The music of El-magico, Hector Lopez, creates feels brand new and strangely familiar. The music he produces shows his musical intuition. The passion he feels for teaching and engaging people with music is inspiring. El-magico works hard every day sharing his music and talent with anyone who dares to listen and learn with him.

Teaching is like taking a glimpse into the universal pool of knowledge. You share a lot but also you learn plenty of new stuff in the process and of course you enjoy it.

    Hector has a great ability to dial in to the students level and teach them theory while giving them rewarding things to practice with that dont feel like theory. His breadth of musical knowledge allows him to adapt to many musical tastes, making the classes more enjoyable.

    I have been taking private guitar lessons from Hector for several years and would highly recommend him to anyone interested in playing whatever genre of music. He has professional experience playing in a band and has won several prestigious music awards for his artistic production as a guitar player. Moreover, he is very patient, attentive to your learning needs, and up-to-date on the latest technology. He is a great instructor for those who value individual creativity and interpretation over simply reading music. Hector has an intuitive ability to help you make connections in order to develop a deeper understanding of what you are playing. First-class instructor!

    I started doing some quick learning blues lessons on a music store many years ago, the response was so good that I end up as a manager of that store.

    Here in Minnesota I started working as a referred teacher with Guitar Center Edina.

    I am very good with kids and first time guitar players, but also enjoy advance teaching more related to studio recording and performance.

    I travel to Mexico Playa del Carmen to my daughters wedding and I play at the wedding party for her. my best play ever.

    Figure out if the teacher fills your expectations and do some research of his playing (Band, records?)

    Ask the teacher an opinion of your guitar and equipment, 80% of the times you don't learn due to not having the right equipment.

    Set some realistic goals and talk about with your trainer, find some one with a system that fits your time to practice and expectations.
