Meet Pat Thomas

Hi! I’m Pat Thomas.

I’ve always been passionate about music and the way it brings people together. For me, the guitar has been more than an instrument — it’s been a voice, a companion, and a bridge to connect with others. I love discovering new ways to share music, whether that means teaching someone their very first chords or filling a room with songs that spark joy and memories.

Performing has given me the chance to meet incredible people and share moments that stay with them long after the last note fades. Teaching, on the other hand, is where I get to watch confidence grow, one strum at a time. Both sides of my journey feed my passion and keep me inspired.

What I appreciate most is that every learner and every audience is unique. No two songs land the same way, no two journeys to learning guitar are alike — and that’s what makes it so exciting. 

Whether I’m on stage playing live or sitting with a student walking through a lesson, my goal is the same: to make music accessible, enjoyable, and unforgettable.

From Zero to Guitar Hero — Hear Their Stories

Real students, real progress. Lessons that stick for life.

I started guitar with Pat in 2011 and will always go to him for lessons, advice and learning. Pat is patient, very knowledgeable and a great teacher. And after all these years, he's now a good friend and mentor. I highly recommend Pat Thomas.

When I first came to Pat’s studio in 2011, I knew nothing about music—technique, theory, any of it. He patiently taught me the basics and led me to a place where I could teach myself and learn nearly anything by ear. I’ve been in the music industry for about five years now, and I still use concepts I first learned from Pat. I can say without a doubt I owe my career to his teachings—and I’m immensely grateful for his continued friendship.

– Sean Carroll

Patrick has not only taught me a lot about playing guitar but also helped me appreciate music even more than I did before attending lessons. The past seven years of lessons have helped me grow in understanding of the music that I want to express myself with, but also to grow as a person in whole. And I’ll always be thankful for that.

– Jonathan B.
