Jimi is a great guy. Has me laughing and learning at the same time. I must say I've only been going for about a month and so far he's taught me more than I've ever expected. I played some guitar as a teen and after dropping off for 40-50 years he has me all excited about learning again. I've only been going for about a month but I plan on continuing forever. Give me a year or so and I'll update the review right now I have to practice. LOL

I am a graduate from Berklee school of music with a master in jazz studies.
I studied music in an academic setting my entire life.
But then, I discovered that I was thought the fast way.
The way to just get a gig.
I then through a friend discovered joe Solomon.
Joe’s teaching is the way to internalize the language of music.
It’s the way to have a voice and a vocabulary.
Not only to get a gig but to feel and experience music.
Joe changed my way of seen music forever.
He is an amazing musician as well as an amazing human been.
If you are serious about Music you must have lessons with Mr. Solomon.
He will change your life.

I have been getting guitar lessons with Bryan for over two years. As a forty something year old, who can be very stuck in his ways, Bryan has been abundantly patient with my slow learning process. He is thoroughly knowledgable of the guitar, adapts to my learning curve, finds real life examples that helps move me along in the right direction. So very thankful I decided to go with Bryan as my teacher. He does the music world good simply being the kind of teacher he is.
