I got so lucky finding Bill. In addition to being a phenomenal player, he's a gifted teacher. These are two entirely different skill sets. Like I said, I got lucky. I'm not new to music, but I've grown more in the past month than I have in a year, all thanks to Bill.
Bill is one of the best guitar instructors I’ve experienced. He is highly skilled, obviously professionally trained, listens beautifully and plays beautifully. Bill is confident, patient and skillful in showing you the exact way to create a technique that supports the sound you’ve been looking for in your playing, and shows commitment in helping you to become a more fluid player. And he is not only professional, but also pleasant and supportive of your process. During the sessions he takes you through steps and builds those steps quite nicely throughout the sessions. You can’t go wrong with Bill, he has the skill, experience and patience to take you to whatever level of playing that interests you. Gwen Hanner, Tampa Florida
Excellent teacher!! Very patient, very knowledgeable. I really enjoy my lessons with him, and would highly recommend him.
