Are you an aspiring guitarist seeking help with the basics? Does your guitar gather dust because your practice sessions go nowhere? Do you wish you could play around the campfire or join the open jam session at the pub? Are you an intermediate player hoping to round out your skills? Are you an experienced player seeking advice on theory, composition and the finer points of playing? Are you looking for help with reading guitar music? Are you a parent looking for a friendly, patient guitar teacher that won't flake out on your kids, AND knows what he's doing?

I’m Tom LeBlanc, and if you answered yes to any of those questions, I am here to help. I have been helping students of all ages and backgrounds for over 15 years. Regardless if you are just learning your first chord, or if you are mastering the hardest part of the solo from Stairway to Heaven, I've taught it all to hundreds of satisfied students.

Total beginners are totally welcome. My youngest student just turned 6, and my oldest just turned 73.

I can teach any style or skill level, acoustic or electric. I also specialize in music theory and applying it to the guitar, and I can show you how to master the fretboard and play in any key with ease. I can also teach advanced reading techniques for tablature that will help you make short work of intimidating tabs. I can help you bring your playing up to the level where you can go to open jams, join a band, or start your own.

I've played in countless bands over the decades, including several original projects for which I was the principal music-writer, and several cover bands, including a 90's-rock cover band, and tribute bands for both Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.
