Jack E. says, "Jimmy is the absolute man - and a great teacher. I’ve been stuck at an intermediate guitar stage not knowing how to improve or conquer the learning curve to improve my playing, and he’s made that learning curve understandable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who wants to improve quickly."See more

Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more

Richard S. says, "Ahmad is an easy going teacher who kicks my butt at the same time. He's a stickler for the foundational elements, which is exactly what I need to take my guitar playing to the next level. He is truly interested in seeing me improve. I'm a songwriter and I need to up my game to be able to hang with co-writers who are more advanced musically, and I also have the goal to play out at writers rounds and open mics and I need to get a little more proficient for that. We're playing acoustic. We've done both Skype and in-person lessons. Highly recommended. Good location. Update: I recently joined his Guitar Mastery Apprenticeship program, and it is fantastic. Wish I joined earlier. I want to make a living out of my passion playing guitar and Ahmad said he can help. He did! 3 month into the program I am making more than $10k/month from performing and publishing songs. Next month is on pace to beat that amount! I like and appreciate Ahmad!"See more

Jessica S. says, "Chris is a wonderful guitar teacher who has the experience and patience to help you feel comfortable and capable to learn how to play the guitar! I hadn't played the guitar in a very long time and only played classical guitar when I was younger, so now in my 40s and learning to play chords, I was a bit nervous - but Chris is really great at putting you at ease and giving you the confidence that you can do this and giving you the right tools to help you get there. Also, I really like the virtual classes because I can always look back at the videos and pause/rewind to check finger placements/strumming, etc. It truly helps with the learning process!"See more
