I had played guitar casually before, but working with Colin took it to the next level. He introduced me to blues improvisation and helped me perfect soloing on the electric guitar. Colin ’s lessons strike a great balance between fun and challenge.

Taking lessons with Colin is the best fit for me because he always assigns short term and achievable goals for me. Because of this I do not get overwhelmed and easily achieve the targets as well and most importantly, I stay consistent with the guitar practice.

The curriculum is well organized with rhythm and strumming techniques before exploring music theory . This thoughtful progression makes it an ideal learning method for students of all ages in South Tucson.

In Hawthorne Neighbors, Colin critical listening practice accelerated my growth. Recording and reviewing my lessons made a bigger difference than anything else this year.

After a long break, I found it easy to get back into guitar thanks to Colin ’s laid back yet engaging lessons in Chandler. He emphasizes personal style, rhythm, and tone, helping me rebuild my skills from the ground up.

Living in Haile Plantation, I came to know about Colin guitar classes. Learning about extended chords, modal progressions, and what not he taught it all.
