I came to Dan for lessons after a couple years away from the guitar and in just a few months Dan has helped me surpass the skill level I was at a few years ago. He is courteous and patient yet gets you to work hard. He is very talented in his craft and can teach any style of guitar.

Great communication before our lesson, and he was excellent with my daughter! She had fun and learned something during our very first lesson. Very excited to continue!
