"Dan has such a wealth of knowledge and experience... and a definite passion to pass it on. I came in knowing some basics and he immediately had a sense of not only my taste in music, but exactly how to scaffold lessons that are fun and understandable. The addition of videos and exercises help tremendously to keep it up successfully once I walk out of the lesson." ~Sue, Shelburne

45-Minute Lesson: $35
Includes personalized videos for home practice.

GUITAR & BASS SETUPS

Strings too high?
Tuning issues?
Buzzing on certain frets?
Bending notes muting out?
Electronics cutting out or crackly?

One of the best investments you can make for your acoustic or electric guitar or bass is a professional setup. I will elevate your guitar to maximum comfort, playability and beauty. A setup addresses every part of your guitar – string height, fret & fretboard condition, tuners, electronics & pickups – and includes a very thorough cleaning!
