I have taken lessons with Jeff for many years. When I started, I knew a little bit, but couldn't finish a single song. Now, I play in a small band as lead guitar. Jeff has the knowledge and experience to help me in every aspect of my playing. He is always ready to help with theory, technique, or tips that help my playing. I highly recommend Jeff.
