I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Fred for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made. Fred’s patience is truly remarkable; he takes the time to ensure I understand each concept before moving on. He has an exceptional ability to explain the theory behind the music, making complex ideas easy to grasp and apply. What sets Fred apart is his personalized approach to each lesson. He tailors the instructions to fit my individual needs and learning style, ensuring that I’m always engaged and motivated. Whether I’m working on mastering the basics or tackling a challenging song, Fred provides clear, step-by-step guidance that helps me improve with every session. Fred’s focus on learning songs I want to play has made the experience even more enjoyable. He listens to my interests and incorporates them into the lessons, making practice feel less like a chore and more like a fun and rewarding journey. If you’re looking for a guitar teacher who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also genuinely invested in your musical growth, Fred is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!

I wish I could choose all five qualities instead of only the three allowed by thumbtack! Fred has been absolutely an amazing teacher for our 16 year old daughter. He is gentle, supportive and meets her where she is at both musically and in terms of her capacity to take on new material, and musical theory. He has allowed her to guide the direction in musical genres they explore and is open to it all. She has grown musically quickly, starting off learning chords in the very beginning, cut to 7 months into it playing a Dulcimer and singing Tom Petty’s “Free Falling” to her entire school. Also I should add our daughter struggles with mental health issues, and Fred has been so incredibly understanding and supportive and has contributed to our daughter finding peace and refuge in guitar and singing. We are very grateful and we highly recommend Fred as an instructor.

I hired Fred to teach my husband how to play acoustic guitar as a surprise gift. We started off with the expectation of just trying things out but ended up continuing the lessons. Here is what my husband had to say: Fred is a really great instructor. He has a plan for each lesson and adapts to your interests and skill level. I have come a long way from not knowing anything about music to playing entire songs with difficult chords and styles. Fred is most importantly patient and persistent. He wants his student to succeed and works on improving their skill in an approachable way. We’ve also had Fred do some introductory lessons with kids and he has been great there too.

I started guitar lessons with Fred about 3 months ago and the experience has been great! Prior to these lessons I’d dabbled with self-teaching but wanted some more structure and motivation to play. He’s really good at tailoring lessons to your music taste and I really liked how he used segments from songs I like to teach me various techniques (hammer ons, pull offs, slides, etc.). Would highly recommend!
