Learning guitar from Ralph could not be more effortless. All I have to do is show up and practice. Ralph is a wealth of knowledge and knows thousands of songs he can give you based on your skill level. He also happily takes requests and makes them as easy as possible for whatever your level is. He could not be more chill with his pleasant smiling face on the other side of the computer screen each week. Ralph is on the opposite coast from me so I am grateful I can take lessons from him without ever leaving the comfort of my own home. Highly recommended! - Sandy L.
I’ve always loved music and wanted to learn guitar, but I thought I was too old and too busy to really pick it up. Ralph completely changed that. His teaching style and process make it easy to start playing songs right away — including ones I’ve always loved, plus great new music he introduces. The Zoom lessons are super convenient, and having the recordings to review has helped me improve quickly. Thanks to Ralph, I can finally call myself a guitar player! - Brit Y.
Ralph came highly recommended, and I've been so pleased. He's a patient, encouraging, and gifted instructor. ' Whether you're young or old; a beginner or a pro-Ralph will have you playing your favorite tunes in no time! - Angie W.
I've been taking guitar lessons with Ralph since January 2024, and it's been a great experience. He's a patient and knowledgeable instructor who explains concepts clearly. The online lessons fit well with my busy schedule. Lessons are tailored to my skill level and interests, keeping them fresh, productive, and fun. Ralph’s deep understanding of guitar and insightful teaching style have helped me stay motivated and make steady progress. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn or improve their guitar skills. - Eric K.
Ralph is an amazing, talented teacher who makes guitar lessons accessible and fun! Love Guitar Lessons To Go! - Stephanie P.
I found Ralph about 2010 and learned basic electric guitar very quickly, but I moved away to a distant city for work. I stayed in touch with my friend and when lessons began via Zoom, I re-started remotely and it works great. There's no one I would rather learn from than Ralph. He is patient, flexible and gets you up and going on songs you like right away. - Mike M.
100% recommend. I am a life long music appreciator, but not participant. It always seemed like a mystery to me. Ralph demystified learning an instrument in my late 30s/40s. And he made it fun! He would take my music tastes and show up the next week with the music sheet. He started out as an instructor and became a lifelong (long-distance now) friend. Don't second guess, just schedule a lesson now. - Mary Kate M.
I am an adult student and have taken lessons from various instructors over the years. I never stuck with it, and often it was just because I wasn't inspired to learn, given the teaching styles that some of them employed. When you love music and the guitar as I do, you expect your teacher to have that same deep appreciation for what music can add to life. And that is what makes Ralph so different from others that teach guitar. The first day I met Ralph, I knew that things would be interactive and fun. He teaches songs that I know and like. And he works through actual songs, not hours and hours of music theory, although I appreciate the fact that he weaves that in as we go (cleverly, I might add). He has infinite patience, a great sense of humor, and is just a fine person. My lesson each week is great inspiration for me, and I love to practice now. - Scott N.
Ralph is a fantastic teacher. Finding the right mentor/teacher for music can be tough and we feel very fortunate to have found Ralph. We highly recommend Guitar Lessons To Go! - Daniel P
I took beginner guitar lessons with Ralph for years! We learned a ton. Ralph makes learning guitar fun. Not just notes but actually jumping right in and playing songs. Believe it or not, it’s true - we jammed to songs by our second lesson. Each lesson was a jam session. Highly recommend Ralph! - Heidi L.
I am 40, have two little kids and work a sales job that involves overnight travel in two states. I have every excuse in the world to justify not taking guitar lessons. I ignored them and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! My hour lessons are an absolute blast! If you have ever dreamed of being able to play, or have picked at one for years and never got anywhere with it - call Ralph and start taking lessons RIGHT NOW! From the beginning we started learning songs that I knew and liked and we haven't stopped yet - I have almost 200 songs now in my binder! I take my guitar with me on the road and practice in hotel rooms at night rather than staring at the TV. Thank you so much, Ralph and Guitar Lessons To Go. . .ROCK ON!. - Jay B.
Ralph understands the challenges adults experience in learning to play the guitar. When I started, I was afraid to play in front of anyone - including him. But he always finds something good to say about what I'm doing. He’s been nothing but patient, brings me songs I want to play, teaches both chords and technique. The flexibility of Zoom classes suits my work schedule perfectly. I would recommend him, 5 stars, to anyone! - Carol K.
I started lessons with Ralph maybe a year before the craziness of the pandemic. I had owned a guitar for way longer than I would like to admit and it sat in a case collecting dust. Never mind the guitar lessons my wife bought for me on CD, books that I purchased, etc. - I just wasn’t getting it done. When our oldest son showed interest in a guitar (he had several friends that played), my wife found out about Ralph and we got started. Before COVID, Ralph would come to the house weekly but since COVID it is virtual which works just as well and saves the travel! Even better, when our son went to college, we still make time each week for a virtual lesson and I got the bonus of getting to see our son each week! Thanks Ralph and keep on rockin’! - Chuck K.
