I had a gig that weekend, so he offered to let me rent a beautiful brand new Kala uke to use while mine was in the shop. The part came sooner than expected, and when I picked her up, he had piled the wood and fret boards, replaced the strings, tightened the tuners and polished them, too! She looks and sounds even better than when I got her 9 years ago! Brandon has great pride and love for what he does, and it shows! I will definitely be coming back for any of my instrument needs!

There were high frets, high string heights etc. I had Mike set up my Yamaha acoustic guitar and he did a fabulous job so I called him and told him I had a broken string and wanted it fixed as soon as possible.. Mike was able to get me in right away, and we went through my guitar and found that there were quite a few high frets and the action was very high too. Mike polished all the frets guitar, adjusted the neck relief set up the intonation and it was like getting a brand new fantastic axe. its now so much easier to play than it was just before i broke my string and brought it to Mike for a complete setup. Thanks Mike for making my guitar so much more easier and fun to play. David Hickey

I cannot say enough great things about Kenny & his colleagues. I personally get my lesson from John and he is super patient and truly wants his students to learn & make the most of their lesson. I have been to other guitar teachers outside of Kenny's and have only left the lesson frustrated and completely unmotivated bc learning guitar can be pretty daunting. Everytime I leave my lesson w/ John @ Kenny's, I am super stoked to go home and practice- it's no doubt the highlight of my week ! I appreciate him bc he will explain why something sounds the way it does, why it should be played a certain way, etc. Guitar makes so much more sense when you have a teacher who is passionate about the instrument and knows it inside & out. He taught me how to read notes- as opposed to guitar tab- and I am thankful for this bc ideally I would love to pick up the violin again and eventually learn to play other instruments. Anywho, if you have any doubts about taking lessons from John or going to Kenny's, just give it a try ! You will be happy you did. If you don't play an instrument, you are depriving yourself of one of the greatest experiences life has to offer. OK enough with my preaching... obviously I am so happy everyone from Guitar Center referred me to this place. FYI: you typically have a half-hour lesson per week & pre-pay for the month (4 lesson package.) Kenny also sells instruments, books, picks, etc @ reasonable prices. DO IT NOW !!! read more

Kenny's Music has made such an impact on my daughter's guitar playing, and an overall impact on her interest in music. She has been taking lessons with John for the last few months and has made great strides forward. She is excited to go to her lesson every week and can hardly wait to get home to show me the latest skill or song she's learned. I am so impressed with Kenny's because this is the first time my daughter has been so interested and eager to learn more. Thank you, John, for your love of music, your deep caring for your students and their progress week to week, and for your extremely well developed patience level. read more

He will give you honest, practical advice for lessons and is available for repairs via appointment. Did your guitar string snap? They have phosphorus bronze strings, too. Whether you need a soft gauge string or are need more responsiveness strings, you can buy them individually. They even sell entire guitars! Or the kids can take home a starter ukulele in glittery blue or pink. The floors got a major upgrade and match warmly with the new blue walls! The have a waiting room for the kids providing siblings with chapter books, coloring pages, or pop-its. The kids love this spot! Finally the practice rooms look lovely and held a major upgrade too. It's an encouraging environment for the students to walk into, with great posters on the wall of : Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and more.

I was waiting for their call after leaving a message and even visited the location to see if i can talk to a human being. Finally i got a voicemail that states the violin teacher is out of town so e-mail them to schedule a class. So i wrote a e-mail and waited and waited. And then after a while i got response e-mail that my e-mail got forwarded to the violin teacher. I think i bought groupon on january and i think i got the last e-mail about a month ago. Me and my son got sick of waiting and moving on to a preschool so i don't even know when or how i am going to schedule for the first lesson. I think making an appointment with the president obama might be easier. I think i should just contact groupon for a refund.

I'm 56 years old and have only been playing for three years, but I love it! I'm excited to participate in Oc Music Shop workshops where people can come together and jam. There are even older guys like me who can all get together and play. So, please call today and schedule your first lesson. Maybe I'll see you there one day. One love to Oc Music Shop!

Micah Grant Rock Guitar Lessons of South Orange County

(18 reviews)

Micah exceeded my expectations…read more I've literally gone through four different guitar teachers in the last 6 months. They were GREAT PRO players but they were not great instructors. They threw stuff at me at random assuming that I knew this or that. No real prepared method and too random in their approach to teaching. Micah offers DIRECTION and FEEDBACK and FOCUS. It makes me want to practice and prove that I can do it for him and for myself. That's what a good teacher does! Also individualizing and prepping my lessons for my specific skill level and building me up brick by brick makes me focus on learning the task at hand and then encourages me to want to learn more. By slowly building my fundamentals I feel like I am understanding the fretboard better and i feel more prepared and confident to play and improvise with other musicians. I highly recommend Micha no matter what the level of the player.

If you're hunting for a guitar teacher who's not only a genius with six strings but also knows the…read moreins and outs of music theory like the back of his hand, this guy is it. He's basically the Yoda of guitars--except taller, and he doesn't speak in riddles (well, not too often). His passion for music is so contagious, you'll wonder why you didn't start playing years ago, and his patience? Seriously, I think he could probably teach a cat to play a chord if he wanted to. Every lesson is like a deep dive into the world of music, but with a guide who makes even the trickiest stuff feel fun and totally doable. Honestly, if you want to shred like a pro, and laugh along the way, this is the teacher for you.
