About Us

NESSI, or New England Sound Services, Inc., is the successor of TucsonGuitar.Com. We cater to a limited roster of up to 20 students of all ages and experience levels in the Lewiston/Auburn area by offering guitar lessons in various styles. Our guitar teacher, with 28 years of experience in teaching and 35 years in playing the instrument, has helped his students achieve professional careers like Signals Midwest, Turkuaz, The Bottom Dollars, Kayla Silverman, The Skatastrophes, and The Austin Bats. Others have performed locally or have learned to enjoy playing their instruments more deeply.

Aside from guitar lessons, we also provide recording, mixing, and mastering services, as well as lessons in bass guitar, Pro Tools, songwriting, music theory, beatmaking, and composing for film.

Our Mission

We strongly believe in teaching students based on their interests and strengths, which requires a lot of research, study, and practice. The artists we've influenced demonstrate the wide range of styles that we offer, thanks to the distinct personalities we’ve encountered. We take pride in learning from all of our students.

Classes

Private lessons are available until June 15, 2023, priced at $25/half hour and $45/hour. We may consider group lessons after the said date if it aligns with the students' interest and logistics. Our rates for other services are also competitive and are based on the client's needs.

Although I've always been passionate about music, my previous teachers failed to connect with my musical preferences during lessons. Each session was solely focused on music theory, devoid of any personalization. However, everything changed when I came across Ian, who adopted a unique teaching methodology that centered around playing music that spoke to me. Ian's approach was straightforward yet effective; he tailored his lessons to suit my interests, allowing me to learn some impressive melodies and develop a better understanding of theory while doing so. Unfortunately, when Ian relocated, I struggled to find a tutor with comparable musical knowledge and a positive attitude towards teaching. Therefore, if you're contemplating guitar lessons, Ian is your guy!

My guitar instructor in Tucson was Ian and under his guidance, I rediscovered my passion for playing music. He made the process enjoyable and relaxed, yet he also encouraged me to maintain good habits. I wholeheartedly endorse him and would recommend him without hesitation.
