Gary Wingrove
Distance: mi
Guitar Center Arlington 721 Ryan Plaza Drive Arlington, TX
Currently working on my undergraduate at Tarrant County College. Specializing in jazz guitar including playing in the big band. I’ve played in a variety of styles including punk, rock, jazz, blues, and country, as well as playing in a number of church worship bands. Favorite Musicians: Slim Cessna’s Auto Club, Buck Owens, Albert Lee, Chet Atkins, Tom Waits, Nick Cave, Yes, Ernest Tubb, Johnny Hiland, First Song Learned: House of the Rising Sun Why I Love Music: It’s such a great medium of expression that goes beyond just the artist. A person who doesn’t even play can continue to recreate what they’ve heard in their own head. To me this is why music is so universal and such an inherent part of our being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
