“I began studying guitar with Bob three and a half years ago. His step-by-step lessons had me reading music and playing songs within a matter of weeks! I have played acoustic and electric, blues, rock, folk, finger picking, and even slide guitar. Bob makes me feel I can learn anything. Other people ask me why I travel an hour each way on buses when guitar teachers are all over the city – I say, because Bob is the best.”
