I started taking guitar lessons with Eddie several years ago when he was teaching at a location in Buckhead. He opened up Guitar Decatur and I gladly make the commute from the Westside. He's a great guitarist with a nice relaxed teaching style. His passion for teaching, the guitar and music in general is very evident. If you're looking for a teacher to help you grow as a musician or if you're just looking for a new hobby, this is one of the best places around for any musical endeavor.

This little studio in downtown Decatur has some of THE BEST instructors for musicians that I have encountered. Both my older son (guitar) and my younger son (bass) have gone from beginners to advanced players who are both in a band on the side. They give clear instruction, follow up emails on what to work on between lessons, and guidance about fun and level-appropriate music to work on. During the pandemic, David Schroeder even was able to work with my bass-player twice a week, teaching him not only rock but also jazz. Just an incredible group of teachers - I cannot recommend them enough!

I've thoroughly enjoyed taking drum lessons at Guitar Decatur. Eric Sanders is a fantastic instructor. As an adult learning, having only picked up the playing the drums since I turned 40, he's been awesome in helping me build on the basics. I really appreciate his enthusiasm, encouragement, teaching style, and he's a wealth of knowledge!

My daughter has loved taking piano lessons with Matt at Guitar Decatur! The lessons seem to give her a bit of a challenge while keeping things engaging and fun at the same time. Highly recommend this place!
