    Andrew at 518 Guitar Lessons is an amazing teacher. He breaks down the music in a way so that a person that has never held a guitar can understand the basics. My son and I wouldn’t want another teacher other than Andrew.

    I began taking lessons with Andrew with some angst. Starting to learn to play the guitar at the age of 50, I didn't know if I would have the dexterity in my hands or the patience to learn something new. The way that Andrew tailors his lessons to each individual student, it makes learning both challenging and enjoyable. He adds a personal touch during our interactions and it makes my lesson something that I look forward to every week. I cannot recommend him enough.

    Andrew has been great at tailoring lessons to what specifically I want to play. He has also taught me about different techniques and scales to help support the songs I’m playing. Would definitely recommend learning from him.
