Mike Karnes Guitar Instruction

Interview

Q: How long have you been playing guitar and how did you get started on that particular instrument?

A: I was 12 years old so that would be 1965. When I started, they didn’t have tab, they didn’t have guitar magazines – if you wanted to play guitar, you just had to figure it out. So I came up through the trenches as far as that goes. Later I went to college and studied music – and I studied with good guitar players – and that helped me get in the position where I had enough knowledge to start teaching.

I have been giving guitar lessons and bass guitar lessons in the Silverdale area for 40+ years. In this time I have developed a unique and highly successful method of teaching guitar that makes learning guitar fun and exciting! My guitar teaching style motivates the student to practice, thereby producing immediate results. Learning guitar or bass should be fun, that’s why they call it «playing» the guitar, not «working» the guitar.
