Thea R. says, "I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Summer for the past 8 months, and it’s been an awesome experience! In that time, I’ve learned so many chords and riffs, and I can now play through some of my favorite songs. Summer is patient, accommodating, and an excellent communicator. She always makes each lesson fun and engaging. She’s a rockstar! Highly recommend"See more

Mike L. says, "I've been taking lessons now for 3 months. Been totally enjoying sessions with James. He listens to my feedback, and also pushes me to continue learning always providing clear guidance and instruction. I was initially concerned about how online classes would work, that concern was removed pretty quickly with the professionalism that James presents. So happy I started classes with him!"See more

Xiaojie W. says, "The teacher has a very professional and well-structured teaching system. Each lesson is clearly organized with specific goals and steady progression. In terms of bass technique, the instruction is detailed and thorough — from fundamental finger positioning and tone control to rhythm stability. The teacher also places strong emphasis on groove and musical understanding, helping the student not only learn how to play, but truly understand how to perform. The pace of each lesson is well balanced: attentive to detail while still encouraging independent thinking and musical expression. Under the teacher’s guidance, the student has shown clear improvement in rhythmic consistency, tone control, and overall musicality. A truly dedicated, knowledgeable, and responsible instructor."See more

Chris M. says, "I have been taking guitar lessons from Cole Ashmore for the past 10 years. I was a little concerned about starting to learn how to play the guitar from scratch in my early 40's, but I found out very quickly that Cole was absolutely the right person to help me on my guitar/musical journey. Cole is absolutely the best teacher anyone could hope to get for many reasons. He is patient, methodical and keeps things very simple and easy to learn. He also keeps things very light and fun, and is always open to teaching anything I have wanted to learn how to play over the last decade. Another bonus is that Cole is also excellent with his follow up after our lessons to send a quick video re-cap. This goes way above and beyond what was expected and is always a benefit to keep things fresh after our weekly lessons. I would highly recommend taking guitar lessons with Cole. Doesn't matter your age or if you are brand new like I was, an intermediate, or someone who has maybe taken some time away from the guitar and want to start up again. Cole will get you on the right path that works for you and you will be 100% happy with the results."See more

Brian C. says, "I’ve had a great experience learning with Erik. He is patient, encouraging, and really knows how to break things down in a way that makes everything feel achievable. Each lesson is well‑structured and tailored to what I want to learn. I’ve made steady progress and feel more confident every week, although a European tour still a few years away. I highly recommend Erik to anyone looking to grow as a guitarist."See more
