Not sure which skills you should focus on first
Struggling to stay motivated or consistent with practice
Learning songs but not understanding the techniques behind them
Feeling like you're not improving, even after practicing
Picking up bad habits without realizing it
Getting overwhelmed by too much information online
Hitting a plateau and not knowing how to break through
Lack of confidence when playing in front of others
Trouble connecting chords, scales, and theory into real playing
Unsure how to set realistic goals and reach them

A Quick Bit About Me And Lafayette School Of Guitar
Hi, I’m Joshua LeBlanc, owner and head instructor at Lafayette School of Guitar.
When I started the school in 2018, it wasn’t just to teach guitar — it was to give students the kind of support and real results I wish every player could experience. Since then, I’ve helped hundreds of guitarists overcome obstacles, build real skills, and play music they’re proud of.
My background as a professional musician for nearly 20 years — touring both as a solo artist and with bands — means I know exactly what it takes to grow as a player at every level. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Music (Jazz Studies - Guitar) from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, and I stay up-to-date on the most effective teaching methods through my work with the Elite Guitar Teachers Inner Circle, an international organization for top-level guitar instructors.
At Lafayette School of Guitar, you won’t just learn what to practice — you’ll learn how to practice, why it matters, and how to build the kind of playing ability you’ve always wanted.

What Makes Us Different: Real Student Feedback
“When I first started I was all over the place and Josh knew exactly what I wanted which was to get some type of organization to my playing method and technique and he has just done a fabulous job of putting my skills and technique in the proper perspective as I progress in my guitar playing. I feel that Josh has tremendous skill set where he can pretty much position you at any point knowing your skill set and he is able to work with you and progress with you. If you are looking for an instructor that has patience knowledge and just has a relaxing atmosphere for you to learn I find that Josh provides all those factors.”
David L.
“I was really nervous to put Parker in something like this at such a young age. Josh assured me that he could work with Parker and throughout the months that he’s been here, if something doesn’t work I find that Josh has found different ways to approach teaching him… Since he started here with Josh he always liked to perform for the family but now that he can actually play songs and music and wants to play songs for everyone that comes to my house.”
Beth L.
“Lessons here have been really great because Josh has been able to point out a lot of inconsistencies with my playing technique cause I have been playing for more than 15 years. I had always taught myself before so I had a lot of issues with the nitty-gritty parts of the technique that was preventing me from getting better so that’s one of the biggest things that he’s definitely helped a lot with.”

Frequently Asked Questions — Simplified
What if I come in for an introductory session and decide this isn’t for me?
We understand that not every teaching style works for everyone, and that’s okay! If you decide after the introductory session that our lessons aren’t the right fit, you’re free to walk away with no obligation. There’s no fee for the intro session, and we want you to feel completely comfortable with your decision.
What do I need to get started with lessons?
All you need is a guitar! If you don’t have one yet, don’t worry — we can help you choose the best guitar for your needs. You’re also welcome to try out a few guitars at the school during your introductory session so you can get a feel for the instrument before making a purchase. Additionally, we'll help you determine any other accessories or gear you might need along the way.
Why aren’t your prices listed on the website?
We totally understand the importance of knowing pricing upfront. However, guitar lessons are an investment, and there’s a big difference in the quality and style of instruction from one teacher to another. To give you a clear sense of whether we’re the right fit, we invite you to experience an intro session first. This allows you to evaluate the value of our approach, so you can make an informed decision — not just a price-based one.
I’ve never played before. Am I too old to start learning?
Absolutely not! We teach beginners of all ages. Many of our students are starting their guitar journey later in life, and we’ve developed a system that makes it easy for anyone, no matter their age, to get started. Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or want to perform for your friends and family, we’ll help you develop the skills and confidence you need.
I’m already an experienced player. Can you help me improve?
Yes! If you’ve been playing for years but want to level up, we’re here for that too. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, improve your theory knowledge, or break through plateaus in your playing, we’ll tailor your lessons to your specific goals. You don’t need to start from scratch to see major progress!
