Benjamin S. says, "I’m an older student taking guitar lessons with Izzy for heavy metal, and he is easily the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had. I’ve taken lessons from several instructors before, and none of them even come close! Beyond his truly incredible virtuoso-level playing, Izzy has the ear and musical understanding of a true master. What really sets him apart as a teacher, however, is his ability to break down extremely complex musical ideas into manageable pieces. Izzy does not overwhelm you with theory or technique; he blends the two together seamlessly. The moment that you get some sick riffs under your fingers, you realize you've also learned where the notes live on the guitar. Even as an adult learner, I feel confident progressing with him because he creates a learning environment where improvement feels achievable and exciting. Every lesson leaves me feeling like the next level of playing is within reach, and excited for the following Friday! It doesn't matter if you're finally ready to learn to shred, or if you are just looking for a teacher that makes learning guitar feel fun and achievable, I cannot recommend Izzy highly enough!! - Ben S"See more
