Jeanette G. says, " I have had the pleasure of knowing Johnny Bayless for over 10 years. Shortly after moving to the bay area, I decided to become serious about my dream of learning to play the guitar. I naturally went to the closest guitar center and signed up for music lessons. I chose him as my teacher because he looked like a rock star but was an interesting dichotomy of many different styles of guitar, such as classical, country and blues. When he left the company to start his own business, I followed him because his style of teaching was incredibly dynamic, and he was able to adapt lessons to my learning needs which at times was painfully slow. When life got in the way and I had to stop my lessons, he never gave up on me and my dream, and would periodically check in to see if I was ready to pick up my lessons where I left off. When I finally returned to my lessons with him, it was like 4 years had not gone by. He quickly got me back to speed and then finally turned me into a true musician. I no longer feel like a fraud when I pick up my guitars and I can actually enjoy playing them. Johnny has an ability to connect with a student and meet them at their learning point. He is patient and will ensure you understand a concept before moving on to something new. He will push you to be better and won’t let you coast, maximizing the efficiency of your time and lesson. His passion and enthusiasm for music and the guitar is obvious upon spending any amount of time with him. I highly recommend him as your next guitar guru and can promise you will not be disappointed.

Reviews for Newark bass guitar instructors

Recent success stories from people in the Newark area.
Laurie C.
My son took ukulele lessons for about two years and the experience was really good. He would still be with this instructor if our schedule would allow it. The instructor is very patient, attentive, funny and responsive to the needs of the students to make sure the students love music and make progress at the same time. A great way to discover music for the budding musician or to learn more skills for the more accomplish musician.
