    Garrick Davis is is easily the most artistic, fun, and creative guy I know. I have been taking lessons from him for four years now and if there is any thing I can say about him is that he is a great person and a wonderful roll model. Don't doubt him for a second he has amazing skills with the guitar and he will never leave you in the dust. He is grate at teaching you not only the song but each and every thing there is to know about each and every cord. He doesn't just teach you how to play songs, he teaches you how to play guitar.

    Garrick's the Best.......He can literally play anything;and he loves music-All music-.And what makes him such a great teacher is that he loves helping you, and seeing you learn whatever it is that you want to learn.He can really inspire you while you're learning;because as he's teaching you,you feel as if he's learned something in the process too.

Question and answer

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Find a seasoned guitar instructor. It may cost more but you'll get better results.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. I consider myself a guide. I am self-taught but it is through working with many students that I have learned how complex learning guitar can be. I teach Blues for building a sense of rhythm/dynamics/structure and Beatles music for learning chords and learning song structure. I actually work with all kinds of music from metal(Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold) to singer/songwriter(Taylor Swift) and more. Check out my YouTube lesson videos to see the variety of styles my past and current students learn, by choice!

My main goal is to help create a satisfying foundation for my students and clientele to understand this great instrument and it's potential to create bridges, build self-esteem and lines of communicate 'for life'.

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. It is possible to share something real and of substance. I love to see progress by students that try their best.
