Do not let their age fool you. They are very talented and sounded like they have been playing forever. It was a very relaxing and soothing experience.

They have a very versatile song list and keep the music flowing without wasting time between songs. The real horn section and smooth vocal harmonies were outstanding. That alone makes them stand out. I'll definitely be seeing them again.

Fantastic Teacher! Highly recommended! I was lucky enough to discover Barry Lusted Guitar Studio…read moreabout a year ago. His expertise and passion for teaching make learning the guitar a joy. I have taken guitar from a lot of teachers in my life, and Barry is gifted at teaching beginners and advanced players alike.

Several years ago, I took guitar lessons from Barry Lusted. I first saw him in a restaurant on…read moreSherwood Forest and really liked that classical sound. He truly seemed gifted. I remember the first lesson like it was yesterday. I had been trying to learn all the notes before I went to him so he would be impressed. The first thing he said was you need to play with your fingernails, not finger tips. I thought he was kidding. The nail is so narrow it seemed impossible at first but the sound was so much better. With practice, it became second nature. The sound became full and colorful. I learned a lot from Mr. Lusted but the problem came when I asked him to quit playing along with me. He refused. It was difficult for me to focus on what I was playing. I grew up with a little ADD and trying to focus on what I was doing while he was playing the same song became nearly impossible. Imagine playing the piano, or any other instrument with your teacher always playing the same song. I know that's the way he learned and I'm sure other people are fine with it, but I wasn't. Guitar lessons should be enjoyable and they just weren't anymore, at least not with someone who insisted on playing with you on every song. As a footnote, I did find another instructor (who just listened and critiqued) and I continued learning. Today I still play for charities, weddings, even a few times for a master class, but mostly I only play for myself . Love that classical guitar sound
