Brian Roughton Guitar Studios

"My daughter has been taking guitar lessons from Brian for several years now. He is a skilled guitarist and is always working to take her skills to the next level."

"I had the privilege to take lessons from Brian for the 10 months my father was stationed in Alabama. Brian is an excellent teacher and posses the rare ability to motivate the pursuit of excellence. If you are interested in learning the guitar, I highly recommend Brian Roughton!"

"I had been playing guitar for about 3 years, mainly self-taught, when I began taking lessons from Brian Roughton. At that point, my guitar skills were underdeveloped and I had little direction on how to improve my technique. During the first lesson Brian asked me what type of music I was interested in playing, how long I had been playing, and what my expectations were with respect to learning. He also gave me the option of either focusing more on guitar and music theory or guitar techniques. The next few lessons were tough as I was faced with learning the proper techniques while fighting the temptation to revert back to my self-taught approach. With time, though, I began noticing minor improvements which were quickly followed by dramatic improvements in my skill and the quality of music I was producing. I was amazed with the progress I had made over the next 3 years, attributing my success to Brian's remarkable teaching, his dedication to my music education, and his push for perfection. My only regret was my inability to continue taking lessons from him due to career reasons. I know if I had continued with my lessons I could have unleashed my full potential and become an outstanding musician. However, I still retain the skills I was taught and I continue to strive for personal excellence. I HIGHLY recommend lessons from Brian Roughton to all individuals who are interested in learning guitar or perfecting their existing skills."

"I have played the guitar for nearly a decade. I have had numerous teachers and instructors for the instrument, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Brian is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Brain provides an exceptional amount of information and knowledge for guitar and music that is unrivaled, especially in his area. His Ivy League education in music is apparent without even having to see a degree. More over, he remains patient, understanding, and very efficient in teaching this information - and a wide variety of technical skills - to his students, regardless of age. He will help you not only identify your musical goals, but attain them at an astounding pace of improvement. The best part of his lessons though, is his unique ability to teach you all of this in a fun, accepting, welcoming environment. He has provided me insights to not only my guitar playing, but also music and life in general. You never walk away from a lesson without feeling like you've learned something. I cannot recommend him enough. You won't regret choosing Brian Roughton Guitar Studios."

"Brian is a great music teacher. He's very patient and easy to learn from. He is classically trained with an Ivy League education in guitar performance. Not only did he inspire me to be a great musician, but to be diligent and efficient in my personal life as well. I always thoroughly enjoyed my guitar lessons."
