Welcome to my page! My name is Kurt, owner and instructor of Axtreme Guitar, the YouTube channel www.youtube.com/AxtremeGuitar, and the voice of The Guitar Crusade, A Podcast for the Every Day Guitarist.

I have been playing acoustic and electric guitar since 1994 and teaching since 2000. Guitar is my passion! I am confident in my abilities and stand by my service. I supply practice material and supplement lessons with personal videos and other methods.

I teach a diverse range of students from 5 to 100 years old! Yes, I basically have no limit to how old a student I will work with. No prior musical background is necessary! If you or someone you know have been wanting to learn guitar, feel free to message me. I am happy to answer any questions!

Parents of Young Children:
With young children, the length of lessons depends on a child's attention span, which can fluctuate from lesson to lesson. I typically start by teaching familiar songs. Patience, encouragement and repetition are key!

I am available to start immediately. Please do not hesitate to contact me. Go ahead and schedule your first lesson with me now!

Best Electric Guitar Teacher

I knew nothing about guitar. My grandad brought me an electric guitar pre pandemic and I'm just now getting lessons and Kurt is amazing, patient, and cool. I highly recommend him.

Marc, 19 lessons with Kurt

Great Teacher

Patient and helpful. He makes the lessons comfortable for the learner, which is of course important when learning an instrument.

Dayna, 1 lesson with Kurt

Great teacher!

Kurt is incredible! He is very knowledgeable and knows how to assess students. I highly recommend him because he listen to the student’s needs.

Excellent tutor

We started with Christmas, moved to Beetles then onto chord structure and scales. I am only sorry I don't practice enough to be better but will work harder this week (not Labor Day)

Great Instructor

Patient

I’ve been taking lessons with Kurt for a month now, and he has been very helpful. I’ve learned a lot about the guitar, and he makes understanding the guitar easier.

Great instructor who continues to engage student

We are very grateful to have found Kurt! When my son said that he wanted to learn how to play guitar I was a little nervous due to its complexity, but Kurt has done a great job working with him. He has continued to engage my 8 year old son on his level and provide activities that he can work on between lessons. Kurt has been extremely patient and has helped get my very shy child out of his shell. Still having a ways to go in his guitar playing journey, I can see great improvement and excitement about playing.

Great Teacher!!!

I am an older student and have been studying with Kurt for a year now. He is a superb teacher, incredibly patient, and encouraging. He presents a variety of material that challenges but does not overwhelm me. He offers multiple approaches to conquer the many stumbling blocks that learning the guitar presents. I strongly recommend him for both children and adults. Nancy McCarthy May 2022

Helped a lot during first lesson; was very patient and understood and was willing to teach me what I wanted to learn. Reviewed the basics and that was helpful.
