About Instructor Sarah Spisak
Sarah’s love for metal guitar is evident in her ground-breaking and innovative lessons. She makes music theory fun and accessible while you learn crunchy riffs and melodic solos.
Her fascination with guitar began as early as first grade, when she made a “guitar” from construction paper. Her next instruments were cigar boxes with rubber bands. She started playing a real instrument in the sixth grade. In high school Sarah bought the new Metal Method course (1983). Possibly because learning to play guitar wasn’t easy for her she developed a great empathy for the challenges that her students face which makes her an excellent teacher.
Sarah is a graduate of the original Metal Method course and (almost as importantly) has a Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Mills College. When she first went online she went straight to MetalMethod.com and worked as a volunteer. She now has her dream job with the company that she has loved since 1983.
