Tina B. says, "I'm an odd duck in terms of my guitar playing -- I've played on and off for years, and have finally decided that what I want to play more than anything else is music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Lucky for me there's a man named Allan Alexander who has published several books of this historical music -- and lucky for me I found John Veit!
During the pandemic I followed the folk learning path from Fender Play, an online system which was free for new users at that time. It filled in a number of gaps in my knowledge, but didn't have any way to get detailed feedback from instructors and didn't really incorporate any techniques for classical guitar. I finally decided several months ago that I needed some one-on-one lessons with someone in person. This website (lessons.com) led me to John.
Lessons have been *awesome*. I came in with a number of songs I wanted to play better -- starting with "Jesu the Joy of Man's Desiring" which was my mom's favorite song. After watching & listening to me play it, John was able to give me advice on how to handle some of the awkward transitions more smoothly. It's taken some practice to incorporate those changes but they've made a huge difference in how the song sounds.
So far my lessons have covered advice on specific songs, music theory, and playing technique. I'm learning *tons* and I couldn't be happier.
Definitely the start of a beautiful relationship. I highly recommend John!" Read more
