“Since I started taking lessons with Mike, there has not only been a marked improvement in my technique, but also a raised awareness of what I’m doing on the guitar. Aspects of my playing that I never gave a second thought to (ex: how I hold my pick) have become focal points in my practice sessions. As a result, my playing is often cleaner and more refined than it once was. Not only did he correct my technique in this regard, he was able to explain the reasoning behind it. He expects a lot from us, but that’s because he is the real deal, and genuinely wants his students to improve.“
