Learn Guitar Chicago

I don’t usually write reviews but now that I’m a year and a half into it, it’s time. Mitch is GREAT ! Upon first meeting him and completely nervous about learning to play guitar, Mitch made me, and still does, feel very at ease. He has great knowledge and is VERY patient. If your thinking about lessons, Mitch is the best.

I believe that Mitch must be the best guitar teacher working in Chicago, and here are the reasons why… first off, it is obvious that he loves to play, and he enjoys teaching others to love it as well. He gets a kick out of hearing and seeing his student «get it». Mitch has the art of teaching guitar down to a science. Within the first 4 lessons, he taught me over 14 chords. His methodology builds on each new lesson… chords, chord changes, rhythm, etc. He has a relaxed style, which puts you at ease to be open to learning. Mitch also comes with a wealth of information for the working musician, having played out since the age of 13, he understands what it takes to learn a new tune, and then get it polished for a performance. I would highly recommend him to beginners as well as advanced guitar students.

I had always messed around with my guitar following tutorials online but without any real guidance. I found Mitch online and after reading some reviews decided to try it out. Thanks to his awesome lessons my playing has grown exponentially over the six months I’ve worked with him. Not only is he a great guitarist and all around great guy but perhaps more importantly he’s a great teacher. You will learn theory along the way but his system allows for a practical understanding of the instrument so you are playing right from the start. If you are considering learning the guitar I would highly recommend Mitch.

I started coming to Mitch about a year ago with little to no experience playing the guitar. I have always wanted to learn how to play and figured that it was finally time to start taking some steps in the right direction.
Over the last year I have been coming Mitch once a week. Within that time frame I have learned more about the guitar then I ever thought possible. Mitch made it easy to understand and broke it down in a step by step learning process which truly helps you to build and grow as a guitar player. He has helped me to learn rhythm guitar and continues to work with me on lead. It’s been a real pleasure working with him and I continue to look forward to what he has to teach me next.
Whether you are an experienced player, or have no musical background what soever, Mitch will turn you into the player you want to be as long as you are willing to put in the time and work.

I’ve been a musician all my life. I’m a classically trained pianist and drummer who used to «fake» it on guitar. What I really wanted was to learn how to really play and understand the instrument. Mitch’s teaching style is exactly what I was looking for. Mitch isn’t teaching you to play songs (although I guarantee you’ll learn some along the way) he teaches you how to play the instrument. By building a strong foundation in scales, rhythm, and theory I’ve advanced from being able to play some cowboy chords to putting together different chord voicings and playing lead (something I’ve always wanted to do). If you’re serious about playing the guitar and are looking for a great teacher, look no further.

I’m on something like my fifth lesson with Mitch and I had no idea how quickly I would be able to progress. As a vocalist, something I’ve been wanting to be able to do for a long time is to be able to sing and play at the same time. It was always the barrier between myself and actually enjoying playing the instrument. With Mitch’s help, whether it was his selection of songs or material to practice, I was able to do it after the second lesson
Now, your mileage may vary, but I am very happy with the instruction I’ve received. If you’re on the lookout for a guitar teacher, you couldn’t find a better teacher than Mitch.

I retired several years ago and have had the desire to learn the guitar for many years.
Since I live in the suburbs I found a local Guitar store that provided lessons. After several months of lessons however it became clear that I was learning to play songs … but I was not learning the guitar. My goal was to learn the guitar and to learn at a fast pace.
After much research I found Learn Guitar Chicago/​Mitch. Mitch is an excellent teacher who follows a systematic program that yields excellent results. I have several friends who have played guitar for many years and they are continually amazed at how much I have learned in a relatively short period of time. I strongly recommend Mitch.

My wife found Learn Guitar Chicago online 3 years ago and purchased my first 2 lessons as a Christmas gift. My guitar that I bought was just collecting dust since I had no clue how to play it. Fast forward 3 years later, and I am still taking lessons from Mitch and and I don’t plan on stopping any time soon. Mitch is very patient and easy to work with. I have a very busy work schedule, so it’s great that Mitch is very flexible working around my schedule. Not many guitar places allow that!!! Mitch has me playing stuff that I would never have thought I could do… he’s like Mr. Myagi!
Mitch is a great teacher for new beginners to someone who has been playing for years and just looking to step up their game. He has a teaching style all to his own that makes each lesson a lot of fun, and that is what he always stresses… fun. I would recommend Learn Guitar to anyone. What you will get out of Mitch is honesty, a cool/​laid back teaching style that makes you feel very comfortable, and most of all you will have a great time with a guy who really knows his stuff! He’s been teaching for over 10 years) and is equally an amazing guitarist! He shocks me every lesson what he can do on the guitar… which is a great motivator to keep practicing!

I found Mitch after inheriting my father’s guitar. That was almost 2 years ago and I am still excited everytime I go to a lesson. Mitch is patient and great to work with. He has me playing things that I never dreamed I would be able to. I have in the past recommended him, and will continue to recommend him to everyone!

Mitch inspired me to follow my love of the guitar and I’m now proud to say that I am a graduate of Berklee College of Music and a professional touring musician. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to express himself through music.
