Jared is an amazing teacher who has been able to answer all of my questions and helped me work on what I needed to work on to improve as a guitarist. He's also been able to help me establish a musical foundation has helped me figure out my own goals with music and how to continue practicing and improving going forward.
I've mainly been a self-taught guitarist, which means that when I started learning I had absolutely no understanding of basic music theory and how to approach guitar from a musical perspective. This meant for about seven years, I only knew how to mechanically operate a guitar without understanding how it really works. I started taking lessons with Jared to help me fill that gap in my playing, and it's really changed the way I view guitar and music in general. Due to financial constraints, I was only able to take lessons with Jared for about 5 months, but those months have definitely been worthwhile and transformative. In that time, I've grasped a better understanding of the fretboard layout, how chords are formed, how chord progressions are formed, how to utilize scales in my playing, what musical modes are and how to use them, and how to approach reading sheet music from a guitar perspective.
If you are an advancing guitarist like me and feel you are lacking understanding on why the guitar works the way it does, definitely schedule a few lessons! If you are a new guitarist, I also highly recommend! Jared has a a calm and welcoming demeanor that will make you want to keep picking up the guitar and improving!
