“The online guitar lessons with Tom Hess are great! I've learned a lot of things in a short amount of time.
I don't have time to mess around, I have to get going as fast as I can. Whenever I get a correspondence lesson, there is always more in there than you can imagine.
The materials are ALWAYS over and above expectations. Tom Hess does a great job with that and I'm glad I made the decision to take lessons with him.”

“Since joining the Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle, my guitar teaching skills have dramatically improved... I went from barely making any money... into
multiple 6-figures.
Tom Hess taught me how to really inspire my students, motivate my students & push them to achieve more than I would’ve been able to on my own. When I first started teaching I failed a couple of times. Since joining the Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle, my guitar teaching skills have dramatically improved. This program has made a massive impact on my life. I went from barely making any money, in debt… you know struggling to get by to earning well over 6-figures and actually now into multiple 6-figures. It’s really made a huge difference on the quality of life.”
Jacob Melling, Richland, WA, USA

“Tom Hess really helped me... become the guitarist & business owner I always wanted to be! I'm very grateful for this!
I always had a goal of being a working musician & having guitar & music as my career. I never really thought it was possible to be very successful doing this. Before I joined Tom Hess, I was a struggling gigging musician. Money was tight. After I started taking guitar lessons and later guitar teacher & music career mentoring, things started to change rapidly. I was able to establish a good teaching business, making my clients happy guitar players. I have a touring band with a 2nd CD coming out in a few months & new tours coming my way. Tom Hess really helped me to get all the necessary components & pieces together & helped me become the guitarist & business owner I always wanted to be. I’m very grateful for this!”
