I've been learning guitar through Paul for a few weeks now, and honestly he has me hooked on playing! He's very realistic with you and gives you an actual practice plan for you to do when you're home. Your progress will definitely improve as long as you practice outside of the classes! He's very passionate about what he does and will always put your goals in mind when he's making curriculum for you! As someone who was very nervous about getting a teacher, Paul is super friendly and honestly deserves his own business one day. I'll be going to Paul for years to come I hope!

I’ve been laying for more than 50 y and s but did not know how to solo and improvise. In just a few lessons my ability to play lead guitar dramatically improved. Plus, Paul is fun to work with.

Paul is the Man!!! I have never played guitar before I met him, but I’ve loved it for a so long. He was very patient listening to what visions I had for myself, as well as, awesome recommendations on how to accomplish that; and insight on fundamentals that I didn’t know I needed. He even went above and beyond and checked out the local Library for books by my favorite guitarists (Al Di Meola, Guthrie Govan, Jimi Hendrix, Paco de Lucia). He has a wide range of skills and experience, an awesome studio and collection of guitars, is so kind and giving (he’ll give very gentle reminder about practice), and is really about his students. I really love Paul and the time I’ve gotten to work with him. I’m looking forward to the next lesson <3
