Guitar Lesson in Pearl City – Want to learn Slack Key, Rock, or Blues?

Posted By Peter on August 28, 2010

Would you like to learn guitar or ukulele? Walter is a killer instructor. He can teach just about any style, but he is our only instructor that also specializes in slack key.  Please let us know if you are interested. He rarely has openings, but a bunch of his military students have left the island leaving him with availability.   He has some afternoon openings available on Tuesdays and Saturdays.  He charges $25 for a half hour.
