“I just wanted to say thanks for a righteous weekend.  It was well paced (but fast), the delivery was great, and it was nice to have immediate access to your expertise.  I learned a lot, and look forward to honing my skills on future projects. Thanks again, it was very cool.”

“The class was absolutely fantastic! Going into the class, I understood a little about guitar set-ups but didn’t have the confidence to adjust my truss-rod or the skills to do a great job on intonation. After the class I am ready to setup all of my guitars!”

“I had a great time and learned a lot. You’re very approachable, knowledgeable and you make it easy to ask questions. In my estimation, these are the most important qualities for a good teacher to have.  Keep up the great work and I hope to take another of your classes in the future.”
