After years away from the guitar I found the perfect guide in Desmond from Anaheim Hills. We began with acoustic fingerstyle and I am now becoming comfortable with both chord changes and picking techniques. His lessons feel more like working together as a team than a typical class.

After trying several instructors, we found Desmond in East Bakersfield. His calm demeanor and encouragement have transformed my guitar experience. I never imagined playing solos, but with his guidance, I've achieved that milestone.

Over in Mountain Vista Ranch, Desmond has been instrumental in guiding my son into the world of classical guitar. Starting with fingerstyle basics and sheet music reading, the lessons strike a great balance between fun and focused challenge.
