id through Take Lessons reviews and am SO glad I did. He is such a fantastic teacher, making lessons fun and relaxing after a long day. After just a little over a year, I have learned such a wide range of skills thanks to David's willingness to develop a program filled with variety.

Since retiring in 2006 I tried a few others but David brings expertise in not only guitar mechanics
and virtuosity but an understanding of deeper musical principles and its application to the guitar student.
Dave is a true genius in the art of Guitar, no matter the musical genre - or -whether its Led Zepplin or Brouwer classical guitar method.he can't be beat.

Tim is dedicated to helping me become a better musician, and comes prepared to teach at every le
sson. There is no doubt he knows his stuff, and is great at communicating loads of information in a digestible way. He also makes the lessons fun which is what playing music is all about for me.
I've had many guitar teachers in the past, and I rank Tim among the top. Really glad I found him and looking forward to learning more and more under his guidance.
Play on!"
