Welcome to Lot More Guitar Studio!


• Have you always wanted to play guitar but aren’t sure where to start?

• Have you been playing on your own for a while, and feel frustrated by your lack of progress?

• Are you an advanced player looking to take your musicianship to the next level?

• Do you wish those YouTube guitar videos were specifically addressed to you?

• Are you an adult beginner who is afraid the ship has passed you by?

• Are you a parent looking for the best guitar lessons for your child?

• Are you a songwriter who wants a better understanding of how music works, and how to immediately apply this knowledge to your writing?


If this is you, I know I can help. My name is Marc Viola, and my mission is to help you become the guitarist and musician you've always dreamed of being.


Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills, I'm here to guide you every step of the way.



How I Teach Beginners

 My first objective is to get you playing as quickly as possible. To do this I will teach you songs and melodies arranged simply for beginners. Using this method, you learn technique as you play real music. As you begin to play better, the music becomes more challenging. 
Before you know it, you're no longer a beginner!
Yes, some people learn faster than others. But in your lesson, I will teach you at the fastest speed possible for you.
Let's Get Started

How I Teach Advanced Players

Most of my advanced students wish to study specific styles in great detail. Tell me what you want and I'll show you exactly what you need to know. Some students wish to examine one particular artist, learning as much of their style as they can. Other students want to learn all they can about music theory and lead guitar. I'll give you as much neck knowledge as you can absorb!

“Highly recommend Lot More Guitar Studio! Marc puts together a “Student Jam” at a local venue & my son has participated twice now. Each time it reinforces to myself and husband how lucky we feel having found Marc to teach our son. We move around the country with the army semi-frequently, so surrounding my son with people who positively impact him is super important to us!”

- Christy(Golden's Mom)

"Marc does an excellent job teaching and motivating. He is friendly and personable and tailors your lessons to what you want to learn and achieve. Forget the online stuff and YouTube vids. If you want to learn, face to face is the way to do it, and Marc is the guy you need!"

- Neal Campbell

“I have had a lot of guitar teachers over the years and none of them compare to Marc Viola. Marc is a great teacher as well as a great guitar player. What I like about his lessons is that Marc is open to teaching his students what they would like to learn, and his lessons are always fun! I know that Marc gets enjoyment from his students getting better at the guitar and his commitment and effort to reach this goal come through in every lesson.”   

- Ross Kegler
