TESTIMONIAL
"I've been energized ever since I decided to give the New
England Guitar Workshop a try. They listen to my goals, help
me make realistic plans, and then are proactive about designing
lessons that are challenging, efficient and flexible - in
an atmosphere that's been supportive and enjoyable - customized
to the demands of an adult student like me, who has little
free time and has historically been a self-learner. Their
use of technology adds to the efficiency - I've even been
able to watch past lessons on my laptop and also to listen
to lessons on my mp3 player while traveling. They consistently
expand my musical knowledge - in theory, guitar playing, arranging
and songwriting - and I've been able to make practical use
what I've learned in my own songwriting and playing. It's
inspirational to spend time with a top notch pro guitarist
who is not only passionate about music, but who is also passionate
about sharing his knowledge of music with others - and in
a way that's geared to my learning style."

What does "intermediate" and "Advanced" mean?
.
Intermediate: you can play along with your favorite songs and CDs, you know the basic chords and have a good sense of time.
Advanced: you play in bands, have experience in the different styles of guitar playing, know about music theory but really want to apply what they know to their guitar playing, have a solid technique
