As someone who has been playing music for almost two decades, there is nothing more gratifying than hearing yourself play a song that moves and inspires you. It is my pleasure to impart this knowledge to students of all ages. Assisting individuals in learning music is an amazing and invaluable experience for me. In addition to teaching guitar playing, I also provide instruction on music theory and songwriting for beginners. Whether it's learning a particular playing style, soloing, a favorite genre, or just for fun, I provide comprehensive instruction tailored to each individual's needs.
Although I offer virtual guitar lessons only, I also provide additional services such as coaching and weekly check-ins that are detailed on my website.

Dan has been an absolute pleasure to work with during the few lessons we've had so far. He is consistently punctual, upbeat, and accommodating, even going as far as to work with multiple of my children at a moment's notice. His patience and excellent communication skills have made him an excellent teacher. I am excited to witness the progress my children will make under his guidance.

Dan is an outstanding teacher who offers unparalleled explanations, guidance, and expertise on the guitar. He is also a lot of fun to hang out with during our hour-long lessons, making learning a great time. Remarkable progress was made within the first three lessons alone.
Additionally, Dan is punctual and provides excellent follow-up instructions after each lesson. Luckily, I can still attend his lessons even while traveling through his online setup.
I highly recommend Dan for anyone looking for an exceptional guitar teacher.

As a retired middle and high school teacher, I have recently started taking guitar lessons from Dan. Although I tend to shy away from playing the piano, I may give it a try with Dan since he also teaches piano. Exciting! Dan possesses many qualities that make my guitar lessons enjoyable and fun. He is always willing to answer my questions and cater to my needs. Whenever I express interest in learning a challenging song, Dan rearranges it so that I can still master it. Furthermore, his positive attitude, cheery demeanor, tranquil composure, and endless patience make him an exceptional teacher. Thank you, Dan!

Dan Essaf's music lessons have helped my 10-year-old daughter thrive and develop a deep passion for music. Beyond guitar basics, he's instilling a genuine love for the art form. My daughter eagerly anticipates each weekly lesson, and I value the helpful email follow-ups with tips for supporting her musical growth. We highly recommend Dan Essaf's Music.
