"I've played guitar in bands with Tyler off and on for the last 9 years. Tyler is a true musician from his head to his heart. The rest of us in the band looked to Tyler as a musical resource when we wrote songs, and he certainly provided. You can call him a guitar guru, a wizard, or a master - Tyler is all of it! I am honored to have called him a bandmate and a teacher." -Tim McKitterick
"I remember the first time I saw Tyler play guitar when he was with his band Wayward and all I could really think was this kid kills it on guitar! There's people who can play guitar and there's people who can really play and perform with their guitar. Tyler definitely has the passion, on and off stage and is someone who has definitely mastered his craft and you know it’s what makes him who he is." -Anthony Butterfield, Drummer of The Light Collection
"I would highly recommend Ty to anyone looking to learn guitar or just improve on the playing skills they already have. He's incredibly talented and a great teacher. My playing is constantly improving each week. I love that literally since day one of my lessons he's taught me to play some of my all-time favorite songs. I started out with no experience and I honestly think I'm going to be killing it in no time. Ty's probably the best mentor I could've asked for." -Elle
Ty’s instruction makes lessons a lot of fun, and I actually want to sit down and practice. We learn different things every few weeks so we're not doing the same thing over and over again which is what I look forward to. It gives me a stress outlet when working through the songs. - Tim Linke
Ty helps me learn new things on guitar and it’s fun, we play fast songs, and learn other songs that I like. - Jackson
7 Reasons Why Learning Guitar Just Works
There are countless reasons to start playing the guitar. From increasing the capacity of your memory to sharpening concentration. It also teaches you discipline and develops your social skills, and not to forget playing the guitar is one of the best hobbies you can possibly have. Why?
1. Improves Memory - Did you know that guitar lessons have many intellectual benefits? Research has shown that playing the guitar helps you remember information better than other who don't play music. They have also found that when you're playing the guitar, the parts of your brain that control memory, hearing, and the part that controls the hands all become more active. This leads to growth and a positive change in the architecture of the brain. Do I still need to tell you that your memory will improve and you'll be able to remember things more easily?
2. Sharpens Concentration -Playing the guitar, as well as the whole process of learning, both requires you to focus on several aspects simultaneously, such as timing, pitch, rhythm and fingering. In other words, guitar lessons will essentially practice your mental muscle of concentration, growing it as if you've done a thousand math problems every day (but with significantly less effort).
3. Enhances Creativity - Playing the guitar will most definitely inspire you to create your own music through improvisation and songwriting, which both make great use of creativity. Creating your own melodies is incredibly rewarding and fun. I always encourage my students to explore improvisation, and they often times surprise themselves with what they've just played. And once you discover just how fascinating improvisation really is, you'll keep creating more. It's pure magic!
4. Develop Social Skills - When you learn to play guitar, your sense of hearing improves dramatically, which allows you to pinpoint what other people are feeling just by the tone of their voice. This goes a long way towards developing social skills and becoming what I call a "social butterfly." Not to mention that when you start working with other musicians on a song, you can learn to appreciate the real value of teamwork!
5. Helps Relieve Stress -To me, there's no better way to relive stresses of the day than playing the guitar. As you progress learning to play the guitar yourself, you will be able to express your feelings more accurately and express your emotions through playing. I find this extremely therapeutic - and you'll see that a few minutes of play a day will keep you healthy and happy!
6. Increases Self-Confidence & Self-Esteem -When it comes to playing the guitar, you can set small goals that can give you a great sense of achievement. Every small goal you achieve during the learning process, such as playing through the end of a line of music, will make you feel better about yourself, satisfying your inner fulfillment and personal pleasure. This will reflect back on other areas of your life, and you will soon find yourself more confident in you own value and abilities!
7. It's Fun! -Ask any guitarist about one thing they like most about playing the guitar and they'll most likely tell you: it's fun! It makes you feel great, helps relive stress, boosts self esteem, improves social skills, allows you to meet new people, work on projects together, and even develop your style and brand.
The 5 Biggest Mistakes A Guitar Player Can Make
1. You Don't Have Any Goals - Most guitarists like playing just for fun, or as a hobby. But I can tell you that, if you don't have any goals, you'll most likely end up lost and confused. Do you want to become a famous guitarist, join a rock band or just find a form of self-expression? Perhaps you're more interested in becoming a songwriter. Define your goals and you'll achieve a lot more.
2. You Choose the Wrong Teacher -With literally thousands of guitar teachers, it's difficult to separate the good ones from bad ones. A good teacher should be able to guid you through the entire learning process, be willing to correct mistakes, and encourage you to use your creativity. If you want to take guitar lessons in Lincoln make sure you choose the right teacher. They should care about you and your goals and know the steps to get you there.
3. Your Technique is Improper -To be a successful guitarist, you need to develop the right technique of playing the guitar form the early stages of the learning process. It's common for guitarists to want to speed up the process, but you should always take the time to learn the basics and develop the right technique, or else you'll end up nowhere.
4. You Practice the Wrong Things -There is a lot to learn when it comes to playing the guitar, but if you want to be successful, you need to focus specifically on the right things. Developing the right technique and playing basic songs comes first, and they can go a long way towards helping you get where you want to be. Staying focused on what really matters will help you get where you want to be fast and with little effort.
5. You Neglect to Develop Your Ear -Aural techniques are critical to being a guitarist. They help you improvise, make up your own songs, and identify the mistakes that you're making so you can improve your skills. This was the case for me.
I could have removed many hours of frustration if I had started practicing ear training techniques in my beginning stages.

Student Testimonials
FAQ's
I love music, but it takes me longer to learn. What should I do?
Don't worry; many people face the same challenge, and it's completely manageable. I highly recommend enrolling in a few of my training sessions.
What are your available days and times for lessons?
I’m available from Sunday & Monday late afternoon to early evening.
Why should I take lessons when there's so much free information online?
While there's a lot of information online, much of it is inaccurate and unverified. Online tutorials often lead to bad habits due to their sporadic teaching methods. In contrast, enrolling in structured lessons helps you learn progressively. Additionally, you'll get to play with fellow musicians and gain techniques, habits, and ideas that you can only acquire through formal lessons.
What makes you a better choice than other guitar trainers?
Our studio offers more than just private guitar lessons; we provide a comprehensive training workshop with group learning sessions. Our focus is on geometric learning, allowing you to progress more quickly. Moreover, I am a member of an International Guitar Teacher Organization, where several guitar teachers share ideas and techniques to help students learn efficiently and effectively.
Do you teach how to read music notes?
Yes, I do teach note reading, but in a unique way compared to the traditional methods. While it's not crucial for beginners, I offer note reading instruction for those interested, similar to how it's taught in piano lessons.
Is practice a part of your training program?
Absolutely. I recommend practicing for 30 minutes every day, six days a week, to master the guitar. Practicing more is even better since it's the most effective way to learn. Consistent practice helps reinforce what you've learned during lessons.
Will my fingers hurt when I start learning?
Yes, your fingers may hurt for the first couple of weeks, but this will stop once you develop calluses. After that, your fingers will adapt to the guitar strings. If your fingers are particularly sensitive, there are other options, like using finger picks, but it's best to start with your bare fingers.
I don't have a guitar. Can I borrow one from you?
I do have training guitars available for sessions. However, I don't offer a rental program. I recommend purchasing your own guitar or finding a rental program at a local guitar shop to use while learning.
Can I keep my nails long while playing guitar?
No, you need to keep your nails short to play the guitar correctly. Long nails will get in the way and make it difficult to play. To avoid damaging your nails, it's best to keep them trimmed.
Do you offer lessons for children?
Yes, I offer guitar training sessions for children as young as 8 years old. For younger children, ukulele or piano lessons might be more suitable to start with.
How long does it typically take to learn to play the guitar?
It's hard to pinpoint exactly how long it will take to learn the guitar as it depends on several factors. However, the more you practice, the faster you'll learn new techniques.
