Payton is a fantastic musician and guitar instructor. He is able to teach any type of music from beginner to advanced. He is fun to take lessons with and very helpful with any problems you may come across. I have improved tremendously since taking lessons from him. He also can help with composition, theory and ear training. I would highly recommend him!

My guitar lesson with Payton was really excellent. He took the time to listen to my goals and then catered the lesson to me. He gave me direction for future lessons and attainable goals that also presented a challenge. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great teacher!
