Relax and Learn Guitar

Relax and Learn Guitar

I help music lovers over 40 become the guitar players they always wanted to be.

Because you are never too old to learn how to play your favorite songs. There is no better time to start than now!

Have fun, relax and feel good about playing the songs you love!

Hi, I am Kevin Depew. A couple of years ago my wife Vicky suggest I take my guitar lessons online. Since then I have helped hundreds of folks over forty learn guitar with my weekly lessons here on KZread.

I create an easy going environment with a relaxing, no pressure approach that makes it easy and really enjoyable to learn.

    @Relaxandlearnguitar thanks, I know, I just like watching the instruction videos you post for non members. It shows the difference, what a good membership teaches up and above the non member videos. Some of them I pick up things I missed or didn't notice before.

    Great video, a damp cloth is what the makers recommend, you don’t need chemicals unless the guitar is really filthy. I use a product called Fast Fret about once a week to put a small amount of oil on the fretboard without removing the strings. I also use it on the bridge periodically.

    Hi Kevin. I absolutely love your teaching and even though I have bought another KZread instructor’s lessons, I’m seriously thinking about buying into yours as well. One thing I have to actually get off my chest though. You have a habit of starting to play, then stopping and start talking. I, in the meantime, will start playing along with you to try and pick up the lesson, and when you stop and start talking, that makes me lose all concentration. I know that at any time I can just stop the video and rewind, but it becomes frustrating after too many times. You are very congenial and very talkative, and I will just learn to live with it, and just rewind.
