GuitarTricks - Lisa McCormick ~ www.ipremiumcookie.blogspot.com

Lisa McCormick has years of guitar teaching experience, and it shows in her calm, comfortable, friendly teaching style. Her catalog is rich with acoustic guitar lessons, designed to take you step-by-step through the learning process: beginner and intermediate acoustic fingerpicking, beginner strumming, acoustic core concepts, country strumming, and much more. Lisa also teaches popular licensed songs along with public domain tunes, including Holiday songs for your enjoyment.

Lisa hails from the northeast US. She started playing an old Stella Harmony guitar of her fathers at age 10, and during her teen years Lisa studied folk, classical, blues, and acoustic rock styles. In college she took classes in music theory, but largely focused on Education, getting her degree from the University of New Hampshire. After college, lightning struck and Lisa realized she wanted to fully pursue a career in music.

Since then, she has been a full-time touring artist, recorded four CD's of her original music, and has received regional and national recognition for her songwriting and performance- including Grand Prize in the USA Songwriting Contest, and First Prize in the Mixx Magazine Indie Band Contest. Lisa's long-standing influences include classic 60s and 70s artists (James Taylor, The Beatles, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Jimmie Spheeris), and in recent years she's taken an interest in world music, latin, and jazz. Not only passionate about performing and recording, Lisa loves to teach, and has worked with hundreds of beginner and intermediate students over the years. Combine the talented guitarist and singer/songwriter with the experienced and patient guitar teacher and the degreed educator, and you get one fantastic addition to our team of instructors here at Guitar Tricks.
