Northville Guitar Lessons is by far the best place for guitar lessons! Our daughter started lessons at a music place in Plymouth that did not teach her anything. We came to Mr. James at Northville Guitar Lessons where she almost immediately started playing. He truly knows how to teach guitar. Our daughter plays so beautifully now. We highly recommend Mr. James to anyone looking for guitar lessons. He really is the best of the best. Don’t waste your time or money going anywhere else.

I cannot explain how amazing everyone here is. I had a horrible experience at guitar center when I first started learning guitar and then I found Northville Guitar. Emily is amazing to work with and James is an absolutely incredible teacher and an even better human being. If you’ve decided to learn guitar and want to have a ton of fun while learning from the best this is the place.

Northville Guitar Lessons is a fantastic place to learn guitar regardless of your skill level. I'm a beginner as an adult and it's been a fun and comfortable learning environment with Jim, Paul, and Emily all handling things masterfully with students.

There aren't enough stars to give James & Paul... they are amazing instructors and great people. The lessons they give are always building upon your current skills and most importantly, I have a great time. I cannot recommend Northville Guitar enough.

Very pleased. I needed to start learning guitar after a wrist fracture, as well as arthritis, with nerve impingement. Jim is a terrific teacher , as well as, an encouragement. He teaches all age groups, including injured boomers like myself. Just because there is snow on the roof doesn't mean there's not fire in the furnace. Northville Guitar ROCKS!

At the ripe old age of 54, my wife and I decided we wanted to learn to play the guitar. We visited our local Guitar Center and bought a couple of acoustic guitars and some "Teach Yourself" books. It soon became apparent that this process just wasn't going to work for us (something about old dogs and new tricks?). After extensive online research we booked a trial lesson with Northville Guitar Lessons (NGL). After that first visit, we knew we had found our guitar home!The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, patient, and fun, and there's never any pressure to perform at a certain level. Instruction is tailored to where you are on your guitar journey at any particular time, and where you want to go - from never holding a guitar, to in-depth music theory. We highly recommend Northville Guitar to anyone considering guitar lessons, whether you're just starting out, or have been playing for years and want to hone your skills! You can't go wrong!

Before stepping into the doors of Northville Guitar ?, I had no musical ? instrument experience. I showed up with a new guitar and some hope. (Sounds like a country song.) The encouragement and lessons I’ve received from Jim and Paul have helped me not only to learn chords, but how to accent them and use arpeggios. I’ve read that many people don’t continue learning guitar after 6 months, but the way lessons progress and because of the reassurance I get from the staff, I’ve continued. Im an older adult, and this is a great source of enjoyment for me thanks to the great people who work with us there.

I strongly recommend Northville Guitar Lessons to anyone wanting to learn to play. Classes cover all ages -children to adults, and all skill levels - beginners to professionals. Both Jim and Paul are fantastic teachers customizing class content to the skill level and specific goals of the student.NGL moved to an online format during the Covid shutdown providing amazing diversified class content, and a much needed "happy place" during a very stressful time.

Northville Guitar Lessons is the best place I have ever taken lessons!! Instead of just teaching you songs to play, these teachers teach you HOW to play guitar. James Maxwell, the owner and teacher, makes real lesson plans for students and knows exactly where you’re going. I have been playing guitar for about 10 years and was sort of just muddling along. Then I decided to try NGL. What a difference! I’ve learned more in the last year than I did in the previous nine years! It’s like the “give a man a fish” parable. Instead of just working on a specific song with me, they have taught me skills that have allowed me to now learn many songs on my own. They have “ taught me to fish!” I highly recommend you check them out. They are the real deal!!!?

For the past eight years I have learned how to play songs on the guitar. Over the past eight months at Northville Guitar, I have learned how to play the guitar. Jim’s method of teaching makes guitar playing so simple, I’m teaching my eight year old grandson how to play and he’s asking me to teach him.I can’t imagine how much better I would be playing if I would have started out at Northville Guitar.Terry Cannon

My son started 6 months ago. He loves going to guitar lessons at Northville Guitar Lessons. The staff is very organized, supportive, and energetic. They helped me buy the right guitar and provide lots of encouragement to my son. I could not be happier with my choice to send him here for lessons. Amazing folks proving to be great role models!

I got a guitar for my birthday in September because its always been my dream to learn to play, but I wasn't sure where to start. After searching everywhere in the region I discovered Emily and James at Northville Guitar lessons.I had no idea I'd progress as far as I have. It's been only about 6 weeks and I can already play several different versions of chords, arpeggios, picking, rhythm, and a ton more!!I'm so amped I found this place!! Thank you James and Emily! You guys are amazing!
