I've been going to Brian for 3 years for beginning guitar instruction. His patience and enthusiasm have been the reasons I've stuck with it. He has taught me to enjoy the process and the fun of learning guitar. My years as a Navy instructor pilot enable me to recognize someone who has the gift of instruction. Brian is blessed with this in so many ways. If you're considering picking up a guitar, do yourself a favor and take some lessons with this guy! He is worth every penny and will make it more fun and enjoyable along the way! read more

Brian is an outstanding guitar instructor. My teenage daughter wanted to learn to play the electric guitar a few months ago and we found Brian who also performs live in Denver at various events. We chose Brian for his effortless teaching style, making learning so fun that one can't help but develop, grow and advance in playing the guitar. My daughter is now playing full songs of all her favorite bands and my husband and I are blown away at how fast she is learning to play. Brian is truly one of the best guitar instructors with outstanding results! I highly recommend him. read more

Brian is a great guy that will make anyone feel comfortable learning a new instrument or even just picking one back up. He's in several bands and we have even been able to take the kids to see him play in action. You can't go wrong with choosing Brian! read more

Guitar Instruction By Brian - Visiting Brian with one of his bands! - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

Our 9 yr. old Grandson began his first guitar lesson with Brian a year ago. Within six lessons Brian had taught him the open primary position and every note!! Our Grandson has learned many chords/rests/repeats and rhythm. He learns more every week! Brian's talent for teaching young people is certainly a gift and we very fortunate to have him instructing our Grandchild! His studio is comfortable and we enjoy chatting with other students waiting for their lessons. Brian is a very kind, considerate, interesting and patient teacher! He lets his students chose music that they are interested in which keeps them engaged. Our Grandson thinks Brian is the bomb!! We highly recommend him! Wanda & Tom read more

Brian is an amazing instructor and musician. Since taking private lessons with him my knowledge and skill on the guitar has been steadily expanding. As a very experienced musician myself, he provides me with so many different approaches to playing that it sparks my love and interest for the guitar and all things music, which is something that I have never gotten from any other teacher. He teaches from several aspects such as technical, theoretical, and performance so you can walk away from the lesson with a better understanding on how everything comes together. He's definitely an invaluable resource to anyone looking to learn or improve their playing. read more

Brian is incredible and his love for guitar has changed my son Brayden's life for the better! Brian's lessons are crisp and he always keeps Brayden engaged and looking forward to his lesson every week. Brian often displays his elite guitar skill to Brayden during lessons to give him a goal to achieve. Brian also has been very patient and low pressure. He doesnt make kids feel like they HAVE to play guitar but inspires them to WANT to play and love guitar. Additionally, Brian has taken his own time to shop for guitars and equipment for Brayden. He's walked Brayden through the experience and finding the right instrument for him. That was an amazing experience as well. I highly recommend Brian as a guitar teacher and mentor. His kindness and humility are a gift to this world. read more

Great for kids too! Mr. Brian has been giving our 10-year-old guitar lessons for approximately 8 months. Throughout the months we have watched our son go from a blank slate to reading music and loving every minute. Brian allows our son to bring in music that he loves and adapts it to his level. By engaging our son where he is passionate, even the challenging times are fun and exciting for him. Brian's waiting room has students who have been with him for years- a testament to his engagement and ability. If you're looking for a great guitar teacher who adapts to independent learning, then Brian is the guy. read more

When I came to Denver in 1985, I met Brian just shortly after settling in. I played a little bit of guitar back then (just mainly easy rock power chords). I knew bits and pieces of about 500 songs but couldn't play more than a handful of songs all the way through.. Long before he became the great instructor that he is today, He was light years ahead of me when it came to playing guitar... As a friend , He was very helpful, skilled, passionate and blatantly honest (we all need that sometimes). He taught me how to play 'scorpions - no one like you' (the rhythm part) so he could solo over it and we could make music together! What a great song and what a great experience that was! He also taught me the solo parts to Aerosmith 'dream on' shortly after that. I still play those licks today (They are timeless!) I lost touch with Brian for about 20 years due to my own life circumstances and family reasons. As soon as I was back in town and within kicking distance , I looked him up right away on the internet because it was so long since we last spoke and he was always a true friend! Once I realized how much he had achieved since our time apart, I was very amazed! Always striving for the best and never settling for less! It definitely shows! We talked for awhile and reminisced about the good old times (as we all do) etc... Immediately after, I asked Brian ... " Hey! Can you help me to learn how to play solos?" I'm fairly decent @ playing rhythm (chords) but I really need to learn how to solo.. Brian said, "Sure! Let's get you into my studio and I will evaluate your level of playing and create a custom lesson plan based on your current abilities" I said "Great! Where do I start? He said, "Just get in the car, bring your guitar and drive over .. " I've got you covered on this! I was very excited! So, I wen't over about a year ago and he started helping me become a better musician. He has since patched quite a few holes in my education ... It takes a brilliant mind and a great teacher to look at something or someone so complex and break it down to a level we all can understand! I have made leaps and bounds of progress due to Brian's teachings. He is dragging me kicking and screaming every step of the way from the 6th grade level to the college level and I thank him for it! Great teachers never let their students slack/fail , if they are to become great as well! Thank you Brian from the bottom of my heart dude! A great teacher and a great friend!!! :) Leaving now for guitar class... Rich :) read more

If you have a song you want to learn, chords you want to learn... anything that requires the use of a guitar... You can't beat Brian. I came to him in my 50's dyslexic and discouraged for years. I was given a $50 guitar and he taught me how to play it. I write songs now and even if it's just for me... I feel like a musician. I have performed before large crowds at Comic-Cons and have received rave reviews. If you have the desire- Brian can help you light the fire. From simple to complex- he breaks it down. The rest is up to you! read more

I started lessons once a week with Brian about one year ago, I'm 50 and had not played an instrument since 8th grade so I was pretty much starting from nothing. I'm really pleased with my progress and have reached a point where it has really become a lot of fun playing songs that I love. Brian's bio is spot on, he really allowed me to take my practice in a direction that was both fun and educational. I'm hooked and can easily see myself playing guitar for the rest of my life, there is so much to learn and the live instruction is super helpful in staying accountable and having an experienced ear to help improve. Definitely a worthwhile investment. read more

My wife and I take lessons with Brian on a regular basis. I have over 10 years of experience with the guitar and my wife was a complete beginner, but Brian was able to cater lessons to fit both of our skill levels. He is very knowledgeable about everything relating to guitar, performing and theory. He has been very flexible with our busy adult lives, and would highly recommend him to anyone! read more
