“I have known Eric for many years as a performer and have always found the music he writes and his guitar craft second to none I know. Over the years I have had many conversations on how he approaches playing and how he gets the unique sounds out of his guitar.
Being a guitar player and songwriter myself, I have wanted to expand my knowledge and play guitar more freely like Eric. When I found out that he was giving lessons I jumped at the chance to learn from a master guitarist. Over the last few months, I have seen his knowledge on music and how much he knows and how I am starting to absorb some of this information. Because of this, I am starting to have some confidence on soloing and seeing the fretboard in a different way. Not only am I learning better guitar techniques, I am also learning about the music business. I have even created a new song because of the changes that Eric has shown on what music is and how notes and chords are related.
Every lesson I cannot wait to take and it seems to be over way too soon. I will be taking lessons from Eric for as long as I can and as long as he keeps teaching. He is a patient teacher and just a great person all around. Thank you Eric for making me a better musician and helping me start my professional career! – John Matthews. Chicago, Il.
“Eric’s remarkable teaching ability has all to with his incredible knowledge of the guitar and inate ability to know what is needed. A truly gifted musician and teacher. An hour session feels like 5 minutes. Always inspiring!”- Jeffrey Byington, CT.
“There are a lot of different muscles that are involved in teaching music. Eric Donnelly has all of them. Not only is he a first class musician and writer himself, but he has the touch of communication required to make musical education fun. Whether he’s helping me learn how to play my own songs better, or teaching my children how to build great habits, he brings joy to the process.” -Stephen Kellogg, CT.
“Eric Donnelly is a patient and considerate teacher. I started learning guitar from him with hardly any background knowledge, and he immediately made it fun by asking about songs I was interested in, and showing me different ways to play them. I am always excited for a lesson with him because I know not only that I will be learning and expanding my ability to play, but also because I know that he will keep my interests at heart.”
-Sophia Kellogg, CT.
