Guitar and Bass Lessons

Guitar & Bass Lessons at Blue Sky Music Studios

Take guitar lessons from the Albany area's finest instructors, no matter what your age or level of experience.  Whether your goal is to play live in front of hundreds of people, in the basement with your friends, or simply to expand your chord and theory knowledge for the purpose of writing your own music, our experienced guitar teachers can assist you in obtaining your goal!  

We enjoy helping others!  Whether a beginner just learning to strum open chords, an advanced student trying to solo over changes or an adult revisiting an old passion, we’re here to help you along.  We teach guitar lessons to children as young as 5 years old right up to retired adults.

Are you a beginner looking to strum acoustic tunes like Neil Young or John Mayer?  Do you want to learn how to shred like Eddie Van Halen, John Petrucci or Steve Vai?  Would you like to be able to improvise like Derek Trucks, or in a jazz context like Mike Stern?  Or perhaps you just want help with specific things such as slide guitar, finger picking or classical chops. Of course everyone should have a solid foundation of the basics such as technique, reading, and theory, but if you become disinterested because you’re exclusively working in a style you’ll never play, or playing songs that you don’t like, you most likely won't stick with it. Our guitar instructors will work with you to get you where you want to go, giving you the foundation you need in order to move forward in whatever style of music you prefer and enjoy.
