Experienced tutor in Guitar in Chino Hills, Luke offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Bucket List Band Camp is all the name implies and SO much more. Master Luke creates the perfect atmosphere, combining his kindness as a teacher, toughness (treating each of us like a total pro), along with the encouragement an artist needs to flourish in any environment.
As a seasoned performer having sung for thousands of audiences of all sizes, I was amazed how much I learned - I took risks on stage that I had never imagined I could!
I was truly impressed by the musicality, direction and professionalism of Luke Thomas, the creator and director of the Band Camps. Thank you for this gift, it has been invaluable!

Thank You!

Luke is one of the greatest teachers that I've had in my life, including college professors and advanced workshop instructors. I've worked on Jerry Garcia solos note for note with Luke, and we've discussed elements of music theory. Sometimes technical but always fun. And I trust Luke's musicianship completely. He's tops in my book.

Luke is an amazing teacher, and I've been taking both acoustic and electric guitar lessons with him for about 4 years. He tailors his lessons to the needs of each individual student, making sure that you learn good technique while you're learning to play songs that YOU like and want to learn. His teaching style really works for me and has kept me motivated to continue to build my skills with increasingly challenging songs. I'm only sorry I didn't start sooner!

Luke has been teaching our 13 year old son for 3 years. He knows how to engage him and support him. He even buys Girl Scout cookies from our daughter! Luke is a kind person and a great guitar teacher!

At 40, I decided to try my hand at guitar, though I had never before played any instrument ever. A couple years later, I have a wonderful hobby that brings me hours of joy. Since my son took lessons too, we have something to do together.

And it's all thanks to Luke. He's patient, thorough, and his lessons make sense. My son and I think he's terrific.

Luke is the best guitar instructor I've ever had. He caters to my learning style very well, which is to learn just the stuff that "works" in a real life setting. His insight has made my sound 10x better and has given me a great framework for improvement (Even my band mates have noticed a difference with my playing). He also has a keen sense of where my own guitar playing issues stem from and knows what needs to be done to address them. For example, he could tell that I was gripping the strings too hard with my fingers and it would make the sound harsh.

I highly recommend Luke if you are looking to improve your sound.

I've studied with Luke for a little over a year and my playing and understanding of jazz concepts has improved tremendously. I'm primarily a rock and blues player but Luke has been able to stretch my playing out side of my rock/blues box and introduce some very cool techniques and ideas to add real interest and flavor to my playing. It's been a pure pleasure!
