What's your approach to teaching Country Guitar?
I had some great teachers and learned a lot of country when I studied at Musician's Institute. After graduating I immediately started working as a country guitar player. I can boil down those years of experience into a few lessons and save you years of work. I like to teach all my students how to practice efficiently and how to improve fast. You can read more about my approach in my blog.


Do you teach virtual country guitar lessons?
Yep. I teach zoom guitar lessons, skype guitar lessons, facetime guitar lessons, and any type of virtual guitar lessons. They are effective, and most importantly safe!

What the heck do YOU know about country?
I fell in love with the music of Hank Williams on a long drive to New Orleans, where I used to live. After getting out of music school, I played on the Los Angeles Honky Tonk Country circuit, and played a regular country gig at Gilley's Las Vegas for years. I've even written country songs that have appeared in Warner Bros. films like "Nancy Drew and the Hidden Staircase". I love country music.

“Travis Raab first off is a great guitar player and a guy that I could just listen to play some kick ass lead guitar. Which is why I take lessons from him. He doesn’t get over complicated and will have you playing guitar like we all dream we can. Check out his site and decide for yourself but trust me you won’t go wrong..” -Bill Engvall (Comedian)
