Roger Ferguson - Guitar, Mandolin & Fiddle

With just a few lessons, Roger improved my guitar playing dramatically. Working new chord patterns was the key. Thanks Roger. Hope to see you soon. Lars

We are beyond happy with lessons! Lessons are adjusted based on progress. My daughter always asks about checking if her play-along video has been sent and it helps her know what the rhythm should sound like. My son has made significant progress this year and is excited that he gets to have input on the songs that he learns.

We were looking for a guitar teacher for our 16 year-old son Graham and saw Roger perform. His fast flat picking and accuracy was amazing. After a few lessons Graham realized that Roger could explain theory and get to the how to of playing without sounding like a book. In fact, he has the guitar do the explaining. Roger has the link to the Holy Grail of the fretboard that works for rock, blues, jazz or any genre. Great with ear playing, or tab or notation. Very flexible and accomplished at all three, and if easy to improv with during a lesson. He is flexible about lesson times and changing interest in music. Mostly teaches with, not to, the student.

I have enjoyed Roger’s group classes very much. They are challenging and fun. I have gained a wealth of musical knowledge in addition to increasing my guitar playing skills. Available song sheets, videos, and sound tracks help with the learning experience. I keep going back for more!

A complete professional with college level instruction ability is able to tailor lessons to each individual. A performer with virtuoso skills in guitar, fiddle and mandolin provides excellent examples in a non-judgmental, supportive environment. Offers private and group lessons, and is able to get a group to play well and learn well together, even when there are different instruments in the group. When I hit barriers in my learning, Roger is able to provide different approach or an exercise to go around my "block" and help me play better. Theory is applied using a practical approach. Elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, and improvisation are worked into many lessons. All in a relaxed and comfortable environment that encourages fun and creativity.
