One of my students Jaime recently moved back to Spain to get married. I'd like to wish him and his new wife the best of luck!
"Hi Jay!:
"Last Saturday was my wedding!!
"It was nice and funny, but one of the best parts was the concert...
"His knowledge and skill is as infinite as his patience with beginners, if he can teach me, he can teach any man, woman or adolescent, and he definietly makes it fun...."

""I've studied guitar for years, and in six months Jay got me to places I couldn't get to in sixteen years!!!""
Rather than only memorizing the basics, he highly encouraged me to be as creative as possible in finding my own style, and writing my own original music from the very beginning"
"Seriously Awesome Guitar Teacher!""I took lessons from Jay for about 11 months (only stopped because career moved me to Boston) and learned more than I thought possible given my age / complete lack of dexterity.
I have taken guitar on two other occasions in my life, and Jay is by far the only teacher who has helped me progress, and who has kept me motivated enough to continue...
"Jay taught me everything I know on the guitar. I started from absolute beginner and he took me to the level where I am now. He is a real musician who understands what he is doing on the guitar and why..."

"Best Guitar Teacher I've Ever Had!""He teaches all the little tricks professional guitarists know, but don't teach in books. These are the things that separate rock stars from amateurs. I knew nothing about playing guitar when I met Jay in December, and now I'm about three months away from starting my own band."
"Awesome guitar teacher.... Jay is a patient teacher that makes learning guitar fun. A great choice no matter your skill level."
