What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

Jarett has offered theory-based instruction on several instruments including mandolin, guitar, fiddle, and ukulele, to students of all ages, for nearly 15 years. Most recently on the Front Range of Colorado at Swallow Hill Music and for Jefferson County School District. He views learning songs as the vehicle to deliver theoretical concepts that permeate and govern all music. His goal is to get his students “away from the page” and connected to their instrument and the music, allowing them to join any jam, and play along with any song they hear.
