Reviews for Arlington guitar instructors on Thumbtack

From David M.

Jason Bomani

Our son takes guitar lessons with Jason. I like how he focuses on fundamentals but is responsive to the student’s tastes.

Waldron Guitar Academy

I’ve had a great experience taking guitar lessons with WGA. Within just a few days of contacting WGA, I was taking lessons with a guitar instructor who is a great fit for me, based on my level of experience and my interests. Brian is very organized and responsive, making all the logistics of scheduling and payment easy. My instructor Cheryl is a great teacher, and her original arrangements of popular songs make learning guitar accessible and fun for me as a beginner. I strongly recommend Cheryl and WGA!

In just two lessons with Kevin I’ve learned more, and had more fun, than during the entire 4 years of guitar lessons I took in my teens. Kevin’s enthusiasm as teacher and a musician is contagious, and I’m really looking forward to learning from him.

David is a really great guitar instructor. He's been great at picking apart songs I can't find tabs for, general advice, and catching issues. Great for both remote and in person lessons. I'd strongly recommend David.

I've been taking lessons with Peter for about 4 months no and have thoroughly enjoyed every single lesson. He's truly a professional - his incredibly thorough knowledge shines through in every lesson, and he always strives to share his experiences and best practices with you so that you learn and grow. As his profile says, everyone learns differently and has different goals, so he does not apply a cookie cutter approach to teaching. He will be honest about your habits and progress and cares about you achieving your goals. He's easy to talk to, interesting, intelligent, and an all-around fantastic teacher. If you want to learn guitar, choose Peter.

Mike's Guitar Studio

I'm a 40-something beginner with no musical background. I've always wanted to play guitar. After several months of messing around with youtube videos and canned online lessons, I started working with Mike about 8 weeks ago. I'm really glad I did. He is a great instructor. He is patient and takes an interest in tailoring the learning plan to my interests and goals, he is responsive and sends notes after lessons, and he is very encouraging! As other reviewers have said, he emphasizes timing and practicing with a metronome, and he provides clear direction on how to spend practice time. For me, a busy professional with a family, this has been key. I see improvement in just a short time and am looking forward to continuing to work with Mike.
