Private instruction is available in our Southwest Virginia Home Studio. I teach all levels of acoustic guitar from beginners to advanced contest flatpicking. You can learn to play tunes in the flatpicking styles of Doc Watson, Tony Rice, or Norman Blake. I also teach Travis style finger-picking and other flatpicking styles such as those played by George Shuffler and Maybelle Carter. I also teach various back-up guitar styles and advanced swing chords.

I teach beginner and intermediate MANDOLIN and BASS as well as beginning bluegrass BANJO which introduces rolls and tunes such as Cripple Creek and Old Joe Clark.

The price of private instruction is $35.00 per hour, payable monthly or per lesson. Contact me for available time slots by email at: skilby@kilbymusic.com
