Pete is very friendly and very accommodating. He makes lessons interesting and easy to understand. He is also very good with beginners who don’t have any basics.

I wanted to play guitar seriously again after a years-long gap. Pete listened to me about my goals and where I wanted to be as a guitarist. He is patient and respectful, but gives you helpful insights and a nudge when needed.One extra note: if you put in the time and practice, it all becomes worth it.
