About Larry
Hip, fun, and useful guitar lessons. Acoustic and Electric. Reliable full-time guitar teacher with 30+ students a week. Over 20 years of teaching experience. Years of experience on stage in original touring Hard Rock bands. Teacher's music projects have internatinal releases, reviews, and writeups in Premier Guitar Magazine, Decibel Magazine, and Vintage Guitar Magazine. Virtual lessons are incredibly flexible! Great for home-schoolers or during track out! Affordable prices. Flexible payments and flexible lesson times. My influences are: Ritchie Blackmore. Yngwie Malmsteen. Adrian Smith, Vivian Campbell, Randy Rhoads, Paul Gilbert, Michael Schenker My guitar lessons take place in my home studioor online using Zoom. Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours: Monday thru Friday 2pm - 9pm. Saturdays Noon to 4pm. Skype and Zoom lessons are more flexible. Guitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Recording and Production, Guidance In Equipment Selection Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following: With younger students it's important to see how they physically handle the guitar. How the pick is held, where the left hand is placed etc. are all good signs of someone's current playing ability. It's also important to know the student's listening habits and encourage them to listen to music regularly so they have something tangible to compare what they're learning to. A guitar lesson with me might entail the following: I usually speak to the student about the music they have been listening to and we compare what they've been listening to what they've been learning. Next we review the last lesson and then we work on songs or spend a little time improvising in a way that combines what they're hearing in the music they are currently listening to and their past lessons along with new information. The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following: Prepared. Has a clear goal. An ideal student usually has a style of music or favorite guitarist in mind to mimmic.

Larry has been doing guitar lessons for our boys for a few years. He relates well with our teens and their song choices. They enjoy their lessons and have learned a lot. Larry is very friendly and we love that he comes to the house for lessons -he made the transition to zoom lessons during Covid and has made it work seamlessly.
My son Gabe received his first guitar for his 7th birthday. After seeing several recommendations for Larry, I reached out to see if he'd work with a young student. They started playing really cool music right away, which really helped Gabe enjoy playing and encouraged him to practice regularly. When we were ready to upgrade to an electric guitar the following Christmas, Larry went out of his way to not only recommend a guitar, but help set us up with a package that included everything we'd need to go with it. We are coming up on my son's 10th birthday, and we've been so happy with Larry all this time. It's amazing to hear Gabe play- he has come a long way, and really enjoys the instrument! We love Larry's flexibility with lessons, appreciated his pivot to online lessons when the pandemic hit, and especially love how he interacts with our son as just another musician, and doesn't treat him like a baby. Gabe looks forward to lessons so that he and Mr. Larry can jam. Highly recommend LCB Guitar!
My son has been taking guitar lessons from Larry for 4 years. I can’t say enough great things about Larry - he truly loves what he does. He’s always willing to learn any song that my son wants to play so he can teach it to him. He’s helped instill a love for music in Ethan and is always so encouraging. He’s also very flexible with our schedule. I highly recommend LCB Guitar for lessons!
Larry provided guitar lessons for our 15 year old daughter who wanted to graduate from YouTube instruction to in-person instruction. Larry was a perfect fit, was a great teacher, and she still enjoys guitar to this day.
Larry has been our family’s guitar instructor for over 12 years. Larry started w my son, Ely, when Ely was 7 years old. Today Ely is in the Honors music program at Appalachian State, has been in multiple local bands, recorded multiple albums and EP’s and won the “30 seconds to shred” competition at Carolina Rebellion’s 3-day metal fest. Ely’s younger brother Jackson, followed in Ely’s footsteps and has also been taking lessons for over 10 years. Jackson is equally as accomplished as his brother and is now mixing/editing his own tracks and playing all instruments. My older daughter also took lessons for many years w Larry and she now plays guitar, piano and went to NC School of the Arts and UNC Chapel Hill for voice/opera. So I know I am bragging on my kids but it is all because of Larry and his dedication to teaching guitar and music. Larry is patient, relatable to kids of any age and open to all types of music. He is a trusted mentor to my kids and has helped w instrument selection, instrument repair, and is really the “total package” if you want a great experience learning the guitar. I highly recommend anyone that is considering music lessons to give Larry a try. He will be the last teacher you will ever hire to learn the guitar.
Mr. Larry is a fantastic guitar teacher. Our son started with him when he was only seven and has really enjoyed his lessons, both in person and virtual. Larry is extremely patient and focuses on our sons musical interests while teaching proper guitar skills. He is very positive and it is clear he wants the kids to have fun while learning. He provides a weekly summary with each lesson and recommendations for practice. We would highly recommend Larry to anyone looking for a guitar teacher!
Larry is a fantastic guitar instructor! He taught my son for years (until my son started playing more lacrosse). Larry is very talented as a guitarist and as an instructor. He is so patient and my son loved learning from him. My son became a very good guitar player because of the lessons he received from Larry. Larry's the best in the business
Both of my sons, now 24 and 17, have taken lessons from Larry for several years. Larry is an awesome musician AND has the ability to bring his extensive knowledge down to a beginner’s level so that they can understand the basics and well as progress the advanced student to a higher level. Larry adapts the lessons to the students’ musical interests and helps develop their love for all genres. Very punctual and professional too.
Larry taught my son for over two years, and my son enjoyed it thoroughly until high school sports came into play which took over his time! Larry always took the time to teach my son whatever it was he was interested in and at the time a lot of Linkin Park lol! Larry taught with enthusiasm and you could tell he just wants the kids to have fun!! Bonus for me it was like having a mini concert in my house every week!!
Larry Burlison’s guitar lessons have been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The skills I have learned have been invaluable and it’s entirely thanks to Mr Larry. He not only teaches you how to play guitar, he gives you a newfound love for music. Because of Mr Larry I have gotten to live out some of my wildest dreams like playing at the Ritz and the main stage at Cats Cradle. I would never be where I am without him and I owe all of my success to him. He is is very dedicated to his students. and by far the best guitar instructor you could ask for.
Larry is an amazing guitar player and a great teacher. He is the perfect combination of personable/communicative and knowledgeable/talented. I could not recommend him more highly!
Larry has been wonderful to work with and my son really enjoys learning from him. Larry is patient and very encouraging. He helps to cultivate a love of music and is very knowledgeable!
Larry has been a great guitar teacher for our 7 year old son. He teaches in an easy to understand way and he’s patient too. He really makes learning fun by teaching songs the student is interested in learning. He arranges difficult music for beginners on the spot and it makes for a fun and engaging lesson.
