Private Guitar Lessons take place in a comfortable music studio located in Keller Texas. Students are given the opportunity to play with backing tracks ( drums, bass, keyboards ) in the actual studio itself to get the hands on experience of what it is like playing with a real live band. Concentration is focused on Ear training, Music Theory, Modes, Songwriting, Technique and more. |
Meet the Teacher |
My name is Derek Neece. I teach Private Guitar lessons in my home studio which resides in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I have been playing 25 years and professionally for 15 years. I have had the experience of playing in bands ranging in styles from Rock, Metal, Blues, Jazz, Fusion, Top 40 and Country . I have had the fortunate opportunity to work in top professional music studios and with award winning producers including Sterling Winfield of Pantera fame and Mitch Marine from Smash Mouth and Dwight Yokum. I have had my music played on 97.1 KEGL and 102.1 the EDGE. As of more recent, I was featured in Guitar Player magazine. |

After only a few lessons with Derek, I noticed big changes in my playing. I like his approach to teaching because it pushes me to do my best. He has a thorough knowledge of music theory that dovetails nicely with his mastery of techniques covering a wide range of musical genres. He is an incredible guitararist and can help you develop your chops regardless of your level. Sincerely, |

AC/DC has been a big influence on my life so I decided I wanted to become just like my hero Angus Young. I picked up a guiter and I wanted to play but I didnt have a teacher and I found Derek. Derek is as good as it gets. He is a great guy I have a blast with him and when me and him get playing we get down and pumped. He is a great teacher, knows what he is talking about and is freakin amazing on the guitar. He is the best teacher I could ask for and I am glad he is teaching me. Thanks a lot Derek, |

He is a great musician, and can help anyone better achive their goals with playing the guitar. Thanks so much Derek, Paige |

After a couple of years of constantly struggling to learn and understand guitar, I found Derek's ad. I have worked with other teachers before, but never seemed to make any progress. Derek is helping me to focus and find myself as a guitarist. I have learned and progressed more in the past few months of working with Derek than I have at any other time. He places a focus on how and why a song is written as it is, as well as how to play the song. Derek is an infinite source of information regarding all things music and guitar. I look forward to a long working relationship. Thanks so Much, |

Hi, Derek. Kent really enjoyed his guitar lesson tonight even though he may not show it. He said he 'loved it!' and wants to skip the Main Event (only night event that he wanted to attend) and go to your guitar lesson instead. So if you have an opening tonight, let me know.

I believe I've found a guitar teacher who cares enough for his students and has the passion and desire to teach his students to succeed in music and in life. I've so many questions about guitar and how music theory works. Derek really helps me so much and I understand so much more then ever before. I am always looking forward to my lesson, cause I always learn something new every week. If any one is interested and wants to really learn guitar, give Derek a try and you might get more then you bargained for. Thanks Derek for everything! |

No Contract!
Most guitar instructors, music academies, music stores and the like require you to sign contracts, pay registration fees, tuitions, advanced month to month payments with only 1 lesson makeup per every 6 weeks. I don't do contracts at this time. I simply go on the good faith that you realize that my main source of income is teaching music, and you come to me because you're serious enough to want to learn your instrument very well.

Custom Guitar Lesson Videos |
| In addition to private guitar instruction, I offer my students custom made videos tailored to their current learning needs. Prices range from $15-$50 depending on length and time invloved to produce the video lesson. Below is a sample video I made for one of my students. |
| I have an absolute passion for music and teaching. I have had beginner students that were playing in bands after only 5 months studying with me. I enjoy teaching and playing all genres of music. My students often say that they never have had the kind of teaching experience that I offer them. If you have the drive, I am in full confidence that I can take you to the level of guitar playing that you are seeking. |
