Mastering the guitar is hard.
First of all, what does “mastering the guitar” even mean? I've been teaching guitar for two decades and I still don't know. I would suggest it means something different to everyone.
You are truly unique. No one likes exactly the same music. No one has exactly the same goals. So you shouldn’t learn exactly the same as everyone else. Focus only on what gets you closer to your personal holy grail of guitar playing.
My guide for new players
There are millions of resources out there. I wrote this to help you figure out where to start. A few basics, plus a list of all my favorite tips, pages, teachers and links. Find it on the lesson page, or click here.
Dru Davis is an excellent teacher, one of the best I've ever had. He helped lay the foundations for my life long obsession with music. No matter how much experience you have, Dru will help you unlock that next level in your playing

Dru does a really wonderful job at gearing your lessons towards what you want to focus on. He is a wonderful artist in all regards, so if you're hoping to also sing and play, he's great for that too. Highly, highly recommend!

I took lessons from Dru for years in college. Can’t really thank him enough for how much he helped me develop as a player!

Dru has been teaching my son guitar for several years. He is methodical yet fun in his approach. My son loves his lessons and has come so far in his skills!

Hi, I'm Dru Davis
I've been helping people play guitar for 20 years.
My students, many of whom started from scratch, have gone on to perform at live shows, join their church's worship team, write songs, and record albums.

I've done a lot of performing as well. To hear my music, check out the Music page. You can also hear my songs on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, or wherever you stream music.
