"I like the fact that the lessons are so much fun! I always look forward to Tuesday nights -- I don't feel pressured to learn a new tune or technique for my next lesson; on the contrary I can't wait to learn the next tune and come back the next week for more pickin'! Greg's teaching style is customized to fit the student. He can adapt his teaching to suit your level, style, and musical goals. The learning environment is comfortable and will make you want to push yourself to improve. I've learned more tunes than I expected in a short period of time. I have also learned that I can play at a higher level with good advice and direction from Greg and practice on my end.  Greg has helped to make me a much better guitar player, which has ultimately made me enjoy music even more.  I highly recommend Greg to pickers at any level!"

"Greg is very patient and doesn't get angry when you make mistakes. I've had teachers who get upset when you don't know the song perfectly. I like that he makes a CD of each lesson. It makes it so much easier to learn the song when you can hear it.  I've learned a lot of songs!"

"As an older student picking up a musical instrument for the first time, (I've found) Greg is a very encouraging and supportive teacher. In addition to knowing the instrument and being able to explain clearly the how-tos, Greg is really both patient and supportive with his students. I started out thinking, 'If I can play a few songs, I'll be happy.' Greg has been a terrific teacher and after working really hard to get those basics down, I really have learned more than I thought I could. Greg stresses working to perfect your technique, and it's really surprising how things start making sense and you really are playing.  The atmosphere has been really positive and encouraging for students of all levels!"
