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
