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

Catherine M. says, "I’ve had one lesson so far after a few years of being self taught and honestly Sebastian managed to contextualize a lot of things I had been missing! In one lesson I’ve learned the first steps in the next stage of my bass playing. They conveyed information succinctly and were willing to make accommodations where I needed them! Would highly recommend."See more

Robert K. says, "Andy, who is Berkeley trained, is a wonderful person and musician. He has worked with our 11 year-old daughter, and she has greatly excelled with her guitar skills. Andy makes it fun and helps the student find their full potential. He is wonderful in-person, but he’s also fully skilled at giving instruction via Zoom. Our daughter looks forward to her weekly lessons with Andy. Look no further. You’ve found your next guitar teacher. RJ Marina del Rey"See more

Winston K. says, "June is a great teacher!!!! We are doing lessons over Zoom (most of the time) as we live in different cities. I think this would make it difficult to teach but it hasn't at all. Her knowledge of music is vast. I am an advanced player and I wanted t learn music theory and broaden my musical vocabulary. I had learned some theory before but it was while taking piano lessons and it wasn't translating well to guitar. We have been working together maybe 10 months now and her teaching has had a positive effect on my playing. I have a better understanding of what I'm doing and hearing intervals has become much easier. We are progressing into modes and working on Jazz chord progressions now and with a bit of work on my part I am becoming a better musician. If you want to learn the Guitar or Bass or music theory and composition you couldn't ask for a better teacher. Her patience and upbeat attitude make her joy work with!!!"See more

Lindsey R. says, "I have always wanted to learn guitar, but I put it off well into my mid-thirties. I bought an electric guitar that sat in my closet for 3 year before finally signing up for lessons. I am very fortunate to have Steph Goyer teach me guitar. Her exceptional knowledge of the instrument and music theory plus her effective lesson style mixed with her enthusiasm for all music genres has lead me to unexpected outcomes. I am amazed by what I have learned in just my first 6 months. Even the first month surpassed expectations. I am excited for my lesson each week. I am very motivated to practice. I highly recommend Steph for beginners or advanced artists looking to build on their master skills. For me, Steph has entertained lesson songs by artists Lady Gaga, Hole, BOYO, BRONCHO, The Eagles, The Beetles .... basically whatever you want to learn or whatever inspires and engages you most. She is also accommodating when it comes to scheduling and has never missed a lesson. Great price and value!"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.
