12 Tone School of Music is now accepting a limited number of students children, teens and adults for the Summer 2009 season. For those of you not in Ohio, through the wonders of 21st Century video-conferencing technology, Mike is teaching in real-time over the internet. You can now have a private one-on-one guitar or bass lesson live and in person with Mike Overly.

I took guitar lessons from Mike Overly in the early/mid 1980s when he was in Kailua, Hawaii. Just happened to look to see how he was doing. Michael Overly is without a doubt one of the finest private music teachers in the country, particularly for guitar. I didn't realize it at the time (I was terrible about practicing what I was supposed to practice and Mike used to call me "Space Case!"), but his method and instruction gave me the theoretical and intellectual foundation to set me up as a pro player.
He had an early handwritten version of his own method book at that time, and it was far superior to anything I have seen on the market since. I later used that book as a foundation for my own guitar teaching and when I lost the old book I did my best to recreate it. I can absolutely recommend him to any parent looking for a serious teacher for their own child.
He also has the experience and theoretical knowledge to be a terrific resource for any adult player looking to expand his or her horizons to the pro level. Mike did a lot for me more than 30 years ago as a musician, and I'm very glad to have a chance to return the favor by writing this short review.
