If you’re looking for the finest in private guitar and bass instruction, you’ve come to the right place. Riley Wilson is also known as “The Gigmeister” for his 12 years plus writing the column of the same name for “Vintage Guitar” magazine. He has been playing guitar since 1966, working as a professional musician since 1972, teaching guitar and bass since 1985 and writing for working professional musicians since 1987. It’s unfair to compare anyone else since few teachers have this kind of real world experience studying, teaching, performing, communicating and writing about guitar.

”I started playing guitar in January, 1966, after bugging my parents for lessons for about six months. I took lessons from thee different teachers at a local music store in Lexington, KY. The Beatles and The Beach Boys were the two biggest rock acts then, so I tried learning their material. After about four months, I stopped formal instruction and began teaching myself. Within a few years, I was good enough to perform in church with my father as well as some small neighborhood rock groups. I was making money by my senior year of high school with the guitar and gigged across the country until 1983, when I moved to Los Angeles to attend GIT. This had a profound impact on me and I decided to begin teaching within a year of graduation in 1984. I use many of the GIT approaches to helping students master the guitar, like speed learning, time frames, working with a metronome, slow is fast, etc.I get tremendous satisfaction from helping people reach their goals on the guitar!”
