About Douglas
My teaching approach: I've been playing professionally and teaching for over forty years and I am recognized as one of the premier musicians on Long Island. My goal is to instruct you, the student, in the skills necessary to allow you to play the music you wish to play. These skills (and the subsequent flow of most lessons) are addressed as:
* technique
* information
* application.
My studio is a quiet, private, professional environment with state-of-the-art equipment. Electric guitarists and bassists use my amplifiers (a separate amp for student and teacher) and, when appropriate, my wide range of pro effect. My influences are: The great improvisors and composers, from Bach and Chopin to Loius Armstrong and John Coltrane, from Jerry Garcia to Robert Fripp. I also love the great songwriters - Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Pink, Billie Joe Armstrong - and music for theater and movies.
My guitar lessons take place in my studio in St. James NY or at my home in Sound Beach NY.My schedule can be accessed on my web site: (concealed information) Guitar
I am passoinate about (and excel at) the following techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerstyle, Slide Guitar, Vocal Accompaniment, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Guidance In Equipment Selection.
Before your first guitar lesson with me, I like to have a conversation with you about your musical aspirations and frustrations, and what you hope to gain through focused, guided instruction. Once lessons begin, I will try to assess your skills: your comfort with the physical instrument, your knowledge of (and execution of) musical information, and your clarity of purpose. Broadly speaking, I focus on three areas of skill: Technique - the skill of the hands and body. Reliable technique transcends style and performance. Information - the skill of the mind. This includes naming notes and writing music, pattern recognition and the ability to think ahead and make creative leaps in playing. And application - the skill of the heart. This clarifies what the student desires: songs, chords, licks, improvising techniques, etc.
It's called PLAYING music for a reason.

Doug is an exceptional instructor and an incredible musician - this man is a true musical genius! I had the great fortune to study guitar with Doug for several years; he is a patient and passionate teacher who has an astounding knowledge of music theory, among other things. I miss taking lessons with him and wish I still lived nearby so that I could continue to learn from his expertise!
Doug is an outstanding guitar teacher. He's also a terrific guitar technician. He is one helluva guitar player too!
After being away from the bass for many years, Douglas helped me get reacquainted with the instrument and now I am back playing in a band and gigging regularly.
Douglas is not only an incredible teacher, but he exudes his love and knowledge of music. His passion keeps my son engaged and eager to continue improving and enjoying playing guitar!
Amazing guitar instructor. Very knowledgeable and patient with students. You can't go wrong with this man.
In addition to being a great musician, Doug is one of the smartest people I know. I am an older student who never had a background in music but wanted to learn. Doug is extremely patient with me and takes the time to explain musical concepts in terms I can understand.
Doug is not only a great guitarist, but he is also a great teacher. He is a master of many different styles of playing, and he'll teach you the basics as well. I highly recommend him!
I studied bass with Doug for two years. He was highly recommended by a friend. Through a lens that supported my personal musical interests, he helped develop my technique, aided in preparing me for my school jazz band, and gave me a strong music theory foundation. I entered college ahead of many of my peers in performance ensemble. I highly recommend studying with Douglas Baldwin.
