During their guitar lesson, David and Alexandria honed their skills on scales, chord positions, and string bending techniques. David introduced guitar tablature as a method for reading music, assigning Coldplay's "Sparks" for Alexandria to learn using tabs before their next lesson.

David taught Mis the basics of finger-picking guitar style using the song "Them and I". Mis practiced identifying bass and higher notes, worked on right-hand finger placement and coordination, and used a metronome to determine the song's tempo.

David improv classes in Tottenville were a revelation. he showed me how to turn boring scales into actual music. Now my solos have purpose and flow. Best thing I ever did for my playing!

David helped us when my son started to loose interest in his electric guitar. he is very patient and lovely who really helped with multiples techniques and encouraged to improvise in his solos. He is proudly performing duets with me now at home . David ’s combination of technical expertise and laid-back, approachable style made all the difference.
