Brian is a terrific instructor. He's a very gifted musician and his ability to provide tab from memory is amazing. I started with Brian as a beginner and would still be taking lessons from him if we lived in the same area. He's also a very personable and friendly guy, which makes the learning experience all the more pleasant.

Lesson Policies
Service
Lessons can be very tightly scheduled, so we really have to end on time. If you are going to be a few minutes late, come anyway and we will get in as much as we can. Brian will travel up to 20 miles around Nashville. If you are booking a lesson at your place, be sure to choose "Outcall" so you can enter your address. When scheduling a lesson at your place, you will see that each lesson requires an extra hour on the schedule. This is to account for travel time. You will actually receive a 1/2-hour or 1-hour lesson. So if you want it to start at noon, book it to start at 11:30. If any questions on this, call or email!
Payment
All lessons must be paid for online before you show up.
Cancellation
A 24-hour notice is required to cancel or change your lesson. If you need to cancel or change with less notice, you will be charged. Likewise, I can cancel or change a lesson with a 24-hour notice. If I cancel you with less notice, we will try to reschedule. If that's not feasible, you will receive a refund. You can cancel or change your lesson on the Internet. If it is less than 24 hours, I would appreciate a phone call (no text messages): 615-852-7345.
Teaching Hours:
Mon 6pm - 9pm
Tue 10am - 9pm
Fri 10am - 6pm
Brian will travel up to 20 miles. If you are booking a lesson at your place, choose "Outcall" for the location. You’ll be able to enter your address. Schedule your Outcall lesson ½ hour early to account for travel time. So if you want it to start at noon, book it to start at 11:30. You will actually receive a ½-hour or 1-hour lesson. If any questions on this, email!

Custom Tabs
If you would like a tab of your favorite tune, Brian can do that. If you can send
him a sample of your playing, or describe your level, he will be able to make an
arrangement well-suited for you.
He doesn’t do note-for-note transcriptions, but will make you a custom version of
whatever you want. The cost is $21 and includes a tab and an mp3 file of Brian playing
it. Email Brian and tell him what song you want. If he is not familiar with it,
you’ll need to submit an mp3.
When your order is ready, you will get an email and can use the buttons below to
pay and download your tab.
Please allow up to a week to get your tab order. If you have a deadline, book a
1/2-Hour Lesson time slot above and he will do your piece during that time.
