Dennis recently performed at my daughters wedding, both during the ceremony and cocktail hour. He arrived on time and ready to go. Though the weather was not the greatest Dennis's performance was. He did a terrific job!

Denis played a custom selection themed appropriately for my surprise proposal at the Walt Disney World Resort hotel area. Though travelling an hour from his home, Denis was early, brought his own equipment, and was responsive during setup. In the moment, Denis was intuitive, and read each situation with accuracy and responsiveness, and was a consummate professional. All in all, he added a large heaping of musical magic to an already magical moment, and my fiance definitely approved, because she said yes! Thank you, Denis, for being a part of our moment and making it even more magical with your amazingly talented musicianship!

Denis is the MAN. In a little over a month he brought my guitar playing to the next level. I was stuck in the rut of playing songs, not playing guitar, and Denis's amazing knowledge of music theory led me to improve in a way that I couldn't from just watching YouTube videos. If you're in the market for guitar lessons, call Denis TODAY. I've learned from a few professionals and Denis does not have the ego and attitude that most do. He is genuinely interested in teaching and bringing the best out of people so that they can play well. Every lesson we had together was laid back and fun yet full of educational value. If I wanted to learn a song, he learned it and then taught it to me the next week at the lesson. If I wanted to practice a certain technique, he taught it to me the next week at the lesson. If I had something come up, he was understanding and genuine. We clicked right away and it made learning musical techniques that were out of my league so much less stressful.
Seriously guys, look no further. This guy is the bomb!

Denis played guitar at a party that I hosted for a friend's birthday. Having live music really enhanced the evening. Denis was great and I strongly recommend him. Thanks!
