This has been an amazing journey of learning. Robinson doesn't just show me how to play; they also explain why specific techniques are effective. I'm from Old farm and having a teacher like them here is a blessing. Their emotional phrasing technique helped me with my solos.

In Hamilton Proper, Robinson worked with a 13-year-old guitarist, helping her progress from basic strumming to shredding solos. Thanks to Robinson ’s speed drills and scale practice, the student now plays metal solos with precision.
