All County Guitar was established in 1977 by Dan Blum, Instructor. Dan has developed his own system of teaching guitar, which is based on two fundamental ideas:
During his first phone conversation with you, Dan will ask you to prepare a list of your 10 favorite songs to give to him during your first (free) lesson. He will then arrange these songs from the simplest to the most complex, and these are the songs that you will learn!
In addition, Dan has learned during his many years of teaching that an approach which is successful in teaching one person a style or technique might not work for someone else -- therefore, Dan's patient teaching style, refined over decades, is geared towards adjusting to each student's unique way of learning and processing information -- helping you to learn the songs you love while feeling totally relaxed in the process. Students never feel pressured or rushed -- you are learning guitar to enjoy yourself, and that is Dan's goal as well!
Dan has been my guitar teacher for three years and I couldn't have been happier with my choice. Over this time I have learned over fifty songs including the vocals. Dan exerts no pressure and allows me to proceed at my own pace creating short cuts for difficult chords when necessary particularly during the first year. He has an uncanny ability to orchestrate song videos into easy to understand chords, strum and pic sequences.
Dan and I have become good friends - he even played at my daughter's wedding!
