” I just finished my third guitar lesson with Drew. Over the last 3-4 years, I have bounced around to 4 or 5 different instructors, never coming close to finding the right fit. Frustrated, and in an attempt to self-teach myself, I also tried numerous teaching web sites and various software programs, before finally semi-retiring about a year ago. After deciding to give it another shot about a month ago, I researched various instructors in the Marin area, and found Drew mentioned favorably in multiple reviews, so I signed up for an introductory lesson. I can honestly say that after only 3 lessons, I already have a much better concept of what I am doing than all of my prior attempts combined. Previous instructors have said, ‘if you want to play this song, copy these chords or these notes” without any real explanation why. At least in my case, Drew seems to have found the right combination of useful practice exercises, the practical application of those lessons towards my goals, and enough music theory to help me better understand why I’m doing what I’m doing, without going over my head. Drew’s ability to teach guitar is rivaled only by his ability to play guitar, which is considerable. I would recommend him to anyone looking for first rate instruction.”
