Scot Taber Guitarist

I help guitarists of all levels approach the nylon string guitar and discover the exciting world of flamenco, classical, rumba, bossa nova, latin jazz, popular music and more.

My weekly videos feature song tutorials, technique drills and music theory lessons with hands-on improvisation practice.

I like to break things down step-by-step and get you playing as efficiently as possible!
