My number one mission is to help you play the songs you love with ease and confidence! If you want to learn how to play blues, rock, country or similar styles, I can help you. A lot of students come to me wanting to play their favorite songs, how to improvise or jam with other guitarists or they simply want to improve their skills. I’ve helped hundreds of students over the years achieve these goals and if you have similar goals I can help you too. In lessons, I focus on each individual student’s goals and needs.

Visual Effects Director Academy Award Nominee

Sid has a seemingly unending repertoire of amazing little tricks and techniques that allow a player to advance much more rapidly than your typical lessons. He’s an incredibly gifted player in his own right, and as a teacher, he’s just as talented.

Whether you are a complete beginner or an advanced guitar player, I would recommend calling Sid Bardfield. I sat down with Sid for my first lesson and I could feel almost immediately his passion for teaching/sharing decades of his knowledge, experience and expertise in the art of playing the guitar. For months I sat for hours and pieced together youtube instructional videos and bought every guitar app trying to learn how to play the guitar. After realizing i needed a real teacher, I found Sid on google and booked a lesson. My expectations were far and away surpassed. Sid teaches the basic skillsets, fundamentals and techniques that have helped me start playing real music with my guitar. (electric) Sid is an encyclopedia of knowledge when it comes to manipulating sounds with an amp and a guitar. He is continuously searching for ways to refine not only his own playing techniques, but more importantly his teaching techniques so that you can learn more effectively and efficiently. I have little doubt that through our (now 8 lessons (1 per week ) Ive become a better player, learned more about the guitar, music theory, sound manipulation, song structure then I could've learned sitting in any music school for 8 weeks. Simply put, If you want to be the best guitar player you can be in the shortest amount of time, call Sid.

I have been playing the guitar for many years and have taken lessons in the past with some very good teachers, including teachers affiliated with big music stores as well as private instructors. After purchasing my third guitar, I decided once again to advance my limited guitar playing ability by viewing on-line instructions, with very little progress. I then began looking for a guitar teacher in the Greater New Orleans area, and after a lengthy search, got in contact with Sid. In less than a year with Sid, I have seen significant improvement in my playing. It helps a great deal to have an awesome instructor who is very knowledgeable and extremely patient. Sid’s lesson plans are tailored to what I want to learn, and the music that we work on covers all the techniques that are necessary to improve my skills. Sid will touch on theory during the lesson to help the student understand the structure behind what he is teaching without getting the student in way over his head. I would highly recommend Sid to guitar students of all abilities, from beginner to professional player.

Sid came highly recommended to us while I was conversing with someone that my daughter was interested in guitar lessons but did not make the age range requirement listed on some websites we checked out. She started with Sid at the age of 6 and has grown to have a deep appreciation for his teaching and looks forward to going to each lesson. She does have a large array of songs under her belt and is learning the notes/ technique amd building rhythm as she grows. We cannot speak from the roof tops loud enough how truly awesome He is- both as a teacher and mentor. He truly cares about what makes her light up and makes it a point to choose relevant songs that peak her interest making practicing at home fun!
