Jeff has completely opened up my world of guitar playing. I truly look forward to every lesson we have because I always finish a much more complete guitar player. He is amazing at working with you on your goals and tailoring towards your skill and experience level. A passionate guitar player and efficient teacher. Looking forward to many more lessons to come.

Patrick is a great guitar teacher. He teaches at the pace I do best with and is very patient. I am still continuing lessons with him.

My son had been taking classical guitarlessons for a few years and was bored with his group class. Patrick was a breath of fresh air and was great with our 8 year old. He is very patient and listens to what his student's interests and goals are. Patrick is an excellent teacher and all around great musician himself! I highly recommend him as a guitar instructor for someone of any level!

Matthew is a great teacher. He took the time to talk with me over the phone and get a good idea of my personal goals and current skill level with the guitar. From there it's a personal lesson each visit designed to fit my current ability and goals. It’s really nice that I can just book an appointment when I want or have time. I have a busy schedule that’s always changing so the ability to set my guitar practice around my ever changing obligations is nice. His online program is a great way to continue practicing in between lessons. I would highly recommend Matthew.

I just started taking lessons from Jeff and already he has provided so much value. He’s definitely experienced and his first order of business was to restring and adjust my guitar.
From there Jeff got to know my musical taste and understand what it is I am trying to accomplish. He then started to teach me chords in certain keys and the shapes and techniques for hitting those chords. Not only is he teaching me technique but also the underlying building blocks for how songs are constructed.
I’ve been in search of a guitar sensei and Jeff fits the bill. I highly recommend.

If you're looking to learn guitar or just improve on the skills you have gained, Patrick is a great person to rely on. I came to Patrick with ZERO experience on the guitar, it was just a hobby I wanted. That didn't phase him at all; he actually embraced it. And after starting in November I was able to play a Christmas song for my grandparents. He's a great teacher. He specializes in Blues, but I'm a country boy. Not a problem for him, was able to teach me a lot of country songs with ease. The best part about him is patience and making each lesson about you. Anytime I was struggling he never got frustrated, and he always listened to what I wanted to learn and made helpful suggestions, never forced. So if you're looking for a great lesson, built off what you want and at a GREAT price: Patrick is your guy.

I have been going to Patrick for a few months and he has been great! I am fairly new at guitar and he has been very patient with teaching me the basics as well as showing me how to do things properly. He also is willing to learn any song I would like and is very good at breaking them down step by step for me. I am looking forward to many more months of great and fun lessons!
