Intro to Jazz Guitar Class
"Starting Jan. 12, 2012 @ The Troubadour (541) 752-7720"


"As-Good-As-It-Gets Guitar Instruction"

Who is Tom Demarest?

Mine is a serious, common sense approach to guitar instruction based on
traditional music theory applied to contemporary styles of music.
My unique method has proven to be very successful in addressing what
I believe is what most contemporary guitarists would say is the
most valuable thing they want to get from taking lessons ...

"I want to learn to play what I want to play the way I want to play it!"

"I want to understand what I'm doing and why I'm doing it!"

You will find helpful information via my method,  no matter
what style of music you wish to pursue regardless of the
skill level at which you are presently functioning .

The concept of applying traditional, classical theory to contemporary
music may seem like a contradiction, but I have found it to be
the fastest, most effective method of learning.

No matter whether you are wanting to play...
rock, folk, blues, country, jazz, bluegrass, reggae or
" alternative-punk-grunge with a funkadelic twist"... theory applies.

In short... in order to have fun playing,
a universal goal of all guitarists, one must get serious.
That's why I entitled my beginners book ...

"Your Guitar,
A Serious Approach To Playing It For Fun"

My intermediate book is called

"The Good Book For Serious Players Only"

Link to Class Information

Beginning Mandolin
Will be offered later this academic year. Check the LBCC Schedule of Classes as each term approaches

The class is designed for the complete beginner but it covers a tremendous amount
of information that has proven valuable to many intermediate players
who have taken the class as a motivational, refresher course.

  Private Lesson's through Linn-Benton Commuinty College
Students register for a term of study through Linn Benton Commuinty College Music Department.
This enables students to have the class appear on their college transcripts and often
to be financed through their financial aid. Students register at their own choice of skill level.
Through the course of a school year, a serious student can complete
the beginning, intermediate, and advanced series of lessons.
