Yes. Every lesson is live and one-on-one over Zoom, so Stevie watches your hands, corrects your technique as it happens, and screen-shares charts and diagrams. It's a real teacher in real time, not a pre-recorded course you have to figure out alone.

It depends on how often you practice and what you want to play. Most beginners are playing simple songs within the first few weeks, and comfortable chord changes and full songs usually come after a few months of steady weekly lessons. Because every plan is built around music you actually like, you're playing real songs from the start. Read the full answer.

For kids and newer players, often yes. Shorter lessons keep attention high and make weekly practice feel manageable. Adults and anyone working on technique or theory usually get more from 45 or 60 minutes.

$45 for 30 minutes, $60 for 45 minutes, $75 for a full hour. One-on-one, online, no packages or contracts required.

You'll see the claim that 90% of people quit, and it gets repeated everywhere. The real pattern is simpler: people quit when practice feels like homework or they get stuck with nobody to help. Songs you love plus notes after every lesson keep it fun enough to stick with. Read what students say.

Stevie teaches students ages 10 and up. Shorter 30-minute lessons ($45) tend to suit younger students.

All of them. Some students are holding a guitar for the very first time during the intro lesson. Others have played for years and just need a shove in a new direction.

A guitar, a device with a camera, and a decent internet connection. Stevie brings the equipment, the visual aids, and the screen-sharing setup on his end.
