Here are just a few comments from satisfied players:
"I really appreciate the honesty and sincerity you put into the lessons! I wish I had started 10 years ago, but I may not have stuck with it because I would not have had someone to motivate and excite me the way you do. I just wanted to say thanks." Chris Fritchie, Texas
"I also wanted to tell you that if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be where I am today, musically. The things you taught me are invaluable, whether it be about the guitar or about music in general. I feel lucky to have had you as a teacher. " Johnny Wooten www.widowusa.com
" What keeps me coming back- is my progress! What would be more challenging for you- is you're teaching a left hander to play right handed guitar. Thank you for your assurance, patience, motivation and making learning guitar FUN! The more I learn, the bigger my smile."
Mario Lopez, Texas
If you're in North Texas, you can now study privately with Riley Wilson! The same material included in "Guitar Made Simpler- An Intelligent Approach" has been the basis for his private music instruction for over two decades. Because this material is the essential information every professional guitarist uses when performing, Riley's private lessons are fun as well as productive. From rank beginner to working professional, Riley's enthusiasm, professionalism and real world guitar knowledge will help you accomplish your unique goals rapidly.
Since 1985, Riley has always been one of the nation's premier guitar and bass teachers. Past and present students include George Bond (Lakewood Rats, Mirror Image), Mark Keith and Michael Wooten (BlackWatch), Alan Tyler (Tarnished), Tad Walters (Bob Margolin, solo artist) and many more. Today, he still maintains a busy teaching schedule at his home studio in North Texas. Guitar and bass guitar lessons are available on a limited basis. Lessons are available Monday through Friday, including selected daytime slots. If you're in the Dallas-Ft. Worth metroplex and wish to schedule a private one on one lesson, send an e mail to riley@guitarmadesimpler.com. Due to his gigging schedule, regular student lessons are occasionally rescheduled for in the field "research" in the form of live shows. Unlike college professors, this "research" is used to rigorously test information in the "line of fire." This means students learn the latest techniques that work under real world conditions.
