Had a great lesson with Sam. He showed me how to visualize the fretboard in a much easier and more concise way. Very good at explaining things in general and cares about the student's progress.

Signing up for guitar lessons at Green Hills Guitar Studio is one of the best decisions I've ever made. If you're looking for personalized music lessons from experienced, knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate musicians in Nashville, I could not recommend this place more highly.

Shane started teaching my daughter @avalivsmusic as a beginner a couple of years ago. As a young artist she needed to be able to play well enough for writing rooms and opening acts without a band. Shane quickly got her where she needed to be and continued to add insight that blesses her songwriting and general career along the way. We highly recommend.

I cannot recommend Sam Farkas enough to any guitarist who is looking to master the instrument. I feel like my ability to navigate the instrument confidently has improved greatly since I've started working with Sam, and the lessons are the highlights of my week. Though he steeps his lessons in a stunning blend of music education, practical gigging wisdom, and a personality you'd want to get a drink with, there is also an indescribable fire lit from the very ability to sit two feet away from and study with such a monster player. Seriously recommend giving this guy a shot if you're serious about getting better. Thanks Sam, -TC

I took lessons with Sam and really enjoyed my time learning from him. I felt like he explained things in a way that made sense to me given my background and where I was musically, both in terms of technical learning and also songwriting. He was able to tailor the lessons for what my specific goals were and we were able to talk about the process of learning and writing music from a philosophical perspective as well when that was needed. He supported me in writing my first song which was a huge milestone. Highly recommend!
