Had my first lesson with Steve, and had a great experience. He was great about communicating and working around my crazy schedule. He helped identify my goals, and focused our lesson on exactly what we had discussed. He's an incredibly talented guitarist and teacher, and seems like a great guy. Highly suggest him!

I learned A LOT from just our first lesson! He laid everything out in a way that made sense and helped me understand a guided lesson and plan for how I’m going to tackle learning the guitar! I definitely recommend working with him!

I’ve played on and off for many years but never knew how to find the path to get where I wanted to be. The handful of instructors I saw weren’t much help, and most seemed like I was supposed to tell them what to teach me. Steve brings a systematic method of teaching that has allowed me to see that I will eventually be able to play as I want to. After 6 weeks I’m discovering that the hardest part of practice is that Steve presents the material in a very musical context. Often I’ll be working the exercise and get drawn in by the way 2 chords interact with each other. Before I realize it, I’m lost for an an hour of blissful experimentation. Looking forward to many more of those hours in the future!

Steve is truly a great teacher, I have come along way in the month I have been working with him. I highly recommend him and look forward to many more months of lessons. If you want to truly get better at guitar and understand music, he is the man you want to go too. Steve is also a great player as well with many years of teaching experience. He tailors the lessons to you and the way you want to play. Very impressed with his teaching abilities.

With a month of lessons, I can say Steve has a methodical way of teaching that takes away the stress of learning a new skill. He makes sure to match your pace without getting repetive, so you never feel like you've hit a plateau. There's a new challenge to look forward to in each lesson that makes it feel like you're leveling up in a video game. I feel confident that if I put in the time, I'll continue to see progress in the months to come.
