Bryan just brings music and creativity out of you. He makes you feel at ease(coming from an insecure student) and works at the pace you want/need. I looked forward to his lessons at the end of a crazy day/week. We could get right into escaping into learning, playing and sometimes just talking about music, if that’s what needed to happen. He let me try extremely challenging songs when I was interested and had so much patience with me. Not to mention he is an amazing guitar player, singer and songwriter. Just to hear him play and sing, was so much fun. I took lessons every week with him for 2 yrs(9 months of which I was pregnant!) and he taught me so much about guitar, music history, theory, how to listen and how to feel the music. He really takes the mystery out of playing guitar. 2 kids later and 4 yrs since I have had a lesson, I am anxious to get back at it. Over those years, I have become a friend and fan and now appreciate his talents even more. He is amazing with kids too(and really funny) and can play and teach you anything! From that Zepplin riff you’ve been dying to learn to a Joni Mitchell finger picking melody. Even songs he doesn’t know, he will listen with you and dissect so he can teach you. I would highly recommend him for all ages. I can’t wait until my little ones are old enough to have lessons from Bryan. ;)
