Strummer Boy
In your dreams, you look like Gisele, dress like Kate, and play guitar like Jimi.
The first two may never happen (and just stop, because you look great), but you can chip away at the third with help from guitar teacher Fred Boette.
The master musician teaches rock, blues, and country, though his passion is classical (think Segovia, not “Stairway”). No, you won’t be kissing the sky right off the bat, but if you’re older than 5 and have the right instrument, Boette can teach you to play.
Lessons are usually once a week for half an hour and he can come to you, so there are no excuses for skipping out. Chances are you won’t be making any: Boette loves what he does (you can catch him strumming around town or hire him for a special event) and his one burning desire is for you to love the guitar, too.
Foxy.
