Guitar Lessons Near Albany, NY

Paul's Guitar Hideout is 45 minutes north of Albany in Glens Falls. Guitar lessons with Travis Gray of Wild Adriatic.

Where We Are

We're on the second floor of The Shirt Factory in Glens Falls, one of the more interesting buildings in the region. It's a converted 19th century textile mill that's become a hub for artists, makers, craftspeople, and independent businesses. Painters, photographers, woodworkers, jewelers, and now a guitar shop. The building has a creative energy that fits what we do. Use the Cooper Street entrance and take the stairs up. If you need assistance, give us a call and we'll come down.

Is the Drive Worth It?

Travis is worth the drive — straight up. Being a one-stop shop for repairs, setups, gear, and lessons under one roof is icing on the cake. If you're starting from absolute scratch, find someone local first. More on that call: should I take guitar lessons or teach myself.

Who's Teaching

Travis Gray of Wild Adriatic fame teaches here. Reach out through the contact page to book. Full background on his instructor page.

How Lessons Work

Travis listens to what you want and builds a plan for it. He'll work on the songs you actually want to play, the foundation underneath them, technique, riffs, songwriting, getting ready to perform — whatever the goal is. The first session is about where you're starting and where you want to go.

Before the First Lesson

If you need a guitar, new and used inventory is worth browsing while you're up. A $79 setup on your existing guitar is often worth doing on the same trip, done during or shortly after the lesson, and you leave with a guitar that plays.
