With the launching of phase one of the Guitar Catalyst website, I am very enthralled and excited about what is to come!
Several years ago, I picked up an acoustic guitar for the first time because I was bored. After learning my first "D" chord, fingers aching with discomfort, I never imagined that I'd be here today. Years of calloused fingers, missing picks, and popped strings later, I still am learning more every day, and the thrill of playing has never left! I applaud you for your interest in mastering the wonderful instrument of the guitar. Whether it be for yourself, your child, or a friend, you will find that research and study are always rewarded.
During phase one, we are reaching out into the local area of Pensacola, Florida to offer guitar lessons on a personal, one-on-one basis. In this type of setting, the student's needs will be clearly and precisely satisfied and growth will be exponential. Whether the pupil is learning guitar for the first time, or a veteran is looking to take his or her lead lines and chordal structures to the next plane of inspiration, you can be sure that increase will be rapid.
As it is said, "Iron sharpens iron," truly it is of much benefit for myself to work with the diversity of students that have already connected with us. Learning is never a one way street, so in that respect, I look forward to what you have to bring to the table. I am excited to hear your unique personality flow with limitless expression through your fingertips.
As you prepare yourself for the next step in your musical journey, do not despise the day of small beginnings. Whether you are brand new, or an advanced player, count today as something small in comparison to where you are headed. 
The future is bright, and you are a part of it.
Make history!
