Frequently Asked Questions
All instruction at Axtreme Guitar is in small group settings. You’ll receive personalized attention within the group, plus you’ll benefit from learning alongside others. Private lessons are not currently available.
Absolutely! Most of our students start as complete beginners. You’ll be placed in a group with others at your level, so everyone learns together. No one gets left behind.
Class sizes are kept small to ensure personalized attention—typically ranging from 3-10 students depending on the time slot and skill level. This allows for individual coaching while maintaining the collaborative benefits of group learning.
I focus exclusively on group instruction because it produces better long-term results—students stay motivated, progress faster, and develop real performance skills. If you’re only interested in private lessons, I’m happy to refer you to other local instructors who specialize in that format.
Weekly group classes, access to 69+ video lessons, 653 song tabs and practice materials, weekly “Learning Moments” audio tips, practice tracking tools, and performance showcase opportunities twice per year.

Bio
I Began Playing Guitar in 1994
and knew right away that it was my calling. In October of 2019, I founded Axtreme Guitar, a guitar teaching business located near Boston, Massachusetts.
In addition to teaching, I am also a performer and enjoy composing original music and collaborating with others. I am committed to helping each of my students reach their full potential as a guitarist and fostering a love of music that will last a lifetime.
Our vision is to be the premier destination for guitar
education, known for our exceptional instructor (who is also the owner and
operator) and our highly comprehensive curriculum. We envision a future where all of our
students have the skills, confidence, and love for music to pursue their
musical dreams and make a positive impact in their communities through the
power of guitar. We strive to foster a love of music with a lifelong appreciation for the arts in all of our students. Through the guidance and
expertise of a dedicated owner-instructor, your student will be set on a path toward achievable results!
Community
In addition to offering local group classes and online resources, I am also actively involved in the local community providing after school programs and performing at local churches, bringing the joy of music to people of all ages.

Testimonial
What Students Are Saying…
We are so grateful to have found Kurt. Kurt does an amazing job keeping my son engaged. He is mindful and responsive. We are very grateful for all the effort and care that he has poured into our son.
He presents a variety of material that challenges but does not overwhelm me. He offers multiple approaches to conquer the many stumbling blocks that learning the guitar presents. I strongly recommend him for both children and adults.
He will go according to your speed and has a flexible teaching style that allows you to explore/pursue your musical interests while also cultivating the necessary fundamental skills to progress as a musician. I highly recommend Kurt as a guitar teacher!
Kurt listened to my goals and interests and that day I left with a practice schedule and chord tabs to start learning. Kurt has great tips and techniques for getting past tough hurdles. I'm learning a lot and really enjoying playing!
We went over power chords and Nirvana songs and he practices with me slowly to make sure I get it right!
Once I started taking lessons from Kurt, I started becoming more motivated to play and learn about the guitar. Everything that I have learned has been so useful. He is a great guitar teacher!
He is very patient and has helped me find motivation through great ways to practice and improve, while keeping it fun and interesting. My playing ability improved quickly after only a few lessons!
Kurt is a great guitar player and an awesome guitar instructor. I was directionless when I first started to play and had no idea what I should practice. Kurt helps create detailed study plans, breaks down chords of challenging songs into understandable and doable pieces.
He’s also very patient and encouraging. He helped me play songs I thought would be impossible for me to play. I highly recommend Kurt for guitar lessons!
Kurt makes the lessons enjoyable. He is a very patient instructor with me, and as an older student with old fingers, he allows me to work within my skill level and then Kurt pushes me a little harder to show me that anyone with the correct instruction and patience can reach his or her potential.
He also goes the extra mile in supplemental material and videos so you can learn at your pace. I will highly recommend Kurt (Axtreme-Guitar) to others for guitar lessons!
I was so grateful for the times he would do demos for me over Zoom to give clear examples, provide very detailed lesson plans for each week to practice, and encourage and push me if I ever felt discouraged. I remember seeing quite a difference in my playing in just two weeks because of all of these things.
Kurt is someone who is sincerely willing and committed to walk with his students on their journey of guitar playing, and I truly could not have asked for a better instructor. Thank you so much, Kurt. You're amazing.
