About Bill

With 40 years teaching and touring experience, Bill can teach a variety of styles be it rock funk blues pop or folk in a fun atmosphere. From beginner to pro either guitar or bass TAB or reading music manuscript charts, Bill teaches his students how to be their own prolific guitarist harnessing their own style with sophisticated harmonies and techniques. Bill C Ireton has the ability to instantly elevate the proceedings on any lesson or session by channeling the spirits of his own personal guitar heroes, George Benson to Larry Carlton, as well as Jimi Hendrix to Joe Satriani.

Based out of the SF Bay Area, Bill C Ireton, has performed various styles of music ranging from gritty rock and funk to sultry smooth and jazz in a variety of bands and ensembles touring the US and Europe. He has played with and rubbed elbows with the likes of Walter Trout and Buddy Guy in the blues arena to Steve Erquiaga and Mike Stern in the Jazz arena.

Once I was involved with performing and recording I felt the need to be able to teach what I learned and share it with others.

Carrying a Bachelor Of Arts and Music Degree, you can find projects, bands, and discography that Bill has been a part of here.

About the lesson

I like to find out what level the student is at then gear them towards music they enjoy or want to learn.

From all ages 5-70

Just be open and learn as much as you can.

My CD Release party of my latest album, Come Home To Me, in April odf 2020 was very special as it gave people something to listen to while being locked down from the epidemic. You can find it on all social media platforms if interested.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What and where do they want go with their instrument. Is it just a hobby or do they want to take it to the professional realm. Each avenue has a different path of learning.

Deadly! I love that I can take a lesson at my convenience without lugging my equipment around. Through our zoom calls it feels like he is in the room with me. It still feels personal even though it is not in person.

Deadly! Bill is meticulous and patient. We had custom requests for the lesson plan listened and really does care. Bill knows music and his experience is helpful from a style perspective. He is creative and has made recommendations to modify style and changes improving the music. He breaks down complex music (the learning process) making it approachable and less intimidating to learn. Bill is respectful, positive and easy to communicate with. We found him on this site and so pleased to have connected with him for these lessons.

Deadly! Bill is meticulously 'hands on' when teaching guitar. He really listens and pays attention to the feedback of what he has taught me in his teaching regimen. He is patient, encouraging, motivating, caring, and most importantly, very approachable and a lot of fun! His laid-back approach to teaching helps me feel at ease and comfortable enough to ask any question that I have about learning guitar. Bill is an extremely talented and knowledgeable musician with the guitar. His understanding and cool ways with different approaches to learning chords
has given me hope that learning guitar is doable, you just have to be a little creative in order to achieve the results that you desire with guitar.

Deadly! Bill is very professional, friendly, patient, and efficient. I played a little decades ago but it's almost like starting over. I'm progressing quickly thanks to Bill. It's easy to tell that he's taught a lot.

My 8 (now 9) year old has been taking lessons from Bill for about 2 months and I have been very impressed. He has a gentle way of speaking and seems to be able to explain things in a way that makes sense in her mind. Especially as a complete novice. She has already learned so much. And is excited to practice as well! I would definitely recommend him as an instructor.

Bill is very patient and enthusiastic with a new guitarist. Bill teaches at a pace that seems just right for our beginner. We are very happy with the way our lessons are going. Bill is very accommodating with rescheduling lessons and has been very flexible with doing classes on zoom. I have already recommended him to others for lessons and I will keep doing that.

My son has been learning guitar with Bill for 7 years. Bill has a calm demeanor, creating motivation without unneeded pressure. My son has been enthusiastic about playing the guitar from the very beginning, and his passion has grown over time. He admires Bill as a role model, loves Bill's music, and is inspired to compose as well.
I would highly recommend Bill for students of any level!

Bill is an amazing teacher! Knowledgeable, patient, practical approach and is a well respected guitarist in the bay area.
I was a very competent and gigging guitarist before beginning lessons with Bill over a year ago.
Since then my music comprehension, guitar playing in general and improvisational skills have improved tremendously and we're not stopping anytime soon!
Highly recommend Guitar Guru Bill for any level of guitarist, first time, hobbyist, serious or semi pro!

I love that he teaches both the theory aspects of music at times as well as just straight up learning songs. I ask him to learn new songs all the time and he works on them with me.

I've been studying with Bill for several years! As a teacher myself, I love his perfect blend of letting me set the agenda for what I want to learn and his teaching me the fundamentals of what a guitar player needs to know. He is a great brainstormer--I come into a lesson with things that are challenging me, and I leave with lots of different ideas for approaches to experiment with, lots of tools for my toolbox. I highly recommend Bill!
