Gregg is great; I started taking lessons with him 8 months ago and have really enjoyed my time with him. I was a complete novice when I first started and didn’t really know what to expect, given that I’ve never had a teacher before, but I have been very pleased with everything. Gregg creates custom lesson plans for me, and gives me new things to work on every time I come in. That said, I can’t stress enough the importance of practicing on your own. No matter how great the teacher, you’ll never get good without putting in the time. If you’re willing to do this, you can get really far really fast with Gregg as your teacher. I look forward to working with Gregg going forward. Just as a frame of reference, I couldn’t do anything 8 months ago, and now I can pretty much improvise (solo/jam, albeit at an intermediate level) to backing tracks with ease. Not trying to brag, just saying that working with Gregg, in addition to lots of practice, has gotten me pretty far.
