Words from our Students

Nick N. | Brooklyn, NY | ✩✩✩✩✩

“Fantastic teacher! Highly recommended! I was lucky enough to discover Barry Lusted Guitar Studio about a year ago. His expertise and passion for teaching make learning the guitar a joy. I have taken guitar lessons from a lot of teachers in my life, and Barry is gifted at teaching beginners and advanced players alike.”

Isabel C. | Plano, TX | ✩✩✩✩✩

“Barry is an excellent guitar teacher! I took lessons with him quite a few years ago and while I was not the most dedicated student, I still benefited greatly from his lessons. He focuses on teaching classical guitar and some music theory, which helps develop a strong foundation for all styles of guitar. I've recently taken up the guitar again (more seriously this time), and my new teacher was quite impressed by the skills I already had, thanks to Barry! Another reviewer mentioned that he was annoyed that Barry would play along with him during lessons, but I found this very helpful. Having to keep tempo with another person really forces you to know the piece well. If you haven't practiced well enough then you may be able to muddle through while playing solo but you won't be able to keep a steady beat while playing with another person. This is a necessary skill if one ever wants to play professionally or in a band. Barry has a very unique personality but is extremely knowledgeable and experienced, and I certainly recommend taking lessons with him.”

“My daughter has been a student of Mr. Lusted for many years. He has complete mastery of the guitar and is a patient teacher. He is a teacher that uses encouragement to provide his students with a positive learning environment. His love of music has encouraged my daughter to continue with classical guitar as well the knowledge to play today's popular music. I would highly recommend Barry Lusted.”

Amanda L. | Baton Rouge, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“Barry Lusted is the most experienced guitar instructor I have ever had! I have been learning classical guitar with him for the last seven and a half years. He had me reading guitar music in the first six weeks! He goes at the pace of each individual student's learning abilities and is very patient. He plays along with each student in order to correct each student by showing them their mistake each time they make one and how to correct it. It is by doing this, over time, one can develop the ability to hear their mistakes and correct them. He selects each song for a reason; each song provides a new and fun challenge that gradually brings you to a higher level of playing over time. I now play advanced classical guitar! If you are looking for an excellent instructor of guitar, Mr. Barry Lusted is the one I hope you will choose!”

Jessica C. | Maringouin, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“My son Alex has lessons with Mr. Barry twice a week. He looks forward to his lessons beyond all his other activities. Alex really connects with Mr. Barry. I have never met a more dedicated instructor as Mr. Barry Lusted! His compassion and motivation towards young minds, teaching his skill and knowledge toward them, is not only refreshing but outstanding! As devoted parents, he gets an A+ in our view.”

Larry C. | Reno, NV | ✩✩✩✩✩

“It has been a privilege for me to have taken lessons from Barry Lusted. His in-depth experience translates to the best understanding you can get for the area you need to concentrate in for improvement. He demonstrates by his own playing exactly what to strive for. It is always a pleasure to see him demonstrate how it should be done and see exactly how words translate into beautiful guitar music.”

Federico T. | Jackson, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“Barry is a very accomplished guitarist. He is totally involved in the guitar lesson of each of his students. Very patient and knowledgeable about music and the guitar. It is very satisfying for me to go every week for my lesson. I have progressed to a level in a short amount of time that I am amazed at myself. I wish that I would have found Barry years ago!!”

Brandon K. | Baton Rouge, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“I have been studying with Mr. Lusted for about 7 years now. I began with classical music, which was always challenging, but the challenge made me a much better player. Each week I was able to play the songs I was practicing along with him. I got to see and hear some of his techniques, which I could then apply to my playing. I have moved on to even better songs now, and I am currently working on a song by the Beatles, along with the Old Piano Roll Blues. He has given me the chance to play many genres and develop a personal like for different music. I have truly loved my time learning with such an incredible guitarist. His passion for the guitar inspires me in my practice, and he genuinely wants you to learn the ins and outs of the guitar. I hope to study with him for as long as I can and would recommend him to anyone who really wants to learn the guitar.”

Kirk S. | Prairieville, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“For many years, I had always heard about Barry Lusted being a superb classical guitar teacher. So I called him, set up a lesson, and have been amazed at his ability to teach me to play classical guitar. I must say I have gotten very good. Barry is always encouraging, positive, patient, and fun.

My family has really been amazed at how far I have come in a short amount of time to be able to play songs I had only dreamed of playing. Barry truly, truly loves teaching and playing guitar.

The last couple minutes of my lesson, I've been asking Barry to play me something on his guitar. Watching him play takes me to another place and inspires me so much. He truly is a gifted master at classical guitar.”

Christian J. | Baton Rouge, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“Mr. Barry is an amazing guitar teacher who is very patient and puts so much time and energy into making you a great guitar player. I have learned so much, and I haven't even been seeing him a full year yet. I would honestly only recommend him if you want to learn.”

Matthew T. | Baton Rouge, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

“FANTASTIC!! It's difficult to put a review into words as Mr. Lusted has turned my interest in playing (a hobby of sorts) into refined art with masterful skill. He is by far the most passionate and knowledgeable teacher with whom I've ever studied. He sequences all of the material very well and his pedagogy is very similar to other top-notch teachers I've taken lessons from for other instruments. I've taken with him for quite some time, and each lesson just gets better than the last. He sometimes plays along with you, which allows a stricter tempo as I'm learning a new piece. This also allows me to hear a superior interpretation of how the music should sound and some suggestions for artistic decisions. He also teaches how to READ MUSIC and learn all of the musical notes and symbols so that I learn my music faster and well-informed, allowing me to see the music for the first time with a critical ear and eye. I can, with no reservations, recommend Mr. Lusted. If you want to learn about the guitar, music, and beautiful art, he is hands down the best there is. The only negative I can say is that I wish I would have started taking lessons earlier with him.”

Fallon N. ✩✩✩✩✩

“I could not ask for a better classical teacher in the Baton Rouge area. He was our instructor at LSU and kids to old, old folks all got it. He has been truly great.”

Wade J. | Baton Rouge, LA | ✩✩✩✩✩

"Amazing guitar teacher! Lessons are fun and exciting. Learning to read music has made me a better guitarist. Mr. Barry is very helpful and insightful. It has been a wonderful experience really. Teaches the player how to practice. Highly recommended!"
