Brian was a very good teacher with me because not only is he a great player but he taught me how to learn things. To break it down and go slow and build speed over time while staying in time

Brian is an extremely talented player. But more importantly, he is able to break down all those concepts that can seem so intimidating to a beginner in a way that is simple to understand.

He's also a genuinely nice guy. Nothing worse than a teacher that wants to intimidate you, impose their musical tastes on you, or constantly make you feel like you need to take up some other hobby. Brian is not that guy.

He has a grasp on all sorts of musical styles and trchniques. No matter what song I brought or what artist I asked about he was able to work with me.

Now that I've joined a band and occasionally find play out. I still rely on the concepts I learned from Brian.

Many moons ago I took a hand full of lessons from Brian. I was already a working blues guitarist in Cleveland and Brian was one of my favorite players in town. I stated getting into Country music and approached him to work on Country Chicken Picking stuff which Brian was so great at. We did work on that, but more then just riffs he gave me some "ideas" that I still use to this day. Not only was I learning country picking, but concepts that could and should be applied to all styles of music. I've taken lessons from a bunch of guitarist's over the years but only a couple of them can I remember specifically what they taught me and Brian is one of them. Besides being a great player and teacher he is also a great guy.

I always wanted to take guitar lessons. I had been playing for a long time. I considered myself to be a pretty good jammer but I wanted to learn more. I never did take lessons because people i knew who were better than me or knew more than me would not give me the time of day. I met Brian at a jam night. He is definitely the best guitar player in Cleveland. I asked for advice and ultimately started taking lessons from him. I learned so much and i am not done. I will be back to learn some more.

Brian is a very accomplished musician. His approach toward me was very direct and he never made me feel inadequate as a musician. Absolutely top shelf. Don't hesitate.

Brian takes his time to learn what you want to achieve and totally tailors his lessons to the individual student.everything from reading music to ear training.or just jamming.i would have gave up playing all together had it been not for him! he makes music make sense!
