"But...How Could an Independent Guitar Teacher Like You Possibly Offer Better Deals Than the Big Box Stores?"

That's a Good Question. The Answer May Surprise You.


So how can a little guy like Stephen's Guitar Lessons pull off a feat like selling pedals and other accessories for prices that are better than what everyone else—not just the big stores, but everyone else—sells them for?  Well, there are several reasons: without staff, a warehouse full of products, and a giant physical footprint in a high-traffic commercial/retail area, I have far less overhead than they do; I sell exclusively to my students, which limits my need for expensive advertising; with most big stores, they really don't/can't care all that much about an individual customer or sale because they are focused on outselling their competitors and pleasing their shareholders...but I focus on satisfying the needs of my students, and sometimes that means they get an amazing price on a piece of gear; and not the least important are the facts that 1) I am a lessons provider first and foremost, and 2) providing these accessories deals is a perk that I want my students to have—this is a service that I'm happy to be able to provide to my students, and so I pass almost all of the savings along to my students.

All of that, plus my desire to be a single-operator, local small business, adds up to some pretty notable accessories savings for my students.

Stephen's Guitar Lessons has it all: top-notch instruction; a professional and engaging learning environment (both online and in person); prompt and courteous service; the best in accessories, strings, and effects pedals, and at prices you won’t find anywhere else—all exclusively for my students; more free stuff than I can list here (please see the FAQ for more info); a convenient location for in-person lessons, and easy (and great sounding) online connection options for remote students; incredibly reasonable prices (often lower than most everyone else), and more.  Everything you could want in a guitar instructor, and to a greater degree than other guitar instructors offer.

Plus a free intro lesson to prospective new students, so that they can experience it for themselves without a financial commitment up front.
