commented one day that I wasn’t sure moving to Atlanta was all that I’d hoped it would be. My son responded, “But if we never moved to Atlanta, I would have never experienced Guitar Shed.” That, I think, speaks volumes. My son is now at Interlochen Arts Academy studying music production and engineering. He is also a member of a jazz combo at Interlochen and prepared for his audition for the same at Guitar Shed. Extremely grateful for all! -Cheryl
I started taking guitar lessons with Guitar Shed a few weeks ago and have had a great experience. From ease of registering to regular, clear communications about upcoming lessons and other information, it’s been very professional. My teacher, Sean McMorris, has been great to work with, and I’m seeing improvement each week. My daughter started piano lessons with Guitar Shed too and has been enjoying it. -Matt
