Skype Guitar and Bass Lessons 30 minutes for $30 for $30

Since 2008, I have been instructing at a private lesson studio (Gene Ford Music - ownership changed to Sky Studios in 2015) in Brentwood, TN just outside of Nashville. I am a graduate of Musicians Institute in Los Angeles, CA.

My approach to teaching is to tailor the lessons to the individual. Everyone has different goals and I create a strategy to reach those goals in a fun way that will encourage further development. I've included some reviews from current students.

"On June 2010 my grandson started lessons with Ian at Gene Ford Music Studio. Chris had watched some YouTube videos but was basically new to the guitar. Ian has worked with Chris and helped him developed his natural talent and build good work habits. I have watched Ian work with other student ranging in ages from six to late teens. He has the ability to tailor his instructions to meet the age and ability of the student. I would recommend Ian to anyone who is looking for a highly professional instructor who places the students needs and abilities above anything else."

"Ian is an outstanding guitar teacher. He has in-depth knowledge and a knack to teach with a professional yet friendly disposition. My son, 14, a competitive athlete, thoroughly enjoys learning to play guitar. He has been working with Ian for almost two years. We thoroughly enjoy listening to my son play guitar - beautifully! Thanks Ian, we could not be happier!"

"Ian is an amazing teacher! My son began lessons with Ian when he was 10 years old. He's now 16 and still loves working with Ian each week. My son's skills and enthusiasm for music continues to grow, thanks to Ian. In addition to his musical and teaching talent, Ian's personality is fantastic. I highly recommend Ian Duthie guitar lessons!"

"My 9 year old daughter takes guitar lessons from Ian and we couldn't be happier! Not only is he clearly a gifted musician, he is also a gifted teacher. He is great at explaining things so that Allison can easily understand, and really great at showing her how to play complex things. Most importantly, Allison loves her lessons! I definitely recommend Ian for lessons (For all ages!)."
