“I started with Burt at 8 years old. Now, at 15, I’ve crushed school talent shows, rocked prize givings, even won a competition! I even played a solo gig at a bar! Burt helped me conquer every single roadblock I hit. He taught me theory, scales, even how to record my own music! Without him, I wouldn’t be shredding like I am today. I can play anything from ‘Ten Guitars’ to Yngwie Malmsteen! Thanks, Burt!”

Before I took class in Guitar Concepts, I attended guitar class for two years with another instructor but had little progress. Doing guitar lessons now with Burt and after only one term, I learned a lot more and became more interested to practice.
