Osterloh Guitar Academy

Jan 2024

As someone who tried learning guitar from YouTube and from popular online courses off and on for a few years, I just wasn't getting what I as an individual student needed. I searched around for quite a while and finally found Osterloh Guitar Academy where Travis is teaching what I was hoping to learn: the instrument itself and music. I really wanted to understand what I was doing, how, and even why. The lessons here do that for me!

I’d been a self taught guitar player since my teens but I never knew how to excel my skills or grow beyond basic chord formations and reading basic tabs. After about two months with Travis my understanding of the fretboard and building blocks of music theory has grown significantly. I am finally seeing patterns that are allowing me to progress to play creatively and break beyond the bounds of basic tablature. He is a patient teacher who seems to truly care about his students understanding of the material and their growth. I can honestly say each week, one of my favorite hours is getting to sit down and learn / practice with Travis. Definitely would recommend!

I've been playing guitar for about 15 years self-taught with varying degrees of success. I wanted to create my own music but was struggling to identify the most important things to learn to write music on guitar.Within a few lessons Travis was able to analyze where I was at in my playing and provide me with the exercises I needed to best reach my goals. I've had other guitar lessons in the past, but none as good as those with Travis. I genuinely look forward to my lesson each week. Travis is very passionate about helping his students reach their guitar goals and it shows. Can't recommend him enough!
