“Tim has helped me take my guitar playing to a new level.  His passion for teaching makes learning a pleasure and I am always psyched to work on the new concepts he has imparted to me in our lessons.  Tim is the best teacher I have ever had for the guitar!”

Happy Customers

Good Learning

and Good Listening.

“This is a total delight. I watched it and then had my wife come and watch it with me. We sat here staring, bewitched and totally absorbed, like two kids who had just seen their first fireflies in the early evening dark of a forest’s edge. I am a professional player, a long-time fan and big-time admirer of Tim’s guitar playing but his singing is great, too. Here, he is his usual relaxed, soothing, brilliant and inspiring self. I wish I could give it ten thumbs ups. One can never quite get the job done and words are inadequate. If you are listening, Tim, we love you and we love what you do. You enrich our lives.”

“Amazing artist. I have all the recordings and collections. Helps my playing just listening. Looking forward to what’s coming.”
