About Travis Guitar Teacher, Studio Guitarist, Music Producer.


"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 travel the world playing music. (Full credits below). I know how frustrating it can be to learn the guitar - so I love showing my students how easily it can be learned!"

Learn Guitar with Travis
“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)
