Our guitar lessons cover acoustic and electric guitar across rock, blues, jazz, classical, folk, and pop styles. You'll learn proper fretting technique, chord voicings, scales, improvisation, and song structure. Lessons are tailored to your musical interests and goals.
Studio City has been at the center of LA's entertainment industry since the silent film era, and its creative energy makes it one of the best neighborhoods in the city for music education. TakeSessions offers private lessons with working musicians who understand both the art and the business of music.
Home to CBS Studio Center and countless recording studios, Studio City attracts a community of artists, writers, producers, and performers. Our students here include child actors preparing musical audition material, aspiring singer-songwriters, and entertainment professionals learning an instrument for personal fulfillment. Schools like Carpenter Avenue Elementary and Walter Reed Middle School feed a steady stream of young musicians into our programs.
The Tujunga Village and Ventura Boulevard dining scenes give Studio City a neighborhood-within-a-city feel. Whether you walk to your lesson or drive from the Fryman Canyon area, you'll find a teaching approach that's as professional and creative as the neighborhood itself.

What Guitar Students Say
"Marcus is the real deal. Having a musician who's actually worked in the industry makes such a difference. My guitar playing has improved more in 3 months than in 2 years of self-teaching."
"The online lessons work surprisingly well. I take guitar lessons with Marcus from my home office and the quality is great. Flexible scheduling is a huge plus."
