Guitar Lessons
This picture was taken at Jack White's (The White Stripes, Dead Weather, Raconteurs) guitar shop and studio in Nashville, TN. I'm actually playing one of Jack's old guitars!!
This is my dad playing guitar to me as a young pup. I think this must have been the time that guitar started to make an impact on me!
About the Lessons...
​
Hi there! My name is Rusty Collins and I provide guitar lessons for all ages and abilities. I've been playing the guitar since I was a teenager and formed my first band in high school. Then I was in a few college bands, had kids, gave up live music, and have since honed my skills over the last 25 years. My guitar playing was born with the Blues; then it kick started with Rock-n-Roll, electric guitars, feedback and volume; and continued evolving through jamming, acoustic, finger picking, 12-string, bass guitar, and ukulele.
All of my lessons are catered to the student and where they are at knowledge and ability wise. I am very patient and am a good teacher and communicator, plus I am a lot of fun! I'm a good listener and will teach you what you want to learn.
All Ages and Abilities!!
​Lessons are either located at my house in Commerce City, or I can come to your home for an additional trip fee.
​
Your First Lesson is Free!!

All lessons are $50 for a one hour lesson. Discounts are available for lesson packages or multiple family members. I accept Venmo, Zelle, and cash.

I'm pretty sure this is a picture from the Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas - some Blues greats!
My wife, Aly, and I were rocking out to "Footloose" one night at a pool party on a cruise ship!
