Anna B. says, "I have been taking lessons from Payton for a few months now and I've had a great experience with him as my guitar teacher. I'm a complete beginner, but he's been super easy to learn from and always takes the time to explain things thoroughly and in different ways so you could find what works best for you. He does a great job balancing teaching the basics and techniques while also making time to work on what you want to learn and play. I've improved a lot with his lessons, way more than I would have on my own. I would recommend him if you are looking to learn or improve your skills, especially if you are a beginner, because he can guide you and correct your technique so you don't form bad habits early on. He's super supportive and encourages you to push yourself. At my first lesson I didn't have picks yet so he gave me two to keep which was really kind. I've really enjoyed learning from Payton and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive guitar instructor."See more

Munjal S. says, "First, I have to thank Thumbtack for connecting me with Max as Max and I have mutually hired each other for services through Thumbtack. Max originally reached out to me for hypnotherapy, and after building a strong working relationship and genuine rapport, he stepped into the role of my guitar teacher. Learning guitar has been a lifelong dream of mine, and Max has been an incredible teacher. He’s been playing guitar for over 20 years, has studied with multiple teachers, and has performed in several bands, so his depth of experience really shows—not just in his skill, but in how he teaches. His teaching style mirrors who he is as a person: patient, understanding, flexible, thoughtful, and deeply encouraging. Within just two months, we’re already writing my first original song, which is much faster than I ever expected. I feel genuinely honored to have Max as my guitar teacher, and I give him my highest recommendation to anyone looking to learn guitar—whether you’re a complete beginner or someone wanting to go deeper."See more
