A guitar teacher for all ages and styles.

“Brian is an amazing teacher and an amazing person”

His lessons helped me to improve vastly in guitar-playing skill, and we always had fun while doing so. He is an extremely skilled musician with a knack for translating complicated ideas into simplistic ones, which is why Brian is such a gifted teacher. Learning guitar doesn’t have to be difficult, because Brian makes it easy.

“I’ve never worked with a more skilled guitarist”

I learned more in one hour with Brian than from years of practice and hundreds of hours of YouTube tutorials. His versatility and compassionate demeanor make for easily digestible lessons that stick with you for life. In all my years as a professional musician, I’ve never met another like S. Brian Bailey.

“If you really want to learn guitar, this is the way”

I have been playing bass for 30 years and I earned a degree from Berklee College of Music. I was having some trouble migrating to the guitar from bass and had tried unsuccessfully for many years. Within a few months of working with Brian, things came together for me in ways that I never could have imagined. His style of teaching and his proficiency on the instrument are a good representation of the many years of work he has put into refining his program to work for anyone. If you really want to learn guitar, this is the way.

“You’re not going to find a better method than his”

There are people who can play and there are people who can teach. Brian is an exceptional example of both. His teaching style is straightforward. If you have the determination to learn, you’re not going to find a better method than his.

“The experience will move you to be the best player you can be”

I met Brian in the early ‘90s at a music store in Malden, MA, and shortly after started taking guitar lessons with him. Being a drummer, this was a challenge, but together we made it happen. 30 years later, after being in several bands with Brian (as a drummer), I’ve come full circle with his style of teaching, we make great music together, and I am STILL LEARNING from his ways. His teaching style, communication, presence, and encouragement are what set his teaching and lessons apart from everyone else. The experience will definitely move you to be the best player you can be.

“I have been taking lessons with Brian for over 15 years”

He is absolutely one of the most gifted guitarists I have had the honor learning from. He’s an amazing teacher and mentor. I simply wouldn’t be the person I am today without his guidance through guitar theory and in life. If you’re looking for someone to guide you on your journey to learning the guitar or further, you’ve found him.
