Shawn M. says, "I started taking guitar lessons for the first time 10 months ago and am thankful I found such a great teacher in Ahmad. His positive attitude and love of music helps me stay engaged and lessons are productive and fun. One of the great things about Ahmad is he listens to you and adjusts lesson content based on the feedback you provide. His ability to listen allows Ahmad to deliver a personalized lesson plan that incorporates your goals and gets you excited about what you are working on. Ahmad also has taught me techniques to prevent and address minor aches that come up while learning to play. He takes this seriously and shows you how to prevent and resolve any issues that come up. Overall, taking lessons from Ahmad has been a very positive experience. I look forward to continuing working with him to get better."See more

Karen T. says, "My teen son has been taking upright bass lessons with Andrew for a little over 2 months. I tend to make myself scarce during lessons but from what I have seen and what my son has told me he is very nice and patient and my son seems to feel very comfortable in his lessons with Andrew. (Any of us who had mean music teachers as kids can appreciate that!) My son really likes that Andrew really takes the time to circle back on concepts and making sure Parker is really getting things and understanding before moving on. I think it is really helping cement a strong foundation for my son. My son was playing the upright on his own for over a year and now he is appreciating the music theory that Andrew is providing. My son is always in a great mood after his lessons and feels like he is learning and improving every week. I am really happy that my son's experience with Andrew has been very positive, I would highly recommend him."See more

Reviews for San Jose rock guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From Richard O.

AHMAD MAZBOUDI - A.H.M.A.D.

AHMAD MAZBOUDI - A.H.M.A.D.

I'm a 59 year old beginner student of Ahmad's for a little more than a year and half and have really enjoyed relearning a new instrument with Ahmad as my teacher. I've always wanted to learn how to play guitar since I first heard Rock and Roll in high school, but always thought my short fingers would hold me back. Ahmad has helped build my confidence in playing the guitar and I feel like I am really progressing as a guitar player. I am able to play some simple songs, jam along with a backing track and have progressed to where I am picking up new techniques much quicker. He is teaching me how to play those guitar techniques that produce sounds that look really difficult but are actually much more manageable that I ever thought. He is helping me debunk the mystery behind this great instrument! Credit to his teaching skills. He is very punctual and has been extremely flexible with me when scheduling my sessions due to my constantly changing work schedule and that I live almost 50 miles away. I have thought about finding a closer instructor to home but I really enjoy his lessons. He is very patient with me, as my old fingers don't always want to do what the music says to do! I am actually practicing more now than in the beginning due to the fact that I am more accomplished and can execute more musical techniques and have much more fun playing the guitar. Ahmad is also teaching me musical theory, which I am not very good at but getting better with his help, and learning other interesting musical facts about the guitar and music, in general. We also have some really interesting conversations about life and how to be a happier person, which makes his lessons more than just an instructional session but a fun musical adventure that I look forward to each week. I highly recommend Ahmad to any level student, as I think he has much more to offer to each student than just guitar lessons, as I have found! You may not see me playing in a stadium or on a stage, in the future, but being able to just play a song on the guitar for my envious friends and family, has been a life's dream come true! Thank you so very much for making that happen, Ahmad!
