Nirvana - Nevermind

"I have been playing guitar on and off for a bit but needed some structured lessons so I came to Jason. I was worried that I would have to start with a bunch of beginner lessons but he quickly gauged what level I was at and we picked up from there. He has an improvisation approach which allows you to play along with any of your favorite songs within just a few minutes, regardless of your skill level. Pretty awesome. Our 1-hour lessons fly by, and every week I'm wanting more. It's apparent he has been playing for a long time. I'm always impressed at the tips he gives when I can't get a song to sound just right.

If you think you can learn guitar from some websites or books, good luck - I tried that but Jason was the tool I needed to get to the next level.

And on top of that, he's really laid back and extremely friendly - definitely recommend him!" - July 21, 2010, by Shane Niebergall

"Jason has been a great teacher...I have been taking lessons from him for the past 4 months and have expanded my abilities of playing the guitar vastly. He is creative and keeps the lessons very interesting. He has also made me challenge myself which is what I was looking for so I would be able to grow quickly. I'm sure he has the ability to cater to anyones needs and ambitions. Definitely recommend." - August 17, 2010, by Andrew R.
 

"I took several lessons with Jason and found them to be extremely helpful in improving my guitar playing. He has a system wherein, you can easily learn to play by ear. I found myself being able to listen to a song and figure out what Key the song was in and all the chords in a song. I highly recommend him! You definitely won't be disappointed." - May 8, 2010, by Jonnas Ferma

"I found Jason on google and started taking lessons from him to learn to play the guitar. My lessons were short lived because I recently moved away from San Diego but he is a legit teacher. He is very professional first of all. I went to his apartment to have lessons and sometimes we would meet at the beach. He taught me some really basic things and as I got more familiar with the notes he would ask what I wanted to learn in particular, and if I didn't know he would always have sheet music to offer to teach me. He offered all kinds of skill and technique that I never even got the chance to explore before I moved, but it's obvious his skill and knowledge is broad. He is a patient teacher as well." - April 30, 2010, by Jenna Charlson

"I've been taking bass lessons since the summer of 2008. The main focus has been teaching me to play by ear and technique. I already read music, but that is hard to come by for bass. I enjoy my lessons and find Jason to be fun to learn with. He's even open to learning what we can teach him in turn. A great quality in a teacher.

I highly recommend him. His fees are reasonable and he works with you to make a schedule possible. :-)" - May 3, 2010, by J'nae Rae Spano

“My children really enjoyed their lessons with Jason. He taught them music theory, piano, and guitar and they learned to read music as well as identify notes by ear. To incorporate community service, Jason organized a Christmas concert at a nursing home and the kids would perform and socialize. I appreciate his introduction of music to my kids!” - January 18, 2011

"Jason is the best. My 11 year old son looks forward to his lessons each week. He is inspired to practice every day and always says he loves his lessons. Jason is easy going and very talented. He relates well to his students and is generous with his time. He has been teaching my son how to improvise on his electric guitar which my son thinks is a blast. We highly recommend him!" - November 22, 2010, by Kari Kajitani

"Jason is awesome! He has taught my 12 year old son guitar for almost a year now. He is very knowledgeable, patient and fun and my son loves his lessons. When he comes home from a lesson, he is always excited and happy. Jason keeps him interested and focused which is not easy for a 12 year old boy. I highly recommend Jason to anyone seeking guitar or any type of music lesson!" - May 7, 2010, by Susan Winchester
