Introduction: I have been told I have the patience of a saint. Whether that's true or not I can't completely confirm. However, what I do know and have seen from students that have studied with other teachers is a loss of connection to what it is that the student really wants to get in touch with. I see it time and again: a student comes in, has spent loads of money on lessons where a teacher does the learning for the student--thus leaving the student lost when they end up leaving the lesson and are left on their own. I teach the "how" and "why" of music--simple, fundamental music. Simply put: if one does not know what it is that doesn't work how will they ever find a solution--you can't fix what you don't understand is broken. I see immediately where the weak spots are and focus on solutions. And 9 times out of 10 they are easily solved and the student comes back seeing quick progress. That gives the student that emotional push--that confidence needed--to encourage more success. This is I believe what sets me apart from the "budget" teachers out there. Love to see my clients grow. I've seen a number of students go from guitar owners to guitar players--out there for real, playing and having renewed confidence in their own abilities. That's a great reward.

Bob Dee has taught my 11 year old son how to play guitar from the age of 5. His teaching is meticulous and fun at the same time. It all started withTwinkle Little Star and progressed to Pop, Classical, Rock and Jazz Songs, learning how to play scales in different positions, understanding Theory and Chord Progressions, reading Tabs and Sheet music, Soloing and Transposing keys, basically he is teaching my son how to be a complete musician. Bob Dee is the only guitar teacher you will ever need !

This guy will make you sound a lot better!! I have studied with Bob for more than six years and still do. I always learn new and very useful things from him. My playing has improved hugely since my working with him. He can quickly see and hear what other teachers can't. He'll teach you what works in the real world of music in New York City and beyond so you can sound your best. He is an extremely gifted teacher because he has a natural ability to explain how to play music and the guitar that is very clear and easy to understand. Oh, and he has a great sense of humor too.

Every lesson I take with Bob Dee brings me to a new level. He’s remarkably patient yet pushes me beyond what I believe are my limitations. After a few years with him I have gone from an amateur who could barely read tablature to a professional working in a band, reading music, and using charts.
