Experienced tutor in Guitar in Hanover, Ed offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I took guitar lessons with Ed Eastridge for more than a year. I stopped only because I moved out of the area. Ed was the best guitar teacher I've had. He inspired me to learn many new skills and push my limits. And his enthusiasm made learning to play guitar truly fun!

Great guitarist and teacher.
Knows plenty of songs to keep you busy, and can teach you songs you request to. Learning from him has increased my skill significantly. Finger picking, Tabs, and rhythm become so much easier when learning from him.

Ed Eastridge is the best guitar teacher. He really works with students interests, is always super positive and encouraging. My son's abilities have flourished with Ed as a teacher.

Ed has been not only a great guitar teacher, but also a great mentor for me. I started taking lessons with Ed when I was in 2nd grade, and my love for guitar was sparked. Ed has helped me develop my skills from a beginner to eventually taking any requests I had to learn. Ed is a great teacher for any level of guitar player, and a great friend as well.

Very laid back and Ed is a wonderful teacher and a really great person. Any type of music you want to learn is possible and he’s very accommodating to all types of skill level and intensity.

Ed is a great personality to teach kids/teenagers. He is easy going and flexible. My daughter continues to ask for lessons from him, which says a lot! He can do video lessons through Zoom or FaceTime.

Flexible approach to teaching, adjusting to my style. Having fun playing together.

Ed Eastridge is so talented with his teaching and caring with his students that you can tell that music is his life. Plus he's famous for his work with Motown artists and he even helped my daughter get into Harvard! I highly recommend him!

Ed is an excellent teacher because he can teach a variety of music styles on guitar ( classical to rock on an electric guitar) and helps the student become a versatile player with a great love for music.

Ed Eastridge is an enormously talented and deeply knowledgeable musician who performs regularly around the Upper Valley in many musical genres. He’s not just a great musician — he connects with his students, which is absolutely critical in sustaining their interest and motivating practice. Ed is an inspiration. Catch one of his gigs to judge for yourself.

I am taking guitar lessons from Ed Eastridge at Hanover Strings. In addition to pushing me to improve he is very good at keeping me motivated and interested. If you are thinking of taking lessons online or eventually in person Ed is the best. He is patient and focused on my learning.

Ed is a huge resource and very accommodating teacher. I'd recommend his lessons to anyone. I was nervous to take lessons as an adult beginner on a new instrument, but have found Ed's guidance very helpful and encouraging.

My daughter started taking guitar lessons with Ed 6 years ago after we were referred by another friend whose son took lessons from Ed. Ed is a great teacher that adjusts the level and style of instruction to the interests and abilities of the student. He's created the arrangements for popular songs that my daughter wanted to learn and is really open to tailoring the class around the student's interests.
He has a rich and interesting musical career history (used to open for Tina Turner) and an amazing ability. We try to see his shows when he's playing in the area. As a teacher, he's always kind and calm. I think anyone of any age would enjoy learning from Ed. Highly recommend.

Ed has been a great teacher for my son, who has been taking lessons from him for the past three years. Ed is very patient with kids and lets them explore various kinds of music on guitars (both Electric and Classical). My son's skill and technique have improved significantly during this time. He also provides his students with numerous opportunities to play in front of live audiences through out the year - which also help support local businesses.

Ed is an amazingly talented musician himself, and encourages his students to learn and grow in a fun and relaxed manner.

I highly recommend Ed as a guitar teacher for aspiring musicians of all levels.

Besides being an amazing and inspiring guitarist, Ed has an incredible ear and is able to teach musical theory on a practical level in micro-segments (simplified and easily understandable).

Ed's a great teacher. From jazz standards to classical solo guitar. He knows how to help you move forward as a guitar player. Side note. It is my belief that you should seek out and learn from people who have been there, done that. Ed is one of these people.

My son took lessons from Ed for over 4 years. Ed is kind, knowledgeable, flexible and skilled. He helped my son learn all the basics of guitar, how to care for his guitar, taught him songs that he was interested in and nurtured his love for music.

Ed Eastridge is a wonderful teacher! I have enjoyed my lessons with him; he is patient and very knowledgeable about so many genres of music.

Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable!

Great teacher, very patient and helpful. Has lots of great knowledge and techniques to show you.

Ed was an amazing teacher with my son. He has a very laid back style but at the same time elicits great interest in learning and participation. My son grew leaps and bounds under his instruction. I would recommend him to anyone looking to learn guitar.

Ed is a Pro! He is engaged and gives thoughtful exercises and song choices. My playing has gotten much better technically as a result. Ed is an excellent guitar player and teacher!

Simply put, Ed is an incredible instructor. He is an expert in a wide variety of guitar styles and teaches these styles with a warm, kind, and ultimately effective approach. He has always made me feel very comfortable as a student, particularly when working on songs that I initially thought were out of my range but later mastered. He has also been great at tabbing out new songs that I brought him, and then clarifying how best to play them with ideal finger positions and strumming techniques. Highly recommended!

I've taken lessons with Ed for 4 years now, and they have always been wonderful. First of all, he is incredibly knowledgeable about his craft (not just guitar, he taught me ukulele and bass too!) and second, he is great at explaining it! He also writes great guitar charts for all the songs I want to learn just by listening them! He does all of that with the most laid-back and friendly attitude that I can't help but enjoy my time with him! I would highly recommend taking lessons with Ed if you ever get the chance.

Ed Eastridge is a FANTASTIC teacher. So friendly, talented, and creative. I loved how I could bring him any song that I wanted to learn and by only watching the YouTube video he could write out a version of it within my skill range. Everyone at Hanover Strings was so friendly and helpful while I took lessons there. :)

The staff is helpful, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly.

They have an excellent selection of quality instruments at different price points. My son takes guitar and bass lessons from Ed Eastridge, an outstanding teacher and musician who plays and teaches a wide range of music.

I love the low-key atmosphere and steadfast commitment to string music. Also, I'd like to say the following about Ed. He's an awesome, experienced teacher, accomplished in many styles. He's easygoing, but serious. He has something to offer all levels, from expert to rank beginners like me

Ed is a very versatile and patient teacher. He works well with any age group, level of experience or genre of music. I have been seeing him weekly for many years and have enjoyed and learned from Ed. I recommend him as to any who want to experience more on the guitar or bass.
