Kirk Tatnall

I got some guitar lessons as a gift for the holidays and have been loving them! With working retail my schedule can be pretty hectic, but luckily Kirk has online lessons that fit my schedule perfectly! Not only is the scheduling great, but he is also very patient. I have never learned an instrument before and it is going well because of his patience!

Kirk is a great musician who makes learning guitar techniques accessible for all levels of students. He is always positive and encouraging. The video platform is so convenient. I love not having leave my house and park. I've also recommended Kirk to friends who live outside of the area. I highly recommend Kirk as an instructor!

Learning guitar for the first time in my 40s could have been painful and demoralizing. Kirk as been a wealth of knowledge regarding both technique and musical theory. Never having played a stringed instrument, I was skeptical that I could learn virtually, or that Kirk would be able to see my strings and hand position, but he always knows if I have it right or wrong. Kirk is just simply a nice human and has been a joy to work with.

In the past year, 2021, Kirk has upped his guitar teaching game by using personalized instructional videos that he makes specifically for me on what I need to work on that week. He uploads them to YouTube & sends emails them to me directly at the end of the session. I then can use them during the week to help guide my practice sessions. Amazing! This guy is a great teacher! Kirk is the best guitar teacher I've ever had!

He was recommended to me by my guitar guru friend, Jack Grassel, for his excellent online teaching skills. I am very honored to now be one of Kirk's students. Jack calls him "one of the best guitar players in world". Jack would know about that. All I know is that he is a nice guy and a very prepared & conscientious instructor. I am learning about the electric guitar and music like never before.

Taking online lessons with Kirk through Skype has really helped me improve as a guitarist and musician, overall would highly recommend Kirk as a guitar teacher!

I chose to start lessons with Kirk last year and my musical development and guitar skills have grown exponentially over that time. Kirk is a talented guitarist who has the ability to make learning the guitar both accessible and fun. Also, with the Zoom/virtual lessons it is highly convenient. It is on the student to listen and practice as much as possible, but Kirk will give you all the tools you need to improve.

He has a patient friendly demeanor, and he provides structured lessons but also is adaptable. Simply put he is an effective and fun teacher. Do yourself a favor and sign up with him before his schedule is too full.

All the stellar reviews you are reading on this site are spot on. I was searching online for a guitar instructor that could help me take my playing to a new level. I played for many years but longed for the ability to solo, correct mistakes I was making from being self-taught and explore different forms of music. After a few months of highly effective video lessons over Zoom I find myself encouraged, challenged, supported and inspired. Kirk has a unique gift of combining his expertise, stellar playing and clear love of music into a teaching style that is highly effective and motivational. If you are looking either to start playing or take yourself up to higher levels of performance you have found the right place.

I took virtual lessons with Kirk, and while I had some doubts about the platform, I can say they were effective and I got a lot out of it. Kirk's also incredibly patient and took the time to answer my questions, which helped to improve my understanding of music. Above all, he made learning fun with his enthusiasm and teaching methods. Highly recommend.

I have had the opportunity to work with Kirk for 5 months now. Kirk is an amazing guitar player and teacher who is patient, adapts his teaching approach to the student, and makes learning to play guitar a lot of fun. Every session I learn something new which makes me enthusiastic to practice in between lessons. I highly recommend Kirk for guitar lessons to anyone!

Kirk Tatnall Guitar is new to the Village of Tosa, but he has been playing guitar for 39 years (since he was 3) - think Summerfest, State Fair, Summer Sizzle, Jazz Estate, Caroline's, Vino 100, Milwaukee Ale House, etc. Kirk is not new to teaching guitar and bass. He has been teaching for over 20 years. He is the most patient teacher I have ever met.
