Since I started taking guitar lessons from Kim, my guitar playing is light years better than it used to be.   My friends noticed right away and I am much better than the people I used to jam with

One nice thing about Kim’s lessons is that they are truly self-paced.  If you are ambitious you can learn very fast and learn many different subjects simultaneously.  If you are the busy type who can barely squeeze in an hour of practice in a week, Kim will still work with you to make the most of that hour.  Kim is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to explain every musical question I have ever thrown at her.  No matter what style, jazz, blues, classical, shred metal, or even Hannah Montana, Kim can teach it to you in no time at all.  Kim is gifted with an excellent ear, and can transcribe all sorts of crazy things students throw at her.

  Not only is Kim a good teacher, she is also a very talented musician. Her albums show her technique and proficiency but hearing her play live is a sublime experience, and she makes it look quite easy.   Taking lessons from Kim is truly amazing its like having Larry Carlton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Freddie King at your disposal.

  In the hands of an ordinary music teacher, theory and technique related to the guitar would find most students either with their heads in the clouds due to the boredom, or looking at their watch to see when the lesson ends.
Even with Kimberly’s low key manner and personality, this woman, teacher and professional musician can burn on guitar, and she know how to relay that information in a creative, organized and fun program.

She is thorough:  Fingerboard geometry, theory and its application, approaches to soloing and much more.  She’s well versed in all styles and her personable style makes learning fun.  She inspires you to take the lesson information and traditions she passes down and use it, to make them your own—even if you want to play for pleasure only.

The lessons are never boring and you will grow musically as a guitarist in so many ways.  I’ve increased my knowledge of fingerboard geometry (where the notes are).  I’ve been shown what made jazz standards great relative to harmony.  We’ve broken down guitar solos of the great blues artist and it’s helped me in learning to solo—something I never imagined I’d be able to do, let alone attempt.  I can accompany myself on songs I’ve always wanted to sing, and Kimberly encourages you when you are having difficulties comprehending any part of a lesson.

I highly recommend if you are stuck in your pursuit of guitar playing excellence, call and make an appointment.  Hour lesson cover a lot and will help you be a creative and musically balanced musician.

I’ve traveled a long way on my guitar adventure in the past year… and it’s been a blast.
Kimberly Allison is a great player and great teacher and now a friend.
