Doug Cameron Guitar Instruction

Doug is a great teacher, incredibly patient and knowledgeable. He tailors the lessons to your wishes, while still giving you the structure you need to make fundamental improvements. He provides a great mix of theory and practical teaching.

I can certainly vouch for the reviews that have been posted about Doug Cameron Guitar Instruction. It’s been quite some time since I’ve taken lessons due to unforeseen circumstances and tons of life changes but it speaks volumes if I want to return to lessons with Doug.
He, by far, has been the best guitar instructors I’ve had. His intelligence, kindness, understanding, and patience are truly reflected in his teaching style and methods. He also has the ability to challenge you and allow you to grow without it being some laborious task either. His background as an academic musician definitely helps in understanding music. There’s nothing dry or uninteresting about the lessons and you gain much. The one thing that definitely stands out is his unconditional love for music. He’s authentic and it shows and you can’t help but want to learn from him.

I’ve just finished my third round of classes with Doug and am anxiously awaiting class to start again in the fall. I started learning to play guitar reading bits and pieces on the Internet and various books. Doug’s classes gave me a great foundation in many styles, techniques and theory to boost my playing to continually higher levels.
Each class has a range of students with different playing abilities and musical preferences. Doug always makes sure there is something for everyone to keep the whole class challenged and moving along on their own levels.
Classes at the community colleges are a great value to get started in your lessons. I’m looking forward to starting private lessons with Doug this summer and am sure to enjoy them.

I took a guitar class with Doug and I am going back for more. Doug is a fantastic instructor. He combines music theory and playing the guitar in his lessons and has infinite patience with his students. He teaches a variety of styles, leaning toward jazz. I highly recommend attending one his classes.

Doug Cameron is the Consumate guitar teacher. He is not only a great player of, jazz, blues, and classical but has a very deep knowledge when it comes to music theory and his ability to explain it so the average person can understand what he is telling you. I would recommend Doug to the beginner and the advanced player. He is also aa arranger and composer, if you are experiencing an artistic block or are just at a plateau with your music Doug can take you to the next creative level and beyond.

I took one of Doug’s intermediate guitar classes (after a few months of self-​instruction) and I can not imagine a better learning experience. He managed to set me straight on my form, interpretation, fingering — pretty much everything — quickly and completely without judgment. Doug is incredibly knowledgeable about music — he can break a single sound down to its core elements and explain its history, its home (within scales, styles and modes) and how to build upon it yourself. I can’t imagine getting more for my money in guitar instruction. Doug is extremely encouraging and is always prepared with a well thought-​through lesson plan. I now have a repetoire of songs that range from flamenco to swing and the ability to improvise blues after just 2 months of instruction. I’m so looking forward to continuing to learn from Doug and can’t recommend him highly enough to you.
