Before going to Gregg, I attempted to teach myself a few things. And gave up after a few weeks. And tried again. And gave up. And some many months of occasionally banging around on the guitar, I had still not yet made anything that sounded much like music. At the time, it seemed like there was just an enormous hump to get over before my attempts to make music would be as much fun as shouting along with music I like.
A lesson plan and a handful of lessons worked around my mostly insane schedule, and I am playing music! (And it’s rather more fun than just shouting along.) Gregg is endlessly patient, encouraging, and positive. And focuses on what I want to learn, while providing me useful exercises to build my technical ability. Taking lessons with him is fun, but it is also absolutely the best thing I could have done to jumpstart my playing. I plan on sticking with him to take my playing to the next level.
Helluva nice guy who does a lot of good work with Guitars Not Guns, and an excellent teacher.
