Reviews for Gaithersburg guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From Peggy K.

Rainbow Road Studio

We hired Justin to teach acoustic guitar to our teenage daughter. My daughter likes Justin's style of teaching and she picked him out of 4 teachers we brought in for 1 trial lesson (to make sure we found the teacher that clicked best). Justin has a great personality and he is very patient, respectful and knowledgeable. We highly recommend him.

From Cory S.

I have been playing guitar for 10 years, often using tabs or song books from the internet. During this time, I was never able to make my playing sound like the song, which was discouraging. Lessons with Dennis gave valuable insight not only to what I was doing incorrectly, but also how to practice to make my playing better. Techniques that are not covered in any books that I read, or the videos that I watched were invaluable in improving my skills. Dennis also uncovered tabs for songs that teach a certain technique (e.g., pull-offs in 'Time' by Pink Floyd); Dennis also took the time to not only find the tab, but also fixed the tab and put together an arrangement. Each class Dennis gave was packed with new techniques, new songs, and discussion. One class was not enough to absorb all of the information. However, Dennis also would send out videos covering the points covered in the class. I found these videos HUGELY helpful in actually learning the material. As a parent of 2 kids with a lot of activities, and a full-time job, competing priorities often caused a time conflict. Dennis was flexible with timing of classes, and even if a class was postponed, if there was a question that I had, an email would come back from Dennis, with either an explanation or a video to help. I cannot recommend Dennis highly enough. I was skeptical about how well long-distance and video learning guitar would work, but Dennis has put a lot of work in to adapting to the new normal, and I am learning a lot! PS. He is also fun to converse with!
