Matt O'Brien
Started taking virtual lessons with Matt after a few years of playing and learning guitar on my own, and just after a month of lessons, he has helped me make significant progress.

Ramiro Marziani Music
In a handful of lessons with Ramiro, my understanding of theory and the guitar has increased substantially. Ramiro is a great guitarist and an even better teacher. Lessons are throughly planned out each week and . Highly recommend for anyone who wants to seriously improve

Paul responded quickly to my request of creating a gift card for my husband to surprise him on Christmas morning with guitar lessons. Would definitely recommend Paul!

Music Teacher – Jonah Lazarus
Jonah has been teaching my son guitar lessons for a few months. My 6-year old son really likes him and his lesson. He is very good at having the children engaged in music and keeping their interest on the instrument learning.

Paul’s Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons
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.

Guitar Lessons by Rico
Rico is AWESOME! I am only six lessons in and already strumming to songs. His technique is easy to follow and has helped me pick up the guitar very fast. I highly recommend him!

Paul’s Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons
Paul is great to work with. He is patient, and has been a musician all his life, something that becomes evident the minute he starts the lesson. Super nice and easy to talk to. This was my first of many more lessons with him. He made playing guitar a lot of fun after many years of not playing. I highly recommend Paul!

Paul’s Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons
Paul is my first guitar teacher and I feel lucky to find such a great teacher and friendly man for that first experience. Paul gives me homework to practice in between two lessons and I can see improvement!
I strongly recommend

Rock Hands Music - Chicago, IL
Shane is an excellent guitar teacher. I have been taking lesson with him since March and have very much enjoyed the experience. Very knowledgeable and flexible when it
Comes to what I am interested in learning. Also very flexible with schedule especially considering the crazy times we are in. We had to adjust from in person to online lessons very quickly and it was a seem less transition. I would highly recommend anyone at any age to take lessons with Shane.

Patrick Dugan Music
Patrick is a great teacher! He’s super patient, laidback and flexible and his style is good combo of bringing his own material and ideas as well as working with your guitar goals and things you want to accomplish. Definitely gonna keep taking lessons. 👍

Lotus Guitar, the New Way to Play
I’ve been working with Teague for a couple months, having started my guitar journey with a prerecorded online course. I’ve made progress faster than I could have expected since working with Teague; specifically, I’ve been making progress towards my own goals, not a generic lesson plan. Teague is an incredible, patient, and helpful teacher.
From Jason O.
Paul’s Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons
As a novice guitarist, I was intimidated to commit to guitar lessons, but Paul quickly diffused any hesitation with his warm patience and custom-paced lessons. He has not only taught me new techniques and songs, but very foundation things that I would've overlooked without a teacher, such as posture and thumb position. Stand up guy, who is very considerate of my work erratic work schedule! I would encourage any level guitarist to sign up with Paul. He has expedited my learning experience with his knowledge.
From Anthony S.
Paul’s Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons
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!
