Richard S. says, "Ahmad is an easy going teacher who kicks my butt at the same time. He's a stickler for the foundational elements, which is exactly what I need to take my guitar playing to the next level. He is truly interested in seeing me improve. I'm a songwriter and I need to up my game to be able to hang with co-writers who are more advanced musically, and I also have the goal to play out at writers rounds and open mics and I need to get a little more proficient for that. We're playing acoustic. We've done both Skype and in-person lessons. Highly recommended. Good location. Update: I recently joined his Guitar Mastery Apprenticeship program, and it is fantastic. Wish I joined earlier. I want to make a living out of my passion playing guitar and Ahmad said he can help. He did! 3 month into the program I am making more than $10k/month from performing and publishing songs. Next month is on pace to beat that amount! I like and appreciate Ahmad!"See more

Anthony G. says, "I've been taking lessons with Dan for about a month now, and I’m already seeing progress. From the start, Dan has been incredibly patient and attentive, tailoring each lesson to my pace and goals. I’ve always wanted to learn guitar but struggled with finding the right approach— Dan has made the learning process both accessible and enjoyable. Overall, I’m really grateful for the opportunity to learn from someone so skilled and passionate about teaching."See more

Rae R. says, "I actually don’t know where to start. Matt and myself have been working together for a couple of weeks now,and I must say his understanding to meet me where I’m at on the guitar has been second to none. He breaks everything down for a beginner to understand, he’s willing to go in depth and beyond to help you be the best guitarist you can be."See more
