Mr. Bailey sets a welcoming, team like atmosphere with his student. Corrections are done naturally as part of process of learning. My grandson looks forward to each lesson and we hear him practicing often throughout the day.

Forest takes an intuitive approach to teaching, assessing where a student is in their guitar journey and creating a plan that fills in what may be missing and challenging you to reach beyond what you thought possible. After 40 years of playing, I'm finally feeling like I'm a real guitarist! Bonus: lessons are fun. :)

Forest is a skilled guitarist with the heart of a teacher. I’ve been impressed with ability to explain and demonstrate in ways that really make things click. The written material he provides for me to refer to when practicing on my own has been easy to follow. He’s accessible for questions between lessons. He’s also just a kind-hearted guy and makes beautiful music!
