Stephen Long
Acoustic Guitar. Electric Guitar
"I want lessons for my students to be fun and challenging. I'll help you learn songs you've always wanted to know how to play, grow your skills with fundamentals and techniques, or even help you write the songs you have in your head but can't quite play."
My passion for music began at an early age. I started learning classical piano when I was 5 and took lessons for over 12 years. In middle school I picked up guitar and started learning every song I could. I also played in several bands, some which went on national tours, recorded several records, and had the opportunity to play with some of the bands that were huge influences to me.
