About
Hello!
My name Cody Owen. I'm a lifelong guitarist and music teacher living in Minneapolis, MN
​
Our name, 612 Guitar Lessons, is an homage to Minneapolis, the city I call home, as well as my favorite guitar shop growing up, 965 Guitars
My Story
I fell in love with the guitar when I was 10, and have stayed in love ever since. I'm a self-taught musician who grew up playing mostly blues music and my favorite rock songs, and have played with punk bands, post-rock bands, cover groups, and accompanied vocalists. I've written songs for and been featured on a number of releases, and I've played hundreds of gigs in all sorts of venues, from dance halls to basement punk shows
​
With 8 years of teaching experience and 16 years of playing experience across a variety of genres, I offer individually-tailored electric or acoustic guitar lessons for players of any level
​
I'm happy to work with students to improve in the areas most important to them, whether that is simple lessons on chord-shapes, scales, and strumming, mastering advanced playing techniques, or learning to play their favorite songs
I started teaching students in 2017, and I love introducing people to this wonderful instrument and helping them reach their goals
