What other students are saying...

“"I have been using and studying Scot's Ultimate Nylon String Guitar Guide for 2 months and love it. As someone who has taken 8 years of studio lessons from Scot's music school Paper Moon Music, I can tell you that his teaching methods are easy to understand and very effective. This course is the perfect extension of his excellent teaching style! I have been using it every day and it’s like taking studio lessons multiple times a week! It’s also very easy to go back to a previous module just to refresh what Scot has presented. I wholeheartedly recommend this course for anyone who is interested in furthering their ability and skills in playing the nylon string guitar."”

“The Ultimate Nylon String Guitar Guide is fantastic. It progressively teaches techniques and key concepts used in Flamenco style music, while being easy to follow and entertaining. It allows unlimited review of previously completed modules to ensure no techniques are forgotten. This course should seriously be considered by anyone wishing to elevate their nylon string guitar skills!”

Your Instructor

I started playing guitar at age 12 after my best friend brought home an electric guitar. At that point I had somehow assumed that "regular people" weren't allowed to play the guitar - that it was something "people on TV" did. I had studied the trumpet and piano and so was already a musician in a sense, but it wasn't until I picked up a guitar that I truly found my calling. My first teacher introduced me to all kinds of guitar styles, from rock and jazz to classical and flamenco. It wasn't long before I was performing for flamenco dancers and teaching my own guitar students by age 17. In my ongoing career as a performing musician and educator, I have played countless gigs and taught thousands of students in person, online, and through YouTube tutorials. Over the years I've coached a broad range of students with diverse learning styles and interests, and now I'm taking my experience online to share my expertise with guitarists from around the globe. I know the problems and pitfalls you're likely to have when playing guitar, and with the learning materials and teaching methods I've developed, I'm confident I can help you be the player you want to be. I strive to create guitar courses, tutorials, and sheet music that will be accessible yet challenging - and above all, fun and exciting - to guitar students of all levels.
