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

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

Jeff G says, "I do not write very many reviews but I would be doing a disservice to the community by not spreading the word about Guitar teacher Sergei. What an amazing person who is so passionate about music and teaching those that want to learn.My 11 year old son has been taking lessons from Sergei for nearly 4 years now. Sergei is an excellent teacher that has really fostered a love music in my son. He has a deep understanding of music theory and through his patience and dedication he effectively communicates his knowledge.Sergei has not only been invaluable teaching my son guitar technique but also has assisted him with learning new songs for my sons jazz band which he plays in school.Sergei musical experience, including his education at the prestigious Berkeley School of Music undoubtedly contributes to his exceptional teaching skills. I highly recommend Sergei to any aspiring child or adult wanting to learn guitar. I would be more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding my experience taking guitar lessons with Sergei. Give Sergei a call you can't go wrong."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

Reviews for Los Angeles rock guitar instructors
Jane L.
I decided to give guitar lessons another try after being self taught and feeling very limited in what I’d been able to teach myself, which is, admittedly… not a whole lot. I have to say, Mike is an absolute joy to work with and a wonderful teacher. I’m only on my 3rd lesson, but I can see clear improvement with my playing and I feel like I’ve learned so much already (and its not overwhelming, its just fun). My lessons with him have quickly become the highlight of my week and I find myself truly looking forward to my next lessons. I’ve tried a few teachers in the past but they never really seemed to understand I wanted to learn my instrument- not just a few songs to have in my back pocket. Of course learning songs is the ultimate goal, but I truly appreciate that Mike takes the time to use songs in order to teach the instrument itself and goes beyond just learning how to play some chords around the campfire that sound good. He also took the time to learn what I wanted to get out of my lessons and took into account the styles of music I wanted to play. He’s unbelievably patient, kind, clear, organized and supportive (which is huge for me because building up confidence with my playing is a major goal of mine). I just can’t say enough about how awesome he is and I feel like the sky is the limit with my playing now that I have found someone who is so knowledgeable and obviously loves being a teacher. Trust me, he rocks.
