I have been playing guitar for several years and had a good foundation but was hitting a wall making any real progress, especially when it came to learning guitar theory. I had tried several other methods of self teaching, Youtube/Patreon channels and even group classes, but was not having any success. I was a bit apprehensive on starting personal lessons, but I have made vastly more progress over the last 6 months with Paul than I had made over the previous 3 years trying other methods.
I think the biggest thing that stands out to me is Paul's personalized way of teaching. He has tailored specific exercises that have helped me learn concepts that I have tried to understand for years and how they are incorporated into different songs that we will work on. Prior to starting lessons, Paul sent out a questionnaire to get an understanding of experience level, goals, fav artists, etc. Every song that we have worked on to better understand the concepts has been from an artist that I had noted in that questionnaire, which makes "practice" much more fun an approachable. Little things like that have gone a long way and I think really set Paul apart. Paul has also helped me overcome some bad habits that I have picked up along the way, which has also really helped to elevate my playing.
I would highly recommend Paul for any level guitar player from beginner to advanced who is interested in taking their playing to the next level. Really looking forward to continuing my guitar playing journey with Paul's exceptional guidance!
