Maybe you've had thoughts like these:

  • "Figuring out songs on your own is a mystery that only the super-educated can unlock."

  • "I feel like I’m stumbling around half blind when playing with other people."

  • "It’s taking me way too long to learn songs."

​​

  • "I feel like I’m wasting time going down rabbit holes instead of learning things that will actually move me forward."

I know how it feels...

"I remember how my first day of music theory class in college felt. I thought I knew a bit about theory, but I was wrong. I had what felt like an overwhelming mountain of information to learn. But once it clicked, I was able to tell what key songs are in, know what chords sound great together and even jam with other people.

 

In this course I will help you narrow it all down to the most critical elements. We will focus on applying them in a practical way so you can figure out your favorite songs faster."

What Guitar Fam Members Are Saying

Joe N.

"Guitar Fam is the guitar/singing creation of an outstanding couple that supports each other in both music and life! Nate’s guitar lessons are the best I’ve ever found... online or live! His honesty and candour give the rest of us hope and encouragement that our practice sessions will eventually pay off! His lessons and teaching style (both my wife and I are retired teachers) are superb! I highly recommend Guitar Fam and anything past/present or future guitar endeavors Nate and Chelsea create!!" 

Heather K.

"I've been playing the guitar for a while and am really trying to correct some bad habits and improve my overall playing. I took a private lesson from Nate and it was extremely good. I also enjoy the monthly livestreams. I particularly appreciate Chelsea's comments about focus - choose one thing and work on that and you will get better. They are a great team!"  

Cory C.

"Chelsea has a gift! I’ve been singing for many years, many vocal lessons and on our first session I had 3 incredible breakthroughs that she was able to catch and point out. She is an incredible teacher, and whether you’re a beginner, or if you’ve been singing for decades, I have full confidence Chelsea will be able to help you take your voice to the next level!"
