Can I talk to someone please?
Seriously, let me talk to someone
Yeah, of course, feel free to reach out to the LWM team at help@lessonswithmarcel.com, we’ll get back to you as soon as we can. We acknowledge that the site isn’t perfect but it’s always getting better. The majority of it was created from the sweat of Marcel’s brow and Marcel is a much better guitarist than web master.

Lessons With Marcel was originally entirely run by Marcel but the growth of the community has far exceeded expectations. In order to manage the growing numbers of orders and students Marcel now has a regular group of collaborators.
This includes our instructors: Mickey Abraham, Andy Hatfield, and Hayes Griffin. Who you will find teaching private lessons, workshops, and writing articles. Transcriptionists Loco Joe and Luke Black, their work has been a huge addition to Marcel’s original efforts in the Tabs section of this site. Mike Riedman who manages the vast majority of the data entry and database upkeep that has to be done on a website this size. As well as Kj who helps with writing our weekly mailing list and answering the numerous emails we receive every day.
