Online Guitar and Ukulele Lessons

MEET THE MAESTRO JANAY NELSON
GET INSPIRED
As a qualified Instructor, I’ve been offering my Services to people of all ages in the Medicine Hat area since 2016. Recently, I have graduated from Grant MacEwan University with a Diploma in music and currently reside in Edmonton. No matter your level, experience or where you live, I’m here to give you the tools you need to succeed and help you fulfill your Guitar Hero Dreams!
Why become a Guitarist?
You have a secret. Maybe you have a few. But it all comes down to one thing: you want to be the guitar hero, and the video game just doesn’t cut it anymore.
Picture it, because I know you have: You’re sitting around the campfire and become that person.
You know… the one who whips out the guitar and can play every tune by ear and everyone joins in the song. You’ve just created a lifetime memory amongst friends. YOU are the hero.
Maybe you’ve had a bad day.
You come home to watch Stranger Things and decide you want to distract the demobats just like Eddie Munson. You plug your electric guitar into a 100,000-watt Marshall amp and hit the overdrive pedal on the floor. Metallica’s Master of Puppets hits so hard, that the power (and everyone’s hearing) is gone in a one-mile
radius.
Yeah. You’re that powerful.
But it all takes a back seat when Metallica comes to town: What’s that? James Hetfield is calling for you to fill in? Kirk Hammet has the flu? (uhh…riiiight, just living the rock star dream I’d say).
Funny enough, he saw you on the news only a week earlier, shredding your Jackson Soloist on that 100,000-watt-power-grid-killing-amp? You better be prepared to pick your friends' jaws up off the floor when they see you standing tall on stage with Metallica. You got this.
My name is Janay and like me, I know you’ve got dreams. Let me help you realize them.
All you have to do is walk through my virtual door.
Below is the boring stuff about me.......
​

ABOUT ME
I started my shredding journey at 12 years old, and teaching at 16. These opportunities allowed me to find my passion and give back to others. I have experience playing a variety of genres such as Rock, Jazz, Blues, Funk, Country, Metal and Pop among many others. I have had the pleasure of playing with various bands and at various venues, from social halls, outdoor festivals, church services, online concerts and jams with family and friends.
Graduating from MacEwan University with a Music Diploma and minoring in education, has impacted the way I view music and how music can shape society.

Ready to Rock?
I offer a wide range of online guitar and ukulele services from weekly lessons to lesson plans so you can focus on learning at a pace that works for you.

Lesson Times
30/45/60 Minutes
During these lesson times, we will work on essential skills such as learning to read and write music as well as how to play different genres. Lessons will be held once a week from September till the end of June online via Google Meet or Zoom.

Drop in Lessons
Need help with a skill or do not have time to commit to a full year? Drop in lessons allow you to make a lesson time that works for you without the weekly commitment.
