For nearly 5 years now, I have been taking guitar lessons from Matt on a consistent basis, meeting with him at least twice a month, but typically four times a month. Matt deserves all the credit for providing me with the techniques and concepts that I incorporate into my guitar playing today. His lessons are invaluable and I rely on his teachings every time I play, particularly in live performances. He made the guitar "click" for me and I am now able to comprehend what I am doing when I pick up my instrument. I can tell that Matt is passionate about teaching and he comes prepared with a well-organized plan that is easily communicated. Contacting him for lessons was one of the best decisions I have made for my playing, and I am grateful to still have him as a great friend and mentor after all this time!

Matt is an attentive instructor who tailors his lessons to his students' preferred music genre while accommodating their pace. His friendly and easy-going demeanor is always punctual. Having studied under him for eighteen months, I consider myself fortunate to have Matt as my teacher. I genuinely believe that I've developed as a musician through his teachings.

He possesses excellent teaching skills, demonstrating patience and willingness to guide you in whichever direction you want to go. Moreover, he is even the author of the definitive book on guitar music theory. Therefore, if you choose Matt as your mentor, you will undoubtedly receive top-notch training.

Matt utilizes song-based instruction tailored to each learner, making his guitar lessons enjoyable and effective for mastering a complex instrument. His lessons showcase his professionalism and dedication to his students by delving into their interests while strengthening their fundamentals. Remarkably, he retains patience and skillfully teaches my five-year-old son, earning my recommendation for all students, regardless of age.
