Andrew has been my bass and guitar instructor for almost one year and a half. One of the many reasons I give Andrew a perfect 5 stars is his ability to teach. His teaching methodology has helped me to become a better guitarist and bassist. He will quickly pick up on the skills you will need to become the musician you want to be. He is very knowledgeable about music theory which has helped me in acquiring more skills. I recommend Andrew as your instructor, he is amazing.
