Does anyone know a kickass teacher (for guitar) in the Boston area? I've been playing for a while (self taught) and I'm at the point where I'm hitting a wall because of my lack of theory knowledge. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Go down to the corner of Mass. Ave and Boylston St and spit - you'll hit one.

 

 

 

 

 

Try contacting Berklee and ask about private lessons. I"m sure they can put you on to someone. What do you need to know? I"m not a great player, but if theory is all you need I might be able to help.

I think that my lack of knowledge on theory is definitely holding me back from the "next level" (whatever that is). Right now my hands are light years beyond my head. I've been in a few cover bands and can play songs and all that but recently we've been trying to come up with our own stuff and I'm constantly getting "stuck" if that makes any sense. I'll get going or come up with a decent riff or groove and then I get lost and have no clue where to go. I'm thinking this is because I know pretty much zero about theory. Any help on where or how to start would be greatly appreciated.

I heard there's some guy named Mick Goodrick who's supposed to be o.k.

 

Or James Kelly.

 

I've also heard of this guy Larry Baione, but I'm not really sure if he knows his {censored}.

 

Obviously I'm being sarcastic.

 

You're in the right city to get guitar lessons my friend. Get in touch with some Berklee Students (I'm one, might be able to point you in the right direction.)

 

Lots of poor students would love to teach a few lessons and make a little extra cash.

 

GOOD students...find out their ensemble ratings, and find out who they're studying with. You could get material second hand from the greatest bastions of guitar knowledge in the world.

 

Good luck, and let me know if you need any more help.
