“I have been taking live ‘1 on 1’ private online lessons with Dave Celentano through Guitar Tricks for a little over one year. Dave is an excellent teacher. I did not even realize we had been together for over a year as I enjoyed every minute of our lessons. He is quick to analyze my skills (or lack thereof) and develop a plan for me to learn the guitar and music. He taught me more than chords, where the notes are on the guitar and the mechanics of playing. He taught me music, music theory and increased my interest in music. Throughout the year we ventured into several areas I had not thought of, and even gave me some of his own teaching tools to aid in my learning and appreciation of playing the guitar. He taught me some really cool blues songs and riffs...

“I have been taking live online guitar lessons from Dave Celentano (in group classes and private ‘1 on 1’) through Guitar Tricks for about a year. I’m new to the guitar but have some musical background. I have seen Dave work with all levels of ability, he’s able to keep things simple for the beginner and interesting for the advance guitarist. Dave is an excellent, first-class music/guitar instructor and I feel fortunate to be able to have lessons with him from the comfort of my home.”

I started to scour the internet for teaching sites, then I discovered Dave Celentano’s ‘1 on 1’ private lessons through Guitar Tricks. You can check him out on YouTube, Spotify, iTunes, etc...

“I have always considered myself an autodidact. This has been an effective methodology in most of my educational pursuits. There have been exceptions; golf, for example, was difficult. I watched videos and read books on the perfect golf swing, but I never had a working technique until I had a formal lesson with a golf pro. I had no expectation that I could master learning guitar, and I assumed that it would be an arduous task. I performed some due diligence and scheduled my first live online ‘1 on 1’ lesson with guitar instructor Dave Celentano. This experience has been nothing short of an epiphany in my learning experience. I feel fortunate, as I realized early on that Dave enjoys teaching. It is not an easy pursuit. Many of my friends had short-lived experiences with music teachers, and just didn’t know where to turn. Dave has been a great resource. I have had lessons almost every week for the first year. Most of my guitar focus before Dave was centered on ‘cowboy chords’. I was rarely moving beyond the 3rd fret...

“This weekend I had several particularly good practice sessions across multiple areas to include my understanding of theory, the intricacies of some personally challenging chord fingerings and my perennial rhythmical challenges. After playing for nearly 3 years and only now beginning to see notable improvements in my playing, I wondered ‘why now?’ The answer to the question is unequivocally my live ‘1 on 1’ private lessons with Guitar Tricks instructor Dave Celentano...
