Group Lessons

Guitar House Workshop offers workshops and small group classes taught by in house and guest instructors at various times throughout the year. COVID19 has put a temporary “hold” on our indoor group classes. With help from friends of the shop, we built a pavilion just beyond the shop garden in the Spring of 2021 and hold safe small group classes there. We also use the space for shop jam sessions, local musician busking, student open mic nights, and shop picnics. Call the shop or subscribe to our email newsletter for upcoming group learning opportunities. Among our past offerings:

Gary Puckett's Turtle Jam Class: A 6 week class where musicians can learn the basics of playing together in a traditional jam. Centered on bluegrass and folk traditions, Gary provides a fun way to gain confidence playing with others.  Whether you know a few chords, or can pick out a solo on the spot, you will find a comfortable place in the Saturday jam class. You will also find new friends and a supportive enthusiastic environment to stretch your skills. This class usually includes six Saturday afternoons from 5-6:30 at the shop and runs a few times each year. 

Gary Puckett’s “Music Theory That Makes Sense”: A 3 week class that exposes students to basic music theory in a fun and painless atmosphere. Three Saturdays from 5-6:30.

Paul Brown’s Beginning Jazz Class: Paul's 6 week Jazz Class is a great way to get some extra experience improvising with jazz. Paul’s teaching style is personal, informative and encouraging. Enjoy the company of a few new friends while extending your musical knowledge and skill.
