Nick is Great! This is my first time taking guitar lessons and I couldn’t be more happy with my lessons. Learning something new can be overwhelming..I think Nick does a great Job taking that overwhelming feeling away and take it one step at a time. The after lesson notes are very helpful to keep track of everything you have learned and what to work on!

Nick is a great teacher. Period. Six months ago I was almost 30 yrs old and totally new to guitar! I had it in my head that I probably should have started learning earlier in life. Even though I'm not the fastest learner, but Nick has been able to keep things interesting for me throughout the challenge of learning a new skill. From spending time with him at his practice space I've learned that he has experience with teaching and playing all levels/styles. One thing I really appreciate is that each week he emails a new "Lesson Note" with updated goals and suggestions for practicing. Something a little extra to keep his students inspired, motivated and on track. Totally works!

Nick at PVD Guitar really listens to where I am with my guitar. He has provided helpful feedback to help conquer struggles and is quick to point out the wins as well. I feel he has taken the time to see what will work for me and tailored exercises accordingly. Nick maximizes our lesson time together and has really helped me enjoy learning / playing guitar.
