Bart Mason / Instructor
— 01 / Practice
A lesson that fits how you actually play.
Every student walks in different. Some want first chords by Christmas. Some want Clapton's vibrato. Some need a teacher who'll sit with them while they unlearn ten years of bad habits. Bart builds the lesson around the player — never the other way around.

II.
Voice
Pentatonic, blues box, bending, vibrato, fingerpicking, slide. Finding the sound that already lives in your hands.
III.
Repertoire
From Doc Watson to Hendrix, Skip James to Skynyrd. Songs you actually want to play, broken down phrase by phrase.
IV.
Theory, painlessly
Just enough to make the fretboard stop feeling like a maze. CAGED, intervals, song structure, why a IV–V resolves.
V.
Live readiness
Tone shaping, mic'ing an amp, playing with a drummer, surviving your first open mic without your hands shaking.
VI.
Your project
Writing a song, recording at home, prepping a worship set, cutting a demo. Pick a goal — we work toward it.
— 03 / How it works
Pay by the class,
or by the package.
Lessons run weekly, most often, but the schedule bends around your life. Pay per class if you're testing the waters. Pick a package when you're ready to commit — they're tailored to your goal, your level, and how often you want to meet.
