Are You Practicing — But Not Sure It's Working?
Most guitarists aren't short on material. YouTube has more lessons than you could watch in a lifetime. The problem isn't access to information. It's knowing what you should be working on right now — and whether it's actually moving you forward.
That's what Office Hours is for.
What Is Office Hours?
Office Hours is a monthly membership built around a live weekly group coaching call on Zoom.
Each week, you can:
Submit a question in advance (so you're guaranteed time even if you can't attend live)
Ask in the moment during the call
Play something and get direct feedback on it — or just listen and learn from what others are working through
All calls are recorded and posted in the Essential Skills Studio, so nothing falls through the cracks if you can't make it live.
This isn't another course. There's no curriculum to work through. It's ongoing guidance — a place to check in, get unstuck, and make sure the time you're putting in is pointed in the right direction.
Who It's For
Office Hours is for guitarists who are putting in the work but aren't sure they're working on the right things.
You probably have some experience. You're not a complete beginner. But you feel like you've been spinning your wheels, and you know that having someone actually look at what you're doing — and give you honest feedback — would save you months of frustration.
You don't need to be ready to perform. This is a low-pressure, encouraging environment. Some members will play live on calls. Some will just ask questions. Both are completely fine.

About Dustin
I've been playing guitar for 30+ years — session work, live performance, and over a decade teaching jazz guitar at Davidson College. For the last several years I've been focused almost entirely on helping intermediate guitarists cut through the noise and build skills that actually hold up.
I recently cleared my private lesson calendar to focus on this. Office Hours is how I'm working with people now.
