I have been playing guitar for several years and had a good foundation but was hitting a wall making any real progress, especially when it came to learning guitar theory. I had tried several other methods of self teaching, Youtube/Patreon channels and even group classes, but was not having any success. I was a bit apprehensive on starting personal lessons, but I have made vastly more progress over the last 6 months with Paul than I had made over the previous 3 years trying other methods. I think the biggest thing that stands out to me is Paul's personalized way of teaching. He has tailored specific exercises that have helped me learn concepts that I have tried to understand for years and how they are incorporated into different songs that we will work on. Prior to starting lessons, Paul sent out a questionnaire to get an understanding of experience level, goals, fav artists, etc. Every song that we have worked on to better understand the concepts has been from an artist that I had noted in that questionnaire, which makes "practice" much more fun an approachable. Little things like that have gone a long way and I think really set Paul apart. Paul has also helped me overcome some bad habits that I have picked up along the way, which has also really helped to elevate my playing. I would highly recommend Paul for any level guitar player from beginner to advanced who is interested in taking their playing to the next level. Really looking forward to continuing my guitar playing journey with Paul's exceptional guidance!

I’ve had a couple private guitar teachers before Paul and they all seemed to be doing the same thing: trying to teach me the way they wished they had been taught. Paul has a vast understanding of music and genres that when I want to mix up song options to learn on, he’s always able to accommodate and make more suggestions I hadn’t even considered. He meets me where I’m at, he takes into consideration what I’m interested in and is able to tailor (on the fly, sometimes) a session to meet that. All the while pressing me to be better. He’s totally worth it. I highly recommend him!!!

Paul is an excellent teacher. I knew several aspects of playing the guitar before taking lessons and Paul helped identify a practice plan that worked for my level of skill and goals.
