I have to say it was the best decision I ever made to contact Mike who is able to fulfill my childhood dream to become a guitar player and I highly recommend Mike to anyone who wants to learn guitar or even experienced guitar players who want to improve their skills.

Luckily, I found Mike!

Since I started taking lessons from Mike in 2021, my skills have improved more than I ever imagined. Mike’s teaching method seamlessly incorporates theory/fundamentals into practical application by teaching musical categories and Mike has us play songs that embody the concepts he’s teaching. This approach makes learning theory/fundamentals much more enjoyable.

“I played in bands throughout my late teens and early 20’s including band jams and gigs and recording and figured I had a pretty good grasp on how to play guitar. Then I started taking lessons with Mike Walsh later in life and realized there was so much more to learn.”

“I was over 50 when I started taking lessons with Mike, am not musically inclined AT ALL and had to juggle a full time job, 2 teenage kids, a wife and all the other distractions life throws at you.  Yet, in just after a few months (literally) you'll find yourself playing your first show with other students and recording songs in his studio.”
