Douglas Lichterman

My guitar lesson with Douglas is the highlight of my week! From the minute I entered his studio 6 months ago, he made me feel at ease to learn and explore the guitar and any other associated musical interests I have. For me, that has meant learning how to write a few songs (blues & country so far) to play and sing with my guitar

I usually don’t perform well in front of people, but he has a way of making you feel comfortable and confident. I look forward to each and every lesson now, and am amazed at my progress. If I have a questions on a lesson, I can call him anytime, or send an email, and he responds to me right away. He lives up to his credentials AND MORE! You will not be disappointed….and did I mention his sense of humor? He always makes me laugh in each lesson. He has saved my life…literally

He has taught me so much about music, guitar and about myself. In a short time I have learned blues, rock, folk and lots of scales and finger picking patterns. His assignments are always challenging and always laced with new techniques and concepts, all designed to make me a better player. He is forever professional, yet friendly; always polite, always respectful and always accommodating.

He is a great instructor! My boyfriend goes to him for guitar lessons, but he helped me with cello lessons as well. Without a doubt, I absolutely recommend him!

Love his style of teaching he is overall the nicest teacher I have ever met and I look forward to every class I go to. I would suggest that if you are learning guitar to try him out as he has help me a lot in my guitar life in such a small amount of time!

I have been taking lessons from Douglas for almost 5 years now and even though i thought i knew how to play before starting lessons, my skills have greatly improved and now feel totally comfortable across the entire neck. from just stating out to improving your skills to become a better player Douglas can take you to that next level. With comfortable one on one lessons he will make you the next great guitar player!

Douglas is a fantastic teacher and very positive with his guidance and instruction. He makes the session very productive and he is a great player and will help you become a better player.

Taking lessons with Douglas has been a game changer for me over the last year and a half. The first lesson we spent time trying to figure out where I was in my skill set. He quickly figured out where I could best focus my time and effort. He's one of the nicest guys I've met in Florida, patient and willing to work on the challenging areas that I'd usually skip or speed through.

He's helped me slow down and play music. He's taken some songs that I had no idea that I could play already. I just needed someone to simplify it, break it down into more manageable pieces. This man has lived a life of music and is kind enough to share his expertise with the world. I've seen him shift from one genre to the next, effortlessly. I leave our sessions excited, wanting to rush home to work on the latest piece, lick, mode, scale etc. I was inspired to improve more in the last year than the previous 3 years combined. He's awesome.
