  New! Mandolin ad lib studies in video, audio and tablature!  A series of videos of me playing improvisations off the top of my head, using some of my favorite licks over a simple chord structure in all the popular keys. Accompanying MP3 files and tablature hopefully will help you add some licks to your bag of tricks. This is an ongoing series so check back often.


Bill Nesbitt — Music Teacher

I teach private music lessons in Little Rock. I'll teach anybody, old or young, who shows genuine interest. I teach:

  • 5-string bluegrass-style banjo
  • guitar
  • mandolin
  • bass

Of course, playing an instrument and being able to teach others to play are two entirely different things. My teaching environment (I teach in my home studio in central Little Rock) is warm, pleasant and, most of all, positive. I won't constantly hound you about practicing your instrument; however, I will expect improvement from week to week until a level of proficiency is reached that works for both of us.

Practicing isn't always fun, especially when you're just starting out and there are fingers to toughen and muscles to develop. For me, and hopefully for any student who chooses to hang in there, it becomes more than a fun diversion or hobby; it becomes an important part of one's daily life.

Below is my current schedule color coded by available time slots. As you can see, I have some openings if you or someone you know might be interested. This schedule is constantly being shuffled around, so if you don't see a spot you like, check back in a week or so. My rate is $20.00 per half-hour lesson, once a week, payable monthly.
