Edenbrooke Music: Alvarez Regent Series Folk Guitar

Alvarez Regent Series Folk Guitar

The Alvarez Regent Series Folk Guitar is perfect for young, beginner students. Marty recommends this model to many of his students because it is a smaller scale guitar with a slim neck and bright sound. We currently have several Alvarez RF12 guitars in stock for the low price of $249.00, including a hard-shell wood case. Call Marty for more details (615) 415-1942.

Marty Keith

Marty Keith began taking guitar lessons at the age of 4. He was the youngest student of his teacher, Herb Chapman. Herb is the father of GRAMMY and Dove Award winning artist Steven Curtis Chapman. Of course, Steve wasn't that Steve back then, but he and Marty both learned their art from the best.

After more than a decade of refining his skill, Marty took his guitar playing to the stage. From talent shows as a teen to touring with a band and as a solo artist, Marty stopped only for more music education. He studied music at Ozark Christian College and went on to lead worship at youth camps, conferences and churches.

If you're interested in guitar lessons for yourself or your child, contact Marty at johnmartinkeith at hotmail.com. In-person lessons are best and are available in the Nashville/Brentwood/Franklin area of Tennessee. Marty does offer lessons via webcam to those out of the area.

Parent Reference

Our teenage son wanted to learn to play the guitar, so we researched teachers and discovered Marty Keith. He was highly recommended as a skilled teaching professional with a heart for God and worship as well. Our son loves his weekly hour with Marty. He is learning so fast! Marty is patient, and tailors his instruction to the aptitude and interest of our son. He is so skilled as a performer himself that he offers abundantly more that we had hoped for. He not only teaches technique, but cultivates in our boy a real love for music! We are very grateful!

Kaylee really wanted to take guitar for a long time, so when I heard about Marty and his lessons I was thrilled to sign her up. She was a beginner and needed someone with patience, since she knew nothing about music.

Marty helps her so much!! He is wonderful and I know that because she loves learning guitar! She says Marty is so kind and so patient and makes her love to practice. She is learning so much (I am amazed how much!) and I love hearing her new songs and notes each week.

I think the sign of a good teacher is when the student wants to practice on their own and really enjoys what they are doing. Marty helps us with everything, even picking out her guitar, which is perfect for a beginner. We will be taking lessons from Marty as long as he is willing to teach her!

I have had a guitar since I was about 7 and never had the chance to learn to play it. When I was finally able to get lessons at the age of 17, Mr. Keith was very convenient, and affordable. He was extremely patient with me, as I was a slow learner, but in the few months I had Mr. Keith as my teacher, I learned so much more than I thought I would. He is a very talented musician, as well as a great teacher. If you are considering furthering your guitar knowledge with lessons, I would very highly recommend Mr. Keith, he won't disappoint.

When I started guitar lessons with Mr. Marty a few months ago, I didn't even know what a fret was. But he is always patient with me. He is a top-notch instructor, and knows more about the guitar than anyone else I've ever met. In a couple of weeks, he teaches me music that I thought would take me years to play! If I like a song, Mr. Marty translates it into easier components that a beginner like me can work with. I always have fun in the lessons. Mr. Marty is an awesome guitar teacher!

"Sam and I look forward to our guitar lesson every week. I'm 36 and Sam is 9, but we're both learning to play. Marty has taught us a lot in a short time, and he always manages to keep us challenged just enough for it to be fun. Sam has even asked for an electric guitar for Christmas. (Uh, no.) But I do consider learning to play a musical instrument a critical part of Sam's education. My husband thinks it will help the boy with the ladies in the future. Do with that information what you will. If you're considering learning to play the guitar at all, I encourage you to take lessons from Marty. He's been a blessing to our family."
