Guitar Lessons Near Saratoga Springs, NY

Paul's Guitar Hideout is 30 minutes north of Saratoga Springs on I-87. One-on-one 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.

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.

If you're weighing whether this is the right call at all: should I take guitar lessons or teach myself. Once you're in, how to get the most out of guitar lessons covers what actually matters between sessions.

Before Your First Lesson

If you need a guitar, come in first — we have new and used options across a wide range. A $79 setup on your existing guitar is often worth doing if it hasn't been looked at in a while. We can bundle the setup with the first lesson visit. See when a beginner should get a setup.
