He's passionate about what he does and his teaching methods really focus on skill improvement and real learning, not to mention that he's an amazing guy and sets up an environment that makes it enjoyable and comfortable. Could not recommend him enough.

    positive review  Greg has a way of making you feel right at home. By far the best band recording experience I’ve ever had! Greg’s super knowledgeable in gear and how to find the tone you’re looking for. He’s a tremendous asset to any musician or band. I highly recommend.

  • positive review  Greg was the best guitar teacher that I could have asked for. I came to him to learn how to play guitar, but then as I became more serious about music, he was there to teach me about different recording and production techniques. He walked me through how a song goes from just an idea to a released piece of art. I especially liked that he’s always willing to tailor the lessons to the kind of music that you’re into and to what you’re looking to get out of his education. Without Greg, i wouldn’t have been able to get my current job in the music industry.

  • positive review  Greg is a master of his craft, both as a musician and a teacher. His ability to tailor a lesson to the student is unique. All skill levels and genres are accommodated. Clean technique and theory is at the forefront of his lessons, even if you are just learning your favorite riffs. Great and personable guy to boot, Greg will help you achieve all your guitar playing goals and you'll have fun doing it.

    positive review  You want the best? Look no further. Thorough, patient, knowledgeable about all styles with heaps of theory to back it up, pleasant to be around, understanding, and able to convey concepts in a clear & concise manner...I could go on but really, what else could you possibly ask for in a teacher?

    positive review  No question one of the best instructors in the area. I used to look forward to my weekly lessons with Greg while I was a student. He provides a very relaxed, patient, and professional atmosphere for learning. Whatever you're looking to gain from taking lessons, I can guarantee that Greg will be able to help you reach that goal.

  • positive review  I've known Greg for 20 years. Since he's opened his basement recording Studio I have worked with him on five separate occasions in 4 different bands. (Domestic Men, Motovune, Quato, Calhoun/Drivin South). Greg is a wizard at twisting knobs. He is masterfully efficient. His keen ear let's no detail pass unnoticed. He is constantly aware of "new" techniques and gear. He is a cornucopia of recording and producing ideas. Greg knows how to get the job done and do it in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Go see Greg for all your recording needs. You will not be disappointed.

    positive review  I’ve been Greg’s student for 10 years. Not only has he helped me learn how to play the guitar but also has above and beyond to improve my songwriting and music theory abilities. He’s an amazing teacher, patient and an all around great guy. I recommend him to anyone who wants to learn how to play guitar, learn theory and production.

    positive review  Greg does an amazing job of capturing sound. I recorded with him and he listened carefully, worked with my style of recording (I like to do as much live as possible), and then added tasteful instrumental parts to enhance the song. I’m so happy with how it turned out. Here it is: https://m.soundcloud.com/sarahholtschlag/capsized He’s also nice as hell. So yes, work with Greg. Also, he has a ton of sweet gear 🙂

    positive review  One of the easiest and most enjoyable recording experiences of my life. He has enough gear to make sure you get the exact tone your hunting for, and he will be an even larger nerd to make sure he helps you find it. And his overall knowledge of music makes the process roll so smooth. There were times we were struggling to get a tone or make it sound a certain way and also having trouble vocalizing what we wanted, and Greg could easily help us pinpoint it within minutes, finding the tone and adding the harmony that took our recording to that next level. I’d give him an 11/10 if these reviews could go up to 11 😉

  • positive review  I hadn't played guitar since high school, and even then I really didn't know what I was doing. In just a few weeks, Greg got me to be the best I had ever been and improving every lesson. His lessons were fun and practical, adapting lessons to music I liked to play. Highly recommended.
