 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Unbelievable Results!  After only a month of lessons, my daughter has learned more from HGA than from all the other individuals we've tried before.  Chris has developed a system that has proven results and has kept my daughter growing in her knowledge and ability and most importantly she is loving every lesson!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris is an awesome guitar instructor and works one-on-one with his students. He works off of a binder that has different levels the students can climb in experience. I highly recommend choosing
His class for guitar lessons. My daughter has progressed a lot playing her guitar in the small amount of time we have been going.

Multiple Convenient Locations!

We offer tons of fun Guitar Focus Areas

How will you level up?

Lead Guitar Technique

Ranging from fiery passages from Van Halen to melodic "slow hand" like Eric Clapton, develop your chops and play those amazing solos effortlessly!

"Practical" Music Theory

Instead of learning a bunch of theory "just because," we focus on teaching you the stuff that will actively make a difference in your playing! Imagine knowing how to effortlessly create progressions and solos instead of wasting time on obscure things that 97.3% of guitar players will never need to use.

Rhythm Guitar Technique

Whether it's strumming for campfire acoustic songs, or laying down amazing metal riffs, you gotta be able to hold down the rhythm!

Personal Setlist (Repertoire)

It's important that in addtion to learning lots of techniques, scales, chords, theory, etc that you also spend time playing songs you like. Having fun is important to continuing progress over the long-haul!

Improvisation

One of the most fun and best ways to test your working ability and practical knowledge is to learn and practice the art of improvisation. Whether it's ripping solos or basic melodies, this is a great area to work on to get those creative juices flowing!

Playing with others

At the end of the day, music is kind of boring if it's just you playing to a wall. One of the main areas we dedicate a good bit of time to is being comfortable in group settings!

Danny Kirkpatrick

Young Rockstar Creation Specialist. Nearly 30 years playing. 8 years teaching at HGA. Danny plays weekly with the Brookwood Baptist worship band and lives in classic rock territory (that's him playing Paradise City in the photo). Where Chris is intense and direct, Danny is patient and steady. He's the instructor parents request when their kid learns better with a softer approach.

Chris Hirsch

Head Instructor & Owner. 23 years playing. 15 years teaching. Roughly 2,000 students taught since opening HGA in 2015. Chris built the academy because he was tired of guitar lessons that started with Twinkle Twinkle. His students learn Van Halen instead. Married with two young kids, trains MMA on the side, and will absolutely destroy you at Super Smash Bros.
