Experience the benefit of taking guitar lessons with Ben McMullan.
"Ben’s skills and knowledge continue to amaze me. Simply put, I think Ben is the best guitar educator in Calgary and have no hesitation to recommend him to anyone wishing to move their guitar playing into the next echelon. He helped me improve my understanding of music and my ability to play guitar far more than any previous instructor I have had. Ben helped me better understand and play classical, flamenco, rock, and country songs; and my friends and family have commented on how much my playing has improved. Thanks Ben!"

"I have had the pleasure of taking guitar lessons from Ben and have no hesitation endorsing his teaching skills to my friends. He is creative, patient, passionate about his subject and keenly interested in teaching his students the intricacies of the guitar. His theory lessons are very understandable, and I increased my understanding of music in the most satisfactory way owing to his instruction."
- Ross Mutton, Calgary, AB
"I started lessons with Ben after spending two years teaching myself guitar and reading sheet music from no prior experience. While I got myself to a point where I could read basic music and play basic chords or simple melodies, I found I wasn’t making much progress and didn’t know how to take it further. Ben was able to address various issues ranging from adjusting my guitar, proper picking and fretting for smoother playing, techniques for different musical genres, to music theory questions… with interesting historical info thrown in from time to time. I’d say I got a very well-rounded experience from my lessons with him, and appreciated his ability to explain (rather than just demonstrate) the techniques necessary to advance my guitar playing."
