Online Lesson Reviews
George Giannaris, age 40, Cutchogue, NY
Lance and I shared a common passion before we had ever met. Lance enjoys playing Batson guitars and I am as passionate as he is about them. Being a Northeast representative for such a fine acoustic instrument as the Batson also meant that I play them well. I realized that lessons were necessary.
Lance’s reputation as a finger-picking style guitarist is renowned; however, I was a little intimidated by taking online guitar lessons through Skype. Now, I would not have it any other way. I am not tied down to a lesson in one location, the lessons are just as personal as having him in my living room and the only weekly interruption would be if I have traveled to a location that lacks an internet connection.
Lance teaches as well as he plays. His extensive experience gives him insight into my limitations, which he addresses in an instinctive, non-threatening way. The exercises and lessons are pleasant, yet challenge and elevate me to a better playing level.
I do not know how I could have such expert lessons without the aid of the internet, since there are few expert guitarists that teach, let alone play as well as Lance in my area.

I enjoyed learning guitar online from Lance Allen.
He knows how to break down the lessons in a clear manner and is very helpful with any questions or concerns.
If needed, he would write the lessons out for you very quickly for practice and reference.
Plus, he is a fingerpicking genius and that I like.

I have played guitar off and on over the last 20 years but was never able to get to the level of skill I wanted on my own. Lance's flexibility, wide range of experience, and knowledge of music theory gave him the ability to adapt to my needs. I had a specific goal: Take the melody of a hymn and weave a simple, finger-style harmony around it. He was able to get me on path of instruction that quickly achieved my goal.
