Guitarist & Instructor Jeff Swanson
Welcome to the site! I started playing the guitar 30 years ago and have been teaching guitar professionally
for the last 20 years. Teaching guitar lessons for 17 years in Greensboro, NC, 3 years in FL and I'm currently
giving lessons at The Music Loft, located in Greensboro, NC.
Starting at the
age of 12, I picked up the guitar and never really put it down. After many years of lessons and various schooling, I started my teaching career at the early age of 20 in Lakeland, FL. In the early days,
I spent most of my time teaching guitar lessons and doing studio work
on the side when the opportunity presented itself.
I
later took time off from teaching and recording so I could focus on
the next level of my profession which took me all over the Southeast
with Florida based band "Gunfighter". Also having the opportunity
of opening for various national acts including; Pantera,
Robin
Trower, Jeff
Healey, etc. while touring.
After
touring for a number of years, I relocated back to North Carolina and
started teaching private lessons & recording again and have been doing so ever since.
So take a few moments and look around the site... There are sections
showcasing some of my music, video clips, my teaching philosophy/methods,
rate and scheduling information and contact area. Also, feel free
to contact me with any questions that you may have and I'll be happy
to answer them for you.
I am also putting together a Student Forum, located on this site, for current students. This will allow students to interact and learn even more and share information. I will also be posting, in the near future, audio and video pertaining to current lesson plans to help students with "at home" practice.
