Jeff has completely opened up my world of guitar playing. I truly look forward to every lesson we have because I always finish a much more complete guitar player. He is amazing at working with you on your goals and tailoring towards your skill and experience level. A passionate guitar player and efficient teacher. Looking forward to many more lessons to come.

I've been interested in learning electric guitar for years but was reluctant to pursue lessons after seeing the difficulty friends and family had in finding a quality instructor. My brother, for example, took lessons through a local music store for months and found that the instructors on staff (mostly broke college students) might have been skilled guitarists themselves but lacked the teaching ability to help others absorb concepts of guitar playing. That crucial skill is what makes Charlie such an excellent teacher- not only is he an immensely talented guitarist, but he is a patient, dedicated and encouraging instructor as well. Because Charlie is such an excellent teacher, his lessons have a clear structure and focus, building a foundation for truly understanding the guitar as an instrument rather than simply memorizing chords and scales. I am currently taking weekly lessons with Charlie and I am already amazed at the amount of progress I've made in just three lessons. Although I was an absolute beginner when I first started lessons with Charlie, I know that he has experience teaching students at a very wide range in age and skill level. At a rate of $35 for each hour-long lesson, Charlie is offering his skills at an incredible value as well.

Charlie does a great job listening to your goals. He wants to help you get to where YOU want to be, not where he thinks you need to be. He had me playing Rolling Stones tunes after two lessons, and although I have a long way to go, he's full of encouragement. Charlie has a passion for what he does and and he's as much an educator as he is an instructor of guitar. I'm just a beginner (a middle aged one at that!), but Charlie has me excited about where I might get to.
His lessons are fun. It's the fastest hour all week for me. He provides you with all you need to practice on your own and get ready for the next lesson.
These are no ordinary guitarlessons. Charlie puts you on a path to a lifetime of fun and realizing your passion for music.

Matthew is a great teacher. He took the time to talk with me over the phone and get a good idea of my personal goals and current skill level with the guitar. From there it's a personal lesson each visit designed to fit my current ability and goals. It’s really nice that I can just book an appointment when I want or have time. I have a busy schedule that’s always changing so the ability to set my guitar practice around my ever changing obligations is nice. His online program is a great way to continue practicing in between lessons. I would highly recommend Matthew.

I just started taking lessons from Jeff and already he has provided so much value. He’s definitely experienced and his first order of business was to restring and adjust my guitar.
From there Jeff got to know my musical taste and understand what it is I am trying to accomplish. He then started to teach me chords in certain keys and the shapes and techniques for hitting those chords. Not only is he teaching me technique but also the underlying building blocks for how songs are constructed.
I’ve been in search of a guitar sensei and Jeff fits the bill. I highly recommend.
