Mike is a very nice guy, easy to get along with and a true master of his craft. My only mild complaint is that he knows so much that his default level of expectation for newbies (like me) is a little high. That being said, I was thrilled to have worked with him and look forward to working with him again when circumstances allow.

What I like most about Russell is that he is such an enthusiast and encyclopedic savant of modern and classic folk, rock, blues and country. If he doesn't know the song from memory, he'll fire it up on his phone and figure it out in real time. And he readily adjusts to what you want and need. If you just want a partner to play with, that's fine with him. If you want to go deep on music theory, he's there for you as well.

Colin is great at breaking down an overall approach to guitar into silos, and honing in on the core of each. He had a way with conveying topics like chords and improvisation that were very rewarding. Often I’d find myself sitting in a lesson with him thinking “Whoa, this is so simple and obvious in hindsight. How didn’t I think of it this way from the start?” That’s a great feeling. He’s always passionate in explaining different angles of improvisation, and the enthusiasm he had while breaking down areas of music theory and technique got me feeling more enthusiastic about those areas myself!
