In 1978, after graduating from the Guitar Institute of Technology (GIT) in [[Hollywood, California]], Wyatt joined the faculty and assisted in curriculum development under the direction of GIT founder Howard Roberts. After serving for a decade as Director of the Guitar program in what had become [[Musicians Institute]], he was named to his current position as Vice President of Programs with responsibility for overseeing curriculum development for the institution. He also maintains a regular teaching schedule at the school with a specialty in blues guitar.

Wyatt is also known as a writer, teacher, and director of music instructional videos, beginning with his first title, ''Rockin’ the Blues'' (REH/Warner), in 1988 and eventually including over twenty DVD titles distributed by Hal Leonard Publishing and Warner Brothers/REH/Alfred Music on subjects ranging from blues and roots guitar styles to comprehensive beginning guitar methods.

Behind the camera, he has also developed [[multimedia]] titles (''Play Blues Guitar'' and ''Play Rock Guitar'' CD-ROMs for Play Music, Inc.) and directed dozens of music-instruction videos for other artists covering a wide array of subjects and instruments.

He was educational consultant on Frank Gambale's Chop Builder. Wyatt has also written and co-written popular music instruction books including "Blues Rhythm Guitar", "Harmony and Theory: A Comprehensive Guide" and "Ear Training: A Comprehensive Guide" (MI Press/Hal Leonard Publishing). He is a regular columnist for Guitar World, the best-selling guitar magazine in the U.S., and has written hundreds of columns and articles for guitar-oriented periodicals.
