Background
=======================================
"This guy is fantastic! Super charismatic! Super encouraging. I am a singer trying to learn how to play guitar and I have definitely chosen the right person! He offers curriculum every week so you get to tackle different challenges which keeps you wanting more."
- Mia, Student/Customer.
"As a beginning bass guitar student, I'm very pleased with the progress I've made with just a few lessons from Ray. He has a training process that provides a "map" for improvement. You'll get on the right track with Ray."
- Mark, Student/Customer.
"Before I started taking lessons with Ray, I had a little experience playing guitar and reading tabs- but there were many songs and styles I could not learn myself. Ray not only taught be how to play the song correctly, but also taught me how to understand the music theory behind the song and style, so that I could learn to play songs I like by ear correctly in the future. I highly recommend Ray’s lessons for both brand new guitar students and guitarists looking to improve." - Brian, Student/Customer

The 3 reviews on Ray

Ray is great at personalizing lessons to fit the level of his students. He is fun and professional! He explains techniques and concepts in a way that even a complete beginner can understand!
I can trust Ray to teach me the right stuff because I have gotten very good In only two years of taking lessons from him . He knows lots of different types of music, and will most likely satisfy your need to learn guitar, bass, or ukulele.
I think ray is very knowledgeable and personable! Hes very well versed in what hes teaching and makes it easy to understand difficult subjects! If you want to learn guitar hes the guy!
