Robert is the best guitar teacher I have ever see or had. He is patient, knowledgeable, and most importantly my progress was unmatched with Rob. Learn from Rob and surprise yourself with what he helps to unearth within you.
Great job! My son is so excited about learning how to play the piano. We are Looking forward to more lessons with him !
Robert is very nice and polite. I think the lesson was sufficient for the first lesson. He gave me homework to work on the D, G, and C chords. We went over the right hand numbering PIMA. I need to determine what my goals are in playing the guitar.
