I took my Gibson Les Paul in for a new bone nut replacement. Messaged him the next day requesting…read moreto go with his suggestion of going with TUSQ XL. He said no problem and we agreed on it. Two weeks later when expected to picked up he says he doesnt have the nut and still needs to order it. Sure, I wait another week. Picked up my guitar to see very poor workmanship. The nut slot heights are not only not cut to my specifications that I requested. G string was cut too way too low compared to rest. But also the new nut has gaps all over the place and does not sit full bearing within the slot. It's a combination of maybe not cleaning out any existing glue or not filing the seat level. He said I was giving him anxiety by my expectations of good workmanship. In response I said im going to call this work order a loss, im swallowing the loss of ~$170 and i'll take my business elsewhere. It is not right if he is accepting this nut as the best he has to offer as workmanship and not fixing what is to be expected. Photos attached.

I have been taking lessons with Chris since November 2015. I started having no clue how to read…read moresheet music and had previously short tempered teachers. However, when I saw Chris' video and the offer for a free first lesson I decided to go. Chris was patient, kind, and had a great attitude toward teaching. I quickly learned that he had taught people of all ages ranging from 3 to 85 years of age and that each learner had different styles in which they learned and expressed themselves musically. Chris showed me techniques to quickly learn the material and I took both individual and group lessons. The individual lessons were your typical one-on-one, but not with teaching scales. He just started off having me jump into the material. This paired with the group classes bolstered me forward. The group classes consist on average of 4 students at a time. Chris would open each session with an inspiring tidbit about how to enjoy the practicing of, playing, and appreciation of music. Then each student would be at their own keyboard and play their piece with headphones on. For most of the class he would go around to each student, plug into their keyboard and then give feedback on how to improve playing the piece. He would give techniques to slow down, focus on one area, etc. Then at the end of the class he would encourage each of us to play our piece, even if it was not perfected yet. he did this because he would instill the idea that music is fun, each performance is unique, and music should be shared and enjoyed with others. This constant playing allowed me to get over any anxieties I had about playing in front of others. I had the opportunity to play at a community retirement center 3 times over this course in a recital that just made me even more amped up about music. I can now play full sheet music by composers such as Bach and use the pedal. I couldnt have done it without Chris and I hope that others will find this review helpful and encourage them to follow their dreams of learning piano :)

She is creative and very patient with a young one. I like that my daughter learn to play different rhythms of twinkle, twinkle, little star using her ears, instead of jumping into reading notes.

Suzuki method works for my daughter and I'm glad there is a school that teaches this method in Sacramento.
