Gilbert Guitars

John drove from Bancroft yesterday to get some minor adjustments made on his SG to get it sounding like a rock and roll machine again.

For Timmay Kehoe, it doesn’t matter if you're 8 or 80, learning should be FUN. Click here to see the entire YouTube video: https://youtu.be/9w-Pv4YyoKk

NEW VIDEO ALERT! 🎸 Every great musician starts somewhere.

For many students at Gilbert Guitars, that journey begins with Timmay Kehoe.

Whether you're 8 years old or 80, learning an instrument should be exciting, encouraging, and rewarding. That's the philosophy Timmay brings to every lesson.

As a professional musician and member of Orillia's own Bleeker, Timmay teaches guitar, bass, banjo, and drums. But what truly sets him apart isn't just his musical talent—it's the way he inspires confidence, nurtures creativity, and makes every student feel capable of success.

One of Timmay's greatest strengths is meeting students exactly where they are. If someone walks into a lesson excited about a song they just discovered, he's happy to adapt the lesson and help them learn it.

Because as Timmay says:

"As long as they have their fingers on the fretboard, we're golden."

That simple philosophy has helped countless students stay motivated, engaged, and excited about their musical journey.

Whether you're picking up an instrument for the very first time, returning after years away, or helping your child discover a lifelong passion, Timmay creates an environment where learning feels positive, productive, and fun.

And that's part of what makes Gilbert Guitars so special.

Students often arrive looking for lessons or their very first instrument. Over time, they gain confidence, develop their skills, upgrade their gear, and become part of the Gilbert Guitars family.

Because at Gilbert Guitars, music isn't just taught.

It's shared.
It's encouraged.
It's celebrated.

And as Timmay says:

"It feels like family because it IS a family-owned business."
