Sorry but I can’t choose just three of those qualities because they all apply. These guys were just great in every way. Everybody really enjoyed their music and their sweet personalities and they were the perfect addition to making our day the total and perfect success that it was. Can't say enough really good things about them and will highly recommend Alf and Bill every chance I get. I wish I had a pic of me with these fellas but I don’t. My very best wishes to you Alf and Bill and I hope you continue to have every success.

Alf is great teacher! I am very happy to have found him on Thumbtack. I started taking guitar lessons from him having no techinical knowledge in music or ability to play the guitar. He came to the store to help pick my first guitar! Barely 2 months into taking classes now, I can play several chords and maybe even a full song if I tried. He shows passion in teaching. His lessons are very clear for a beginner and he is genuinely interested in my progress. I high recommend Alf to anyone looking for guitar lessons.

Alfonso is a terrific teacher and has been very helpful in getting me started. I am a complete beginner and Alfonso has been wonderful in answering my questions and helping me pick out my first guitar. His lessons are fun and packed with things to practice on during the week. After each lesson he sends a detailed email reviewing what we covered and what to practice on. He is very responsive to questions via email and offers helpful advice and encouragement. I would highly recommend Alfonso!
