"Martin Taylor is one of the most awesome solo guitar players in the history of the instrument. He's unbelievable" -- Pat Metheny

Learn directly from one of the acknowledged masters of solo and fingerstyle jazz guitar for a fraction of what a private lesson would cost. The Martin Taylor Guitar Academy offers guitar instruction on the most innovative technology platform available. Respected, award-winning guitarist Martin Taylor offers more than 100 HD video lessons, ranging from beginners’ basics to advanced techniques. But that’s only the beginning; students at all levels can interact directly with Martin via video exchanges.

Unlike other video-based sites, MTGA offers much more than one-sided learning. Each student has opportunities to send Martin webcam videos of themselves practicing, which are personally reviewed, then paired with video responses containing Martin’s individualized instruction. Both videos are posted for the entire community as “Video Exchanges”. (For the easily intimidated: while video posting is rewarding for students at all levels, it’s not a requirement.) The academy also offers a robust social media environment, including Student Profile Pages, messaging, Forums and chat, so the community can learn together in a self-paced fashion and in one central place.
