Our guitar lessons cover acoustic and electric guitar across rock, blues, jazz, classical, folk, and pop styles. You'll learn proper fretting technique, chord voicings, scales, improvisation, and song structure. Lessons are tailored to your musical interests and goals.
Westwood is one of LA's most dynamic neighborhoods for music education, anchored by the energy of UCLA and the cultural richness of Westwood Village. TakeSessions offers private lessons in piano, guitar, voice, drums, violin, and more — right here in Westwood at our Oppenheimer Tower studio on Wilshire Boulevard.
Our Westwood students range from UCLA undergrads exploring music as a creative outlet to families in the Holmby Hills and Comstock Hills neighborhoods seeking top-tier instruction for their children. With easy access from the 405 and ample parking, getting to your lesson is effortless.
Whether you're preparing for a UCLA music audition or picking up guitar for the first time, our world-class musicians tailor every lesson to your goals. Westwood's thriving arts scene — from Geffen Playhouse performances to Hammer Museum exhibits — makes it a natural home for serious music study.

What Guitar Students Say
"Marcus is the real deal. Having a musician who's actually worked in the industry makes such a difference. My guitar playing has improved more in 3 months than in 2 years of self-teaching."
"The online lessons work surprisingly well. I take guitar lessons with Marcus from my home office and the quality is great. Flexible scheduling is a huge plus."
