Guitar Lessons in NYC, NY

We all know the stereo-type: a stuck up instructor who's more interested in doling out monotonous exercises than helping you learn to play the guitar. A good guitar instructor passes on knowledge but also keeps in mind the interests of his/her students.
Perform For an Audience!

Student Reviews
Wendy provides voice lessons to both of our teenage children, ages 16 and 14 years old. She is truly outstanding. Wendy has a calming way about her that puts our kids at ease and makes the lessons enjoyable. She is very professional, always on time, and a pleasure to work with. She is outstanding at identifying strengths and weaknesses in vocal performance and has really helped both of our children improve. She comes highly recommended!
Mark & Kelly - Arlington Heights, IL Teacher: Wendy P.About the Guitar
Electric guitars can have solid, semi-hollow, or hollow bodies, and produce little sound without amplification. Electromagnetic pickups convert the vibration of the steel strings into electrical signals which are fed to an amplifier through a cable or radio transmitter.
