Mike Owens: Guitar Lessons of Righteousness

Mike Owens was my guitar teacher for 5 years in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I knew nothing about guitar but had always wanted to learn how to play. A friend of mine at the time was taking lessons from him, and told me to give him a call. He was so friendly and after my first lesson I had already learned how to play a song that I really liked. What was great about taking lessons from Mike was that he basically let me learn whatever I wanted to, I learned how to play music I was really interested in and my favorite songs. He taught me how to play guitar exactly the way I wanted to. He let me go at my own pace, but still taught me so much. He’s also such a kind person and an amazing guitarist. I had taken a lot of music lessons before when I used to play the piano and saxophone, but I never had a teacher as friendly, considerate, and knowledgeable as Mike. When he moved away I was a bit disappointed, I tried to take lessons with a new guitar teacher, but he just wasn’t as good and I missed Mike! He was an awesome guitar teacher and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone interested in playing guitar, weather you’ve never touched a guitar or want to get a lot better or just want a cool teacher to jam with.
