ABOUT

Hi, my name is Travis Raab and I am a session guitarist and guitar teacher.

The guitar never came easily to me. After years of struggling, I finally met a great teacher, began improving rapidly, and starting having fun with music.

Since then, I've been lucky enough to work with Sean Kingston, Kat McPhee, Andrew McMahon and more (full credits below).

In a typical week I do a couple recording sessions, lots of lessons, and I fly somewhere almost every weekend for a gig (or two).

I know how frustrating it can be to learn the guitar - so it's always awesome showing my students how easily it can be learned.

And I've recently started an online teaching platform to reach as many students as possible, all over the world.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope I can help you on your guitar journey!
