Reviews for Hendersonville bass guitar instructors
Recent success stories from people in the Hendersonville area.

I am an older middle-aged individual who recently took an interest in wanting to learn how to play a guitar. Attempting to learn on my own at my age is very limiting. However, finding an instructor who understands age as it relates to effective learning is also very challenging.
Fortunately I was referred to Erik. He not only has decades of guitar playing and teaching experience, but he understands how to assess a student's learning ability and subsequently build a teaching methodology geared for that student. In other words, he uses a "student first" approach: listen to and understand what the student's particular guitar interests and abilities are. Then he'll use his own skills and knowledge to "shape" the student's guitar skills based on what the student is most interested in.
Erik is very patient and has a great sense of humor. Both qualities are a must for my limited skill level. He provides the appropriate amount of the music theory to help me better understand the music that I'm attempting to play.
To sum it up, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or more advanced, Erik can work with you to refine your guitar playing skills. At the very least, give him a call to discuss your particular guitar playing situation.

I have played the acoustic guitar for many years. Kendrick has challenged me to play new sounds, and I am currently expanding my guitar vocabulary. If you are looking to amp up your guitar (or piano/ keyboard) musical skills, Kendrick has a wealth of knowledge and skill. He is able to teach the theory of music well and plays with much soul and knowledge combined. Highly recommended.

Adam is incredible! I would highly suggest taking lessons from him. He not only teaches guitar, but understand the importance of the understanding of music theory to go along with the knowledge of the fretboard and how the two intertwine. Taking lessons with Adam is a great experience for anyone wanting to learn or just hone the skills they already have and take them to the next level.

I am 80 years old. In my life’s journey I have met a few people who stand out as exceptional, in my opinion, and among them at the top of the list is Derwin Hinson. Throughout the first 75 years came my education, meeting my wife, the birth of my children and of course work. During this time I spent all of my spare time that I could afford hunting or fishing all over the U.S., Mexico, Costa Rico, Panama, Caribbean and Hawaii
Then in my seventies my legs wore out and I needed to replace my knees which did not turn out great, then I broke my femur and got arthritis in my feet. In 2014 I was fishing in Florida with a friend of mine and he said to me, John when you get home you need to sell your boat. I realized that he was right and sold my boat.
That is when God put Derwin Hinson in my life. He was working to help this praise band from our church get started and I had the opportunity the sing with them, I believe at that time I was 76 years old. After a few months I thought well it might be nice to try and play the guitar. In all my life I have had not one bit of musical training or talent.
In January of 2015 I bought a guitar and started taking lessons from Derwin. This has gone so well that I don’t even think about fishing or hunting. I have gotten to the point to where I can pick and play a few tunes. His patience is so amazing, I don’t understand how a man with his talent can listen and play with a smile on his face while his students fumble through the chords.
All I know now is that I have a hobby and something to do until I am an old man. I thank God for bringing Derwin into my life and I know that most of his students feel the same
Thanks Forever
