I learned [to] read music, but Geoff took the time to translate that into figuring out chord patterns with me, and has been an invaluable source of knowledge about gear over the years. I’d be lost at earplaying if it wasn’t for learning from Geoff.
Courtney RobertsonGreat! After I’d played guitar for years and years, my wife gave me a gift of guitar lessons with Geoff. It was great! He can teach anything. I learned lots. He was also great at teaching my sons as they just started out (on guitar, bass and violin).
Now I count him as a friend and brother!
I was a novice. I couldn’t even read music. Geoff had patience with me, and in 6 months time I could read and play many songs on the mandolin. I highly recommend taking lessons from Geoff.
