I have been taking guitar
lessons from Gary for almost a year now. My playing has improved
immensely as a result of his well organized teaching methods. Gary
introduced me to the "CAGED" system which finally brought
into focus for me the relationship between the various chord shapes,
chord voicings and scales. The fretboard finally makes sense to
me and I can find my way around it. Gary's strong foundation in
music theory combined with his excellent technical skills created
just the right balance for me. Best of all, Gary not only plays
well and understands the guitar, but he can teach it. I never felt
as if he was talking down to me. He is able to communicate and teach
complicated concepts in a very understandable way.

Gary showed me how to connect the dots. He opened up the fret board
with the CAGED System, so that I now know exactly what note I'm
playing, and the patterns that sound best with the key I'm in. I've
learned more from him in a year than I have in my past 30 years
of playing.

I've progressed so much as a guitarist since I started with Gary,
and I always have a pretty rad time during the lessons. Gary rocks.
