Guitar Lessons in L.A.
Hello, I'm John Connell, owner and instructor at Guitar Lessons in L.A. Music has a unique way of connecting us—not just to the world around us, but to something deeper within ourselves. Playing an instrument takes that connection to another level, unlocking new dimensions of creativity and expression.
Whether you're just beginning your guitar journey or looking to refine your skills, my lessons provide a supportive and customized learning experience tailored to your unique goals.
I Understand the Challenges of Getting Started!
As a guitar teacher who has taken many lessons myself, I know both the excitement and the frustration that can come with learning—or returning to—the guitar. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to build on the basics, I’d love to help you on your musical journey. That’s why I offer a Free Introductory Lesson—no pressure, no obligations. And don’t worry, we won’t start with "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." Instead, you’ll leave with something valuable to support your growth as a guitarist.
