About Mel Williams Guitar, Uke, Bass Instructor/ Perform
Guitar, ukulele, and bass lessons — online and in person. I've been playing guitar for over 30 years and teaching for 20+, working with students from complete beginners to advanced players. I earned a BM in Guitar Performance from Mansfield University and a Master's in Worship Studies from Liberty University, and I've performed and recorded across jazz, rock, blues, country, bluegrass, R&B, and worship music. That range means I teach what you want to learn — not a one-size-fits-all method. Lessons are built around your goals: we start with what you know, get beginners playing recognizable songs fast, and help stuck intermediates break through with fretboard knowledge, theory that finally makes sense, and real songs. I love teaching, I love performing, and nothing beats watching a student light up when the music clicks.
Reviews
I am 41. Prior to starting lessons with Melvin I had absolutely no experience with the guitar at all. I've been taking weekly lessons with Melvin for 6 months now and I feel I'm making great strides. He tailors the approach such that you work on music that fits your taste. He's very patient and engaging - an excellent teacher. I highly recommend!
Melvin, you such a great guitar instructor! I am so glad to have him as my pro that he understands I have to brush everything I've learned in the past back up after slacking when I decided I want to continue and become a master. I am so glad to be your student because you are just so awesome for me to learn guitar with. Thank you for your time and experience with me! I can't wait to keep learning with you, Melvin!
He is knowledgeable and has great skills.
He is incredibly patient with my son who has attention issues.
Melvin Williams is an excellent guitar teacher. I appreciate Melvin's patience, and I like the way he explains things. He uses a variety of instructional methods to help me learn new concepts. Plus, I come away from each lesson with tips for playing the guitar and new practice goals are established for the following lesson. I highly recommend Melvin as a guitar teacher.
Melvin is very sweet and patient with me. I’m glad he takes the time for concepts to come together and understand and breakdown certain components. Very understanding!
My son likes Mr. William. He is patient and professional.
My son has been with Melvin the past two months and he’s great! Would definitely recommend him to others with children looking to learn guitar.
Had a really great first lesson. Melvin listened to my wants in learning guitar and we reviewed things that would certainly help me develop my skills.
Melvin was the best choice we could have made for our ceremony. He has a pure kind heart, and it shines through in his personality and music. He was more than accommodating when it came to the price and hours he would play, and when we finally had our ceremony we were blown away with his talent. Not only were we satisfied but our guests enjoyed the music and plenty of them chatted with him and mentioned how kind he was.
Melvin was great! He was helpful learning a song and performing on short notice, and was fun and charismatic when he performed.
Very professional and patient with my granddaughter
