You Don’t Need More Practice. You Need a Teacher Who Explains It Right.
You have always wanted to play guitar, but with everything going on in a busy life, you’ve never had the chance.
Finally, you’re ready to give it a try. But you have concerns as an adult student. Is it too late to start? Can I even move my fingers that fast to play a song?
Everyone has heard the positive effects music has on the brain. You’ve always wished you could just pick up the guitar and play.
After watching videos, trying TAB, asking A.I., and maybe even buying a chord book, you decide to look for an instructor.
Right off the bat, the teacher is talking to you in another language. “Practice” becomes another word for attempting impossible finger gymnastics. The worst part is you’re not even working on actual songs.
After 3 months, you give up, thinking you’re not musical and you’re wasting you and your instructor’s time.
You never play music again.
Learning an instrument as an adult does not have to be this way!
Adults don’t quit because they’re not musical. They quit because the lessons never made sense.
Over the past ten years, I’ve developed a system that teaches adults real songs and real skills in a way that’s clear, simple, and fun.
How is this possible?
Introducing… The Guitar Lab!
The Guitar Lab is a weekly, accelerated beginner guitar program designed specifically for adult students.
Here, students learn ALL the necessary musical skills needed for playing the songs they love within 1 year of starting.
Some dedicated students have reached proficiency within 8 months!
You learn 43 songs within the first six months of starting.
You’ll have the confidence of learning from an actively working professional musician.
You get twice as much time with the instructor as the average studio – this is one of the secrets to my students’ results.
You’re invited to play at the Lancaster Guitar Showcase, our twice-a-year student concert series, within the first six months.
Within the first year, you’ll learn the skills to:
Play the songs you love
Strum the guitar around the campfire
Feel rhythm
Master the fretboard
Wow your family with your new skills (“Hey, that sounds really good!”)
Pick up and play without music
Play with friends or at church
What to Expect in the Guitar Lab.
Here’s what you get when you join the program:
The Four-Song First Lesson Guarantee
Who says you can’t play a full song in your first lesson? My students go home playing four, on the very first day.
Weekly Accelerated Classes
This is the main way students make progress in this studio. You’ll learn new songs, and build skills and gain confidence in your music each week.
Included: Lesson Companion Method Book Series
This carefully made lesson companion series gives you the skills to play any style, and learn music the right way. Written by a professional musician and teacher, Kyle Hancock (me).
Lancaster Guitar Showcase
Twice a year, my students take the stage, and I invite everyone to watch. Within their first six months, you’re invited to perform at the Lancaster Guitar Showcase, our biyearly student concert series. Wow your family with your new guitar skills!
Intermediate and Advanced Players
Once you reach an intermediate level, the music is yours to choose: classic rock, blues, country, worship, jazz, fingerstyle, and more. I play it all, and if you want to learn it, I’ll teach it.
Advanced players go deeper: fretboard mastery, improvising, writing your own music, reading sheet music, and the music theory that makes it all click.
One adult student started with me as a beginner and now plays jazz. In his words: “Now I know why I’m playing what I’m playing.”
Whether it’s open mic night, jamming with friends, or playing at church, you’ll have the skills to get there.

In the past 10 years, not one student has asked for it!
“When I began guitar lessons many years ago, I would ask my previous teacher to show me how to play a song I selected. His style was chord-melody and he would write out the song for me. I learned some songs that way, but I didn't really know why I was playing certain notes or chords.
Five years ago, I began taking lessons from Kyle and basically started out as a beginner. I told him I was not very good at rhythms, but he was patient and "clapped" me through the hardest ones. I learned some new songs and some jazz standards that I never heard of. We worked through triads, the seven series of chords, and scales. We had many in-depth discussions about what we were working on and music in general.
The best part of taking lessons from Kyle is that now I know why I'm playing what I'm playing. He's a master of the guitar and an expert at music theory.”
