LA’s #1 Guitar Teacher

Do you want to learn some blues guitar?

Wanna play like Stevie Ray Vaughan, BB King and Eric Clapton?. I have a 5 star rating on Google and Yelp.

And I can show you how to be a burning blues player in no time, no matter your age or skill level.


What's the trick to being a killer blues guitarist?
1) Vibrato. Your vibrato is your calling card, it's what defines you. You can identify legendary players by their vibrato alone.
2) Phrasing. Even if you're fast, have great tone, and a great vibrato, if you blabber non stop without some solid phrases and motif, your playing will suffer.
3) Timing. What do Albert Collins, Jimi Hendrix, and John Mayer all have in common? They are incredible blues guitar players because of their timing. They have amazing rhythm!
4) Work with a mentor who has dozens of great Testimonials

What is your approach to teaching Blues Guitar?
Every lesson is tailored to the experience, interests, and strengths and weaknesses of each individual student. Some students know exactly what they want to learn, they don't want to hear what I want to teach them, and I am totally cool with that. If you know what you want, let's take care of that! Other students are stuck in a rut and aren't sure what they should be working on. In this case I'm happy to design a lesson plan and explain how to become the blues guitar player that you want to be. I teach my students the art of effective practice and that's why I'm the best guitar teacher in Los Angeles. Learn more in my Blog from the Best Guitar Teacher in Los Angeles


Are you offering blues skype guitar lessons?
Yes! No matter where you live, I am happy to work with you virtually. I'm offering virtual blues guitar lessons via skype, zoom, and facetime.

What about blues guitar lessons for kids?
Yes I teach all ages. Kids, adults, elderly, left handed blues guitarists.

Does Travis teach advanced students?
Yes. If you already know the blues, know the licks and styles of your favorite player, but still feel that your playing lacks something, give me a call. Dynamics, touch, tone, there's so many things that define your approach to the guitar. Developing a motif alone is something that every player can learn. I'm a student of the guitar, and still learning myself, and I hope to show you the little tricks I've picked up to constantly improve my own playing.

“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)
