John (Mandolin lessons with John B.)

John has been teaching me chords, which are very difficult on the mandolin. He's an excellent teacher.

Bob (Mandolin lessons with John B.)

Edwin keyed into where I was at in terms of musical knowledge, answered my questions with patience, taught me a great deal in just one hour and is professional. Highly recommend him.
