Veteran guitarist Tab Wakley knows that the secret to becoming a great musician lies in loving what you play. That’s why he takes his teaching cues from his students, building his lessons around the genres and musicians that they most want to emulate. Over his years as a touring musician, Tab has mastered techniques that range from flat-picking to full-on shredding; his greatest asset as a teacher, however, is his ability to immediately assess your level of experience and match it with the appropriate subject matter. Students can delve right into strumming chords and playing songs or investigate the elements of music theory by reading sheet music or melting down a vinyl Beethoven record.
