I am a complete novice with the guitar and found Francesco through an ad on the internet. I decided to start lessons with him after reading some very positive reviews and am very glad that I did, he is a great teacher! In addition to being a really nice guy he has shown incredible competence with the music and great patience for the fact that I have no idea what I am doing. He has struck an excellent balance between musical theory and simply learning finger placement and I’ve found that to be extremely helpful. I would highly recommend Francesco for anyone looking to learn the guitar!
