Monty E. says, "Dave is an absolute gem of a teacher. I'd been stuck for a long time on the chasm between "knows a few chords and the tabs to a couple songs" and "actually feeling confident that I can play". It's only been a few weeks, but I'm starting to cross that bridge and maybe even start considering myself a guitar player. Before our first lesson he asked me for a playlist of songs I like to listen to, which he's woven into our practice sessions so that they suddenly feel attainable. This has also made listening to music way more fun. I notice riffs in songs and think "How would I have done that?" and can now fumble out my own version with a bit of effort. He knows when to let me mess around and figure something out for myself, and he knows when to step in and show me what to do. He even takes the time to record a short recap / practice video for me so that I know exactly what to work on for next time. I always leave our lessons in the best mood, and Wednesday evenings are now the most fiercely guarded block on my calendar. 10/10 would recommend."See more

James C. says, "I am happy to share my experience with Gaurav. He’s been adaptable, knowledgeable, and astoundingly responsive to my specific needs. Here are the highlights for me: * Flexibility of Schedule: As a remote learner in my mid-30s, flexibility was paramount. Gaurav's adaptable approach to scheduling has been awesome — adding an unparalleled level of convenience. * Adaptability to Skill Level: Gaurav demonstrated an exceptional ability to gauge my proficiency during our initial interaction. His teaching style adapts to my pace, which I found immensely beneficial. * Musical Insight: Gaurav is not just a technical instructor but a friendly guide. He goes beyond chords and scales, providing a comprehensive understanding of music. This broader insight has deepened my connection to music and enriched my overall learning experience. * Prompt Recap Videos: Gaurav sends recap videos promptly after each lesson. These videos have been an invaluable tool, reinforcing my learning and providing clear pathways for progression. Overall it’s been a blast. I tried a few different teachers before Gaurav, both in-person and remote and he is head and shoulder above the rest!"See more

Terri C. says, "The consummate professional performer! I booked Jon for my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party. He responded promptly to my inquiry, listened to my requests, and made some creative suggestions I would never have thought of that elevated the entire experience. On the day of the event, Jon arrived on time & had everything set up & ready to perform as the guests arrived. Jon’s knowledge of all eras & genres of music was mind-boggling (we requested covers from 1973-1974). I provide a list of a few songs that were important to my parents, but in addition, Jon took requests from the guests! He is an amazing vocalist, and his guitar playing was absolutely incredible! His experience as a touring musician w/chart topping artists for many years was definitely on display. He also DJ’d the second half of our party & had everybody up and dancing the entire night! I feel like we hit the lottery with this booking! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Who would have thought that I’d find such an incredible performer on Thumbtack! I’m telling all my friends!"See more
