About John | Holt Guitar Studio

Thank You For Considering John Holt Guitar Studio!

My name is John Holt and I have been teaching people how to play the guitar for over 15 years.

I am originally from northern Virginia, but lived in North Carolina and Charlottesville before my family and I moved to Mechanicsville in 2020. We have a dog named Taylor, who frequently pops into lessons to listen to a couple tunes.

I love teaching people how to play the guitar and enjoy working with everyone individually to learn your interests and what I can do to help you learn to play.

Learn a Variety of Music Styles

If there is a style you want to learn, I can teach it to you! I have taught many private students of all ages and backgrounds in the following styles:

Classical
Jazz
Blues
Folk
Country
Bluegrass

Worship
Rock
Music theory
Songwriting
Production/recording
Improvisation

In addition to traditional private lessons, I also teach guitar using the Suzuki guitar method to many young students between the ages of 4 and 12. Contact me for lesson availability, rates, or any other questions.
