We never thought that our teenager Katie would be this much into playing guitar, this is when we met Vernon in Oakhurst, and he did classes with flexibility, keeping Katie's timetable in mind. he is a wonderful tutor.

I'm from Corona and I studied songwriting-focused guitar lessons with Vernon . his practical approach towards things has helped me alot to gain the confidence specially focusing on breating and flow during solos made it less stressful for me.

The Guitar Lessons at Glendale are structured and effective, allowing my daughter to quickly progress from mastering chords to playing lead melodies. Vernon motivational approach has been a key part of his growth.

With great detail, Vernon teaches fingerstyle guitar. In just two months, my skills have improved more than they did in a full year alone.
