My son took guitar lessons with Bradley starting when he was 8 years old until he was 15. Bradley definitely fostered a love for music and made lessons fun. He’s an excellent musician and has a great, easygoing personality. My son is now asking for lessons again with Bradley, as he misses it and enjoyed it so much. More...

Bradley Fish may be the best guitar/music teacher around! I traveled from Texas to Wisconsin and a big reason I wanted to was for these lessons. You can't beat the price for all of the resources he offers, I was able to record professional sounding originals, play and improvise in groups, and I even made a friend and joined a band. I struggled so long with many things and he made theory and learning so easy and so fun. Anything musically you want to pursue, this is one of the best teachers out there. More...

I took bass lessons from Bradley. Being new to playing he was very patient with me. His teaching style helped in my learning.

I'm so grateful that I found Bradley Fish two years ago when my 11 year old son was ready to learn to play guitar. Two years later, we are still going strong! Bradley teaches children, teens and adults. My son has learned so much! Bradley has taught him many, many things from basic beginning skills like notes, chords and fingerings to music theory and reading sheet music. He's taught my son how to play solo, in a duet, a trio and a group. Bradley has also instructed him in the practical skills of changing strings, tuning and using electric guitar accessories. He's taught my son to play in a variety of modern music styles and historical music styles. Incidentally, my son also plays harmonica under another teacher and Bradley has taught him to play his harmonica in a neck holder WHILE he's playing guitar Bob Dylan style! (minus the cigarette, of course, lol)Bradley has so many, many instruments, string and otherwise, available for students to try out (and look at- fascinating!). I love it! He can really rock-it as a drummer on a full set and I love that he sings with gusto and conviction! Bradley also has a complete recording studio with all the technology to completely support it. My son worked on a recording with Bradley recently. Bradley helped him to play all the parts on the recording and added his own vocals and even a harmonica track! It was amazing. My son loved tweaking it and experimenting with sound. Bradley taught my son improvisation and how to perform a solo on demand that fits with the key and style of the music! I've especially enjoyed listening to this learning progression. My son played some pretty bad ear-bleeders in the beginning but Bradley has expertly worked with him blending both technical and musical knowledge skills. My son has gotten better and better over time. I don't want to brag on my kid or anything but sometimes, I can't even tell if it's my son or Bradley playing now!Something that makes Bradley Fish special and unique are Band Nights! I love that my son has the opportunity to play in an actual functioning garage-style band so early in his musical career! Bradley encourages him to bring his harmonica and switch out between guitar, bass and harmonica. My son is a very stubbornly-unwilling and uncooperative singer and Bradley hasn't been able to get him to sing. Yet. But I know he will use his teaching magic and make a (back-up) singer out of him yet. Rock Band Night and Blue Grass Band Night lessons with other students are an awesome perk of Bradley's lessons! Finally, and this is important, too, there's a very comfortable waiting room just off the full-studio lesson room. The couches are super comfy and there are snacks! More...

My 10 year old son really wanted to learn guitar and I always wanted to learn as well, so we searched the web for guitar lessons like most people would and found quite a few results in the Madison area. I reached out to a few places and heard back from Bradley instantly and he was totally on board with teaching the two of us at the same time. The initial free lesson is a great idea, cause you get to test the water without making a commitment. Bradley’s a goofball and great with kids. We signed up for several weeks of lessons and my son was always excited for guitar practice night. My son and I struggled with chord changes and technique at first and Bradley was very patient with us. My son really liked that Bradley had the full band setup in his studio and even got to practice the drums a couple of times. I’d recommend Bradley to anyone at any level and will be reaching out to him again in the future for another series of lessons. More...

Bradley was my gateway into a lifetime passion for guitar and music. I came to him with barely any knowledge and the goal of learning how to play my favorite songs from my favorite guitar idols. Not only was Bradley able to learn anything I brought to him on the spot, he was able to break it down and explain it to me musically. His methodologies in our lessons laid down the framework for a student who just didn't want to replicate others but was able to understand why they played what they did and why it was great. This was vital in allowing me to go on and aspire to become my own great creator of music. He taught me to love the language of music and that is the best thing anyone can give to an aspiring player. Thank you Bradley! More...

Bradley does a great job of meeting you where your at with your playing. If your just starting out or trying to move off a plateau, he is able to get a sense of what you might need to improve your guitar playing. Bradley has the innate ability to make you feel comfortable learning new things and pushing your self to try things you wouldn't normally do like belting out a songs somewhere other than the shower.

I found Bradley online while searching for a banjo teacher. I am so happy with the lessons and I look forward to going to them. I always leave with new skills that are not taught in typical instructional banjo books. He is always encouraging and enthusiastic when teaching. I highly recommend Bradley as an instructor. You will not be disappointed, I assure you. More...

Really excellent guitar teacher! I have a 6-year-old daughter who has been taking lessons with Bradley Fish for a few months now, and his handling of her has been amazing; he's always enthusiastic, humors her wandering attention and gently brings her back to work, has creative ways of explaining and demonstrating what she needs to learn, and has gotten her to learn a surprising amount. He's also been a pleasure to work with, and for pretty reasonable rates to boot. More...

Bradley is hands down the best musician I've worked with. I learned a ton of theory in the past, but he was the one who really taught me to make sense of it all. Most importantly, he made it fun and put it in a way I understood it! If you really want to learn and get your own creative music flowing, this is the guy to talk to right here. Bradley Fish. Thanks again for all your help Bradley! More...

Brad was my guitar teacher back in the early 90's. I'll forever be grateful for the lessons in dynamics and solo building that he taught me. They've helped shape the player I am today. The only teacher who ever made me flip my guitar upside down to use it as a percussion instrument- What a valuable lesson in timing and rhythm that was! More...

Bradley Fish is a talented, patient, and encouraging instructor who is able to take you from where you are at currently and set you on course to where you would like to be. After my first free guitar lesson, I pre-paid my guitar lessons, and I was not disappointed. Bradley Fish was also very flexible with my lesson schedule when some personal life changes caused me to put my lessons on pause for a while. In addition to teaching me guitar he also skillfully played his unique collection of instruments during the lesson to create custom practice loops for me using Ableton Live (software). If you are considering music lessons, I recommend Bradley Fish! More...

When I went to my 1st guitar lesson with Bradley Fish I was pumped about the One FREE lesson! I thought this guy must be confident in musical knowledge! !! Well that was about 12 years ago. I have had guitar lessons from him when he lived over seas and I lived in NC over the phone! That is how much I believe in his musical knowledge and ability to teach. I would recommend him to anyone and especially someone who wants to make music a daily life long activity! He taught me everything from correct stretching before playing to scales, chords, licks and he is a great producer! More...
