A word from Travis: 

“My approach as a professional artist and musician gives me a unique perspective towards the world of guitar and how it connects to music as a whole. My mission in our lessons is to meet you where you're at and further develop within you that sense of curiosity, excitement and confidence that will drive your relationship with your instrument. Wherever you are along the path there's always something new to discover, and as a teacher, I live for those vicarious 'a-ha' moments that I share with my students."
