Hailed as a “music-theory expert” by Rolling Stone magazine, Desi Serna is one of today’s most trusted names in guitar education. Known for breaking down complex concepts into simple, song-based lessons, he’s the author of Fretboard Theory and Guitar Theory For Dummies, and the host of the popular Guitar Music Theory podcast. With a focus on classic rock and pop from the 1960s through the 2000s, Desi helps adult guitar players move beyond the basics and truly understand what they’re playing. Originally from Toledo, Ohio, he has lived in the Nashville, Tennessee area since 2014.
