"When you truly love what you do, it's hard not to go that extra mile for your students." - John W. Tuggle

About John W. Tuggle, Athens, GA Online Guitar Instructor

By combining a passion for music and a "never stop learning" attitude, guitar teacher John W. Tuggle provides a unique learning experience for his students. Going that extra mile for his students is not uncommon for John.

John began playing the guitar at the age of 17, and spent his first few years eagerly practicing, hour after hour. During college, he continued his education by studying music theory, jazz guitar, and classical ensemble playing. This broadened his knowledge of the instrument and led to many gigs all over the Southeast with many different style bands.

From country to rock, blues, pop, and R&B, John has performed all types of music for people all over the Southeastern United States. He was the guitar player for Neal Pattman, Georgia blues legend, for a stint where he learned the art of improvisation and playing behind a frontman. He currently plays with the Highballs, a corporate dance and party band, that plays everything from oldies to the 80's, The Heidi Henseley band, a pop rock band out of Athens, Georgia, and occasional session gigs when he finds the time.

Aside from teaching and gigging, John runs a home studio, 3220 Studios, where he records up-and-coming local bands, as well as his own material. John is currently working on his solo album which should be out in the coming year. Matilda, a track he recently finished has been greeted with great reviews.

Teaching guitar came naturally to John early on. After playing the guitar for only 4 years, he began teaching 30 students a week at Jubilee music in Fairhope, Alabama. He now teaches at Musician's Warehouse in Athens, Georgia, where he maintains a large student base. Students come to John because he is a guitar instructor who goes the extra mile for them, and he is a highly regarded guitar teacher in Athens, GA. If you're in the area, contact John for more information about private guitar lessons.

John has put on 4 recitals with his students, showcasing each student's special talent. These guitar recitals enable the student to take the skills learned in their private guitar lessons onto the stage - a true test of their abilities. With Learning Guitar Now, John is able to offer his dynamic guitar instruction to anyone in the world.

In 2007, John released Guitar Method Beginner Book 1. John culls everything he has learned from being a guitar teacher and puts his powerful teaching method into print in this downloadable book. Guitar Method Beginner Book 1 has been widely acclaimed in Athens, and now it's available to you. Get your copy by downloading the ebook right here on this site!

If you need private guitar lessons in Athens, Skype online guitar lessons, downloadable lessons, the learning guitar eBook, or DVD courses, you'll find John's easy-to-follow lessons beneficial whether you are a beginning guitar player, or an old hand looking to improve your skills. Take a look around the site and see what Learning Guitar Now has to offer you. If you're interested in learning slide guitar, blues guitar, or beginner guitar, you have come to the right place.

Hi John! Lovin' the Dickey Betts lesson. Only this last winter did I start to figure out one of my favorite guitarists. You are a great help.

QUESTION: I've discovered that if the song is in say.. key of E, I can use the B pentatonic scale, then transition to the E major scale. Is this something they do a lot? If so, are there "other tricks" like that? Do I have the right idea on this? (I used this on a song I posted I call "Southern Song: Blackwater Sun." If you could take a look and see if I'm on the right track? I started listening to the Bros when I was 7 (1973, when "Brothers and Sisters" came out.) Played for years, but always struggled with their sound until I "discovered that tidbit"

I would greatly appreciate your reply. Thanks so much for the great lessons, too!
