Hi, Susan Palmer here. I've been teaching guitarists for most of my life...

...including 12 years at Seattle University as an Adjunct Professor. I wrote The Guitar Lesson Companion method book series to help make it easier for students to learn the fundamentals of music, and my method books are used by thousands of guitarists worldwide. I have shaped my career around accessibility and sustainability, for students and teachers, which is why I offer a Free 5 Year Online Course and I partner with other teachers to help them build their studios. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to sign up for guitar lessons, or if you have questions about the method books, and enjoy the resources I've shared on the site!
