Jimmy D. says, "The only way I can describe it in my own words. I have a desire to learn how to play guitar, I’ve been with other instructors and almost made me stop learning how to play the guitar. I found Bob and spoke with him and explained my issues and interest and desire to learn guitar. Bob has the ability to adapt to my issues and has made me completely comfortable and confident to continue learning how to play guitar. I’ve been one of his students for over a year and a few months and he has helped me so much with his patience and wanting me to succeed. I completely respect him and recommend him as a instructor. I wish I had him as an instructor from day one when my wife gifted me my first guitar." Read more

Greetings. If you’re interested in guitar lessons I would enjoy being the one to help you on your musical journey. I’ve been playing for 35 years, have recorded albums, love jamming with people, and have given lessons years ago. Genres include a little blues, jazz, mostly rock, metal, prog rock, but If I don’t know it, I can learn it. Love the challenge. I’m a former Marine, so I can be laid back but also a motivator as well as dedicated and disciplined.

Peter is very knowledgeable, and I've learned so much since starting lessons just 6 months ago. He's a great teacher for beginners and his lessons are very enjoyable. Both young and older students will benefit from his skills, patience and relaxed manner while teaching all levels of guitar.

Bob is exactly the kind of teacher I needed. He’s an absolute master of the craft and incredibly easy going, which means he can teach me anything I bring into each lesson to learn and alter it to my level if needed. He’s happy to teach theory, but also open to letting the student lead. It’s a great balance. If you want to learn guitar so it sticks- seriously book with Bob. I’ve improved more in a year than I did teaching myself over a decade.
