Joe's the man. Every lesson has at least one moment that feels like a major breakthrough in my understanding the layout of the notes, and at least one more moment that makes me go "oh I know nothing yet". It's cool to feel like you're figuring it and thinking "that's it there's only a few of these repeating patters on the neck I just have to remember these and I know everything" and then it's also cool to be reminded that you're only brushing the surface of what is hidden in these "few patterns". Joe is a master at giving you these moments of clarity and he's a master at introducing new concepts right when you think you've got it figured out.
I'm trying learn guitar and music in general later in life than most would and the cynic in me is convinced the adult brain is not as proficient in learning things that make a great musician like technique, theory, note recognition, or even just the memory required to get through scales. But even being convinced I'm fighting an uphill battle Joe is able to get me to remember a new bit of theory while also improving my technique in at least one way every single lesson.
Joe is able to take me as far as I can go with music theory for 10 lessons in a row, and then when my brain needs a break he can effortlessly change course and spend a lesson or two just learning a song or focusing on something less mentally taxing like rhythm or fingerpicking. Sometimes those breaks are much needed.
He's attentive too. I was worried lessons over zoom wouldn't be as effective as lessons in person. Joe pretty much notices 100% of the time if I used the wrong finger or if I missed a note and will always point it out and encourage me to correct that. Shows he's equally as invested in your progress and I don't know a more desirable quality in a teacher.
