I always get greeted at the Colorado Blvd. location and feel like a valued customer with someone always available for those pesky guitar and equipment questions there. Here, I wished they banned that damn front room where everyone seems to congregate at and get people on the floor engaging and making sales without pretension. If this was my business, everyone that walked into that store was a potential buyer adding to the bottom line even if it was a set of guitar picks! Sometimes you want to go to a brick and mortar store, bypassing all the online stuff and want to engage, learn and walk away that day with what you wanted. That is very important! It takes so many advertising dollars to get the customers in the door! Happy New Year Guitar Center!

Overall, this Guitar Center location is ok. This is coming from a drummer's perspective so keep…read morethat in mind. The drum room has a decent selection of equipment, sets, cymbals and stuff but it does feel a bit disorganized and doesn't have an isolated room for trying out an acoustic set which is unfortunate. The employees there also all seem disinterested in helping out/answering questions. They were all either on their phones, talking amongst each other, or just didn't seem like they wanted to be there.

I started studying with John in Oakland just before he moved to Denver. He made such an impression…read moreon me in those first few lessons that we decided to continue instruction via Skype after his move. That proved to be an excellent choice. John is a gifted teacher who takes his own playing very seriously. This means that he is constantly growing as a musician and sharing those lessons with his students in a way the they can relate to. He meets the student where they are, but does not give in to the temptation to cater exclusively to their wants; John preaches balance in playing and practicing and will not hesitate to prescribe work in weak areas. Every time I see John in person, he has grown as both a player and a teacher. He is at the forefront of 'ukulele education on the national and international stage. If you are interested in deepening your understanding of the instrument, you should run - not walk - to Ukulele Inspired Studios.

This review is long overdue! I took ukulele lessons with John when he was based in Oakland, from…read more2015-16. I was brand new to the uke, and needed to start with the basics. There were many things I loved about my lessons with John. First off, his positive energy and enthusiasm made our lessons such a pleasure. Something else that made John's approach totally unique was that his lesson content is very student-driven; rather than assigning me songs to practice, he would ask me what I wanted to learn. I would show him songs I was interested in, and he would help me figure out how to play them. In the weeks when life was busy and I didn't have a song in mind, he would make suggestions that I could choose from. He also challenged me by incorporating musical theory into our lessons, and took into account my prior knowledge from playing piano and singing. Another unique aspect of John's teaching is that he would video record new finger work or strum patterns, and share the videos with me. This way when I was practicing at home and didn't remember how to play something, I could always rewatch the videos. If you're at all considering taking ukulele lessons, I highly recommend that you work with John!

Dwayne is a phenomenal guitar instructor. He is patient, dedicated, and very skilled. Above all, he…read moreis a genuinely kind-hearted human being. Dwayne has the experience and unique ability to assess your current skill level and instruct in an efficient and effective manner. His commitment and instruction is impeccable - he knows how to get you to that next level.. I have even learned how to practice in a useful way to improve my techniques and playing abilities. But again, what really stands out about Dwayne is his compassion and empathy. He is not just a great guitar instructor, but a great human being. He once continued our lesson for an hour and half to ensure I understood the part I was learning. After teaching for dozens of years... to have that kind of patience and dedication is a godsend. If you are having any thoughts about pursuing guitar- make Dwayne your guy. You won't regret it!

He understands your experience and knows how to select songs that are both fun and challenging. If you are interested in learning to play lead guitar (electric and acoustic) Dwayne will teach you at a pace that suits you and at an affordable price.
