My name is Bill and I teach guitar in the central Little Rock area. I also teach mandolinand 5-string banjo, but guitar was my first instrument and continues to rule my heart. When compared to banjo, which is pigeonholed as a bluegrass and folk instrument, and mandolin, which is little-known outside bluegrass and classical circles, the guitar is a very versatile and ubiquitous instrument that crosses many styles. I can’t play them all, but the ones I do, I do pretty well, I think. And, judging by what most of my students have said over the past 12 years, I think I teach them pretty well, too.As to the styles I teach, they mostly center around the steel-string acoustic guitar. I can start you out on the basic chords, teach you to accompany yourself as you sing, teach you to fingerpick, teach you to flatpick fiddle tunes (a la Doc Watson, etc.), and teach you to play lead lines with the pick.
