I used to freeze up just thinking about playing in front of people. Then I started working with Nathanael at that little music space in Stapleton. First time I got through a whole song at an open mic without my hands shaking.Best damn feeling ever.

I've attempted to learn acoustic guitar using apps in the past, but nothing compares Nathanael who can spot your errors and guide you through corrections immediately.

I was struggling a lot to find the right tutor, but then I found Nathanael . He mixes drills with jam sessions, which has made learning so much more enjoyable. My teen now loves learning everything from chord theory to lead solos.
