John wrote an excellent response to my request for guitar lessons which clearly reflected my requirements. He then followed up with a call and we talked over the best schedule for both of us. Overall - John was very professional and did a great job fitting his approach to my needs. I'm looking forward to working with John to take my guitar chops to the next level!

While looking for guitar lessons on the internet for my 12 year old daughter, I found Dr. Hot Licks School of Rock and Metal. This would be her first experience playing the guitar and after the first lesson she already knew this is where she wanted to go. John Taylor is very patient with her, and extremely helpful by using the ideal one-on-one setting. She always looks foward to her next lesson. I would highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn guitar (any age beginners thru advance).Love this school!!!!

John has been my Guitar Teacher for the last 5 years and I dont even know where to start to explain how much John has done for me not only as a musican, but as a person as well. From day one John has had my highest respect and deepest admiration in what a Guitar player really is. He is incredibly humble about it, but John (without a doubt) is the most phenominal player i've had the honor to know, he is very dedicated to his craft and so on top of his game, and to say the least....extremely talented. John was always very patient with me in my lessons and one thing I appreciated most was that he made MY musical goals HIS musical goals. Right away, he asked me what I wanted to acomplish on guitar and we just tackled goal, after goal, after goal with some tricks along the way. Next thing I knew, I was playing things on Guitar that would have taken me MONTHS to learn on my own. I can easily say that if I did not take lessons from John I would not be HALF the guitar player I am today. For example, when I was taking a Placement Exam to qualify for a Music Theory class in college at MSU the only theory I knew was from everything I learned taking lessons from John. In the end I passed my exam and qualified for that Music Theory class with flying colors! One last thing I would like to say, is that John has taught me important lessons about music away from my Guitar that have even helped me in non-musical situations. There would be days where I would beat myself up on my playing or feel down about my situation with various bands here and there and John has rebuilt my confidence time and time again. He made me feel better about myself and taught me actually how to stand up not only for myself but my music. I'll put it this way, he believed in me when I myself did not. He does not get paid for that and he did it for no other reason besides the fact that he CARED. To the people reading this, know that John Taylor has so much more to offer than the average Guitar teacher and i STRONGLY advise that if you want to take lessons, HE IS YOUR BEST CHOICE! -Tommy Aragon

I found John's school from his ad at a local guitar store. I had started lessons with another instructor earlier in the year and it turned me off! It wasn't fun. I knew there was somebody else out there to fit me. After some research and phone inquiries with different instructors, I decided to try John's school. First lesson in May 2012. I hit it off and new it was the right choice. I'm 48 years old and finally getting the opportunity to learn and play guitar. I don't have time to learn how to read music, theory, etc. I want o play my favorite bands. John started with basics and by the first night, I was playing basic rock chords. John teaches with patience and will go at your speed and abilities, not his. He is passionate about music and his students desire to learn. This school is his full time gig. No other "day job". Now I'm playing full songs, not just the opening riff. He is more than a guitar teacher. He has the qualities of a therapist also! I consider him a friend now. There isn't much to change or improve on with this experience so far. He is very flexible and accessible for information and questions. The atmosphere is fun and relaxing but full of positive energy and our favorite music! You cant lose by at least trying his school for even one month and see how it goes? I made a good choice.

I have been taking lessons here for over a year because Dr. John is knowledgable, reliable, and fun. Exercises are created from scratch and/or you can work on learning your favorite songs. I feel comfortable learning to play guitar thanks to Dr. John's patience and expertise!
