John's a nice guy ,  who helped me with  some start-up basics, as well as helping me get a better idea of what techniques,  scales, and chords to use, that would help me play the music I want to. Knowledgeable,  and  patient.  Highly recommend you check him out.

I enjoy the lessons

Even though I am not familiar to music (other than listening), John has been very patient with me. He makes sure that we don't go too fast or too slow on the teaching/learning process. One of the best things about John is that he welcomes any questions or concerns I may have. So even if I don't make it to be a Famous Rock Star, John is there to teach me to learn to play like one. Thanks John!!!
