I started beginning guitar lessons with Tony in June 2019 and am still learning guitar from Tony today. He is a phenomenal instructor and has taken me to a level of playing that I never imagined I could get to. He is very talented and creative in his teaching methods. He is also very easy to communicate with. I am convinced that Tony can teach a student at any level of guitar playing from beginning to advanced level. He is truly the best! I would highly recommend him and am so lucky to have found him to teach me.

I've been working with Jake for about a year and a half, his lessons have been great for developing both a playing technique for and an understanding of the music I'm pursuing. His lessons are always a good opportunity to troubleshoot areas of improvement, get input on playing/practicing, and to just learn new music. I think Jake's instruction would benefit players of a variety of experience and interests.
