Dale G. says, "I began taking Guitar lessons with Jeff Brent in April 2022. I am 76 and figured there was no way for me to learn the Guitar. Most of my experience was trying self taught. Didn't work, only picked up bad habits. Heard about Thumbtack, figured I would give it a shot. There were several instructors to choose from. I choose Jeff because of his introduction "Learn Music From a Pro". That he is "A Pro". Jeff makes lessons interesting and easy to follow. He is patient, always on time. There were several times I was unable to attend a session and he made sure I could make up my time. I found Jeff to be very patient, Professional with his student's. He has the knowledge, ability and desire to pass on to his students. I'm truly grate full I choose Jeff Brent. He, without a doubt is a "Pro" and enjoys what he does. If I were to choose a instructor again, I would certainly pick him. Thank you."See more

Caroline Kearns says, "Ive been taking lessons on guitar and, more recently, ukulele with Walker for a little over year via virtual and in person lessons. He is extremely knowledgeable, a very patient, positive, and encouraging teacher, and makes lessons/ homework so much fun that it makes you want to really put in the effort to keep leveling up. Sometimes learning the basics of anything can get a bit dull, but Walker makes sure that he is tailoring lessons to your musical tastes and aspirations. Ive come so far in just a year and change and have experienced so much enrichment in my life because of it! Walker is insanely talented in his own right which makes learning from him especially motivating with the hope of one day being even a fraction as proficient and creative as he. Cant recommend him as a teacher enough!"See more

Caleb S. says, "I have been playing guitar lightly on and off for 30 years. I have been around guitar enough to somewhat discern talent and skill. When I decided I wanted to start over and learn classical guitar from a professional teacher I went hunting for a great teacher. Before starting lessons with Peter I met with a couple other guitar teachers and gauged them against others I have known. I chose Peter because I found him to be everything I was looking for. Peter is smart. He is both a highly skilled player and a talented teacher. He is dedicated to teaching guitar vs teachers who don’t primarily play guitar or teachers who don’t have any training in guitar pedagogy. Peter is a great communicator in general, which has helped us navigate my complicated schedule and tailor my instruction to my needs and interests. Peter seems to be flexible and realistic with the curriculum he devised for me and the goals we set. Peter has a great personality for teaching. In the journey of developing guitar skill, I think he is a great guide. He knows the art, he knows how to teach it, he knows how to do hard things, how to overcome challenges, and he has a deep trove of experiences to draw from in lessons. My lessons with him have been fun, helpful, and well structured. For the kind of guitar playing I am interested in, my search is over, Peter is a great teacher."See more

Matt G. says, "Tristan is the consummate teacher. He has a deep understanding of all aspects of the guitar. He not only is a great player himself but he's a wonderful teacher. He has an uncanny ability to take various concepts, some of which are complex, and simplify them with well thought out explanations that often involve apt analogies to non-music things. Some guitar teachers simply teach patterns and forms but never really get into what is behind those things. Tristan makes sure you understand the "why" behind what you are learning which always leads to a better result. Whether you just want to play the guitar as a hobby or want to see how far you can take your playing, Tristan is the perfect instructor to help you meet your personal goals."See more

Jessica N. says, "Me and my husband hired Der2Lov for the entire wedding day. We thought we may need two different bands due to the different vibes required for a ceremony and a reception but this turned out to be THE solution. I’m beyond grateful we chose them! For our ceremony we were hoping to create a warm and loving atmosphere. Not one single eye was dry by the end of the performance. They performed their version of our two favorite songs and Lovisa really made it special with her angelic voice. Derrick accompanied on guitar on one song and piano on the other one as requested. Then for the reception they brought the full band and absolutely crushed it! They both were out in the audience dancing, playing saxophone and singing at the same time, they even got my grandma on her feet dancing!! Also - super easy and delightful to deal with, they got married recently themselves so they knew what questions to ask and how to relieve stress in the best possible way. This was an important day and you made it even more special, THANK YOU!"See more
