Jake is really flexible with learning styles and tailors his lessons depending on what you want to learn. He hones in on what it is you’re trying to learn, whether it’s music theory, guitar mechanics or simply learning a song. And of course, he’s a fantastic guitar player.

I have been taking guitar/music theorylessons from Steve for the past couple of months. I can honestly feel myself improving in almost all aspects of playing the guitar since we’ve started.
Lessons are structured really well with some warm up exercises, sheet/sight reading, then learning new chords and scale techniques.
Would highly recommend if you want to improve as a musician or hobbyists

We decided to chose Brian for my teenage daughter's beginning guitarlessons due to his willingness to teach her the type of songs that she wanted. Right away he connected with her and her music. He taught her the theory behind playing guitar as well as teaching her the tricks and skills of how to play the guitar. His practices were enjoyable and not just rote. She learned very quickly and therefore stayed excited about learning. Brian was always very complementary and encouraging. Brian also helped us buy useful equipment like a tuner, etc. She always felt safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Brian as a guitar teacher.

I’ve been taking remote guitarlessons with Trevor for almost two years and have had a fantastic experience. Trevor is such a thoughtful, caring, patient, and engaged teacher, who provides a well-rounded approach to learning how to play guitar and is proactive to customize the learning experience to your unique needs and interests as a student. Trevor goes above and beyond to be helpful and tailor the experience to you, in terms of working toward your goals and learning the style of guitar you're interested in. Trevor has a knack for explaining confusing concepts such as music theory in easy to understand forms, is as great at catching ways you can improve your playing such as your hand positioning as a teacher whose in the room with you, and is able to provide zoom video recaps at the end of lesson so that you can take what you learned and practice it in between lessons. Trevor has exceeded my expectations and I can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking to improve their skills at all levels. I've plateaued at playing guitar for decades and our lessons have translated into me seeing notable progress in writing guitar parts for the first time, which was one of my biggest goals -- thats one of many reasons I can say the return on investment is high when it comes to taking lessons with Trevor.

Ricky Katz is an extraordinary teacher. He has decades worth of guitar experience, and he is affordable. He genuinely cares about the wellbeing of his students, and goes above and beyond to get the student excited about the instrument. He has motivated me to dedicate so much time in my instrument, simply by making it a fun activity both inside and out of lessons. He is very understanding and knows what he is talking about. He is patient and willing to dedicate his time in teaching the student anything they wish to learn, whether it be theory, reading music or just to play a few songs for fun. I am honored to call him my guitar teacher, and if you're lucky... You'll be able to say the same!

I took my first lesson with Steve on Thursday 6/1/17. I'm very happy with him and his approach to teaching the guitar. I've been playing for many years and I know where my short comings are with the basics. Steve is helping me stay focused and rebuild my foundation. Plus he's teaching me how to read music. Which I know will be priceless in the long run with this or any instrument. We are keeping it simple and focus on reading music, music theory and the application of what I already know, but now connecting not just know how to play but the why behind the notes, chords, scales, modes, etc. I feel like a beginner all over again and I'm looking forward to each weeks new lesson. I feel like I've got a capable guide to help me along the way, at and affordable price as well.
