Welcome!
Thank you for visiting my lesson website! My name is Donovan Raitt, and I am a professional guitarist and instructor who has taught guitar lessons since 1999. I have taught at the collegiate level since graduating from the Thornton Music School at USC in 2005, and I have gone on to complete my Masters and Doctoral degrees in Jazz studies and guitar performance.
I teach guitar for all ages, styles, and levels, so whether you are brand new to the guitar or are looking for some specific guidance in a particular style of playing, I would love to help guide you along your musical journey!

“I enjoy taking guitar lessons from Donovan Raitt. He helped me develop my guitar skills. I never felt stupid or pressured to learn. Donovan is a world-class musician but he does not let that go to his head. He is patient, humble, and understanding and knows how to come alongside a beginner guitarist and let them learn at their own pace. Thank you Donovan for many great lessons.”
