    Luca is the best guitar teacher! I had been playing for 5 years before I studied with him, and I’ve been with him for 3 years now. He taught me indie rock, improvisation, and reading. Luca helped me to expand my playing and gave me a creative method to develop my ideas, while resolving my technical issues. Because of him, I wrote much faster with my band, and they all said I got better. Lessons are easy and understandable; he always gives me handouts since he knows that I’m a very visual person. He has a great talent for songwriting, and being also a great drummer he can approach music from all sorts of angles! Highly recommended!
