I started guitar lessons as a beginner two years ago with Sean. I take a 30 minute lesson each…read moreweek from Sean. I will cut to the chase: I will grow old with Sean as my 'gee-tar' guru. I am very pleased with my progress during these last two years. I have had years of piano lessons and voice lessons from a number of excellent teachers. I rank Sean among the best of them despite being the youngest. I think his relative youth is actually a wonderful asset. His enthusiasm for guitar music and performance certainly shows. He always understands and relates the difficulties I face to his own experiences and quickly suggests proven ways to address those issues. I believe it is because he is not that far removed from his own learning experiences. It is always comforting to know that my issues are not unique, and just as importantly, I now have proven methods to overcome those difficulties. I also want to mention that Sean is extremely attentive during lessons and very quick to catch my errors or issues, and suggest corrective remedies. As a consequence, I have been able to make steady progress during the last two years. As a person, I found Sean to be level headed, well rounded and mature beyond his years. I always enjoy conversations with him about diverse subjects. It is an important consideration because some light diversion can restore balance when the learning gets too intense. His teaching style is mellow, sometimes funny, even though he is direct and exacting. So I always look forward to the learning experience instead of fearing it. After two years, I can now perform a number of my favorite songs to my own satisfaction. I am in the process of putting together my first performance portfolio, and will perform at an Open Mic with Sean in a week. In summary, if you are serious about learning or improving your guitar skills, you will do very well by engaging Sean as your teacher.

For years ago, at age, 70, I decided to try learning guitar. I tried out three different…read moreinstructors, mostly at guitar stores, and was disappointed. I joined the Sacramento Community Guitar Orchestra to see if that might be a way to learn. It was not for me, but I was impressed by the professionalism of the conductor, Sean O'Connor. I started lessons with Sean, and it's worked out great! He is an excellent teacher, patient and diligent, and is solidly grounded in music theory and performance.

So i took my Tele, Player II modified, in for a tune up... I bought it at Guitar Center and i got a…read moregreat price but it need some work... the frets stood out a bit, some of the frets were rough and needed polishing and the action was a little high... This is high end local shop and it was recommended by Fender as a place to get great service. I dropped it off early July and was told i would get it back around early August. No big deal to me I was in no rush. Its not a large location (located in a small strip mall). The shop is very nicely kept but all the guitars have string locks on them so there is no casual picking up guitars here. They have a great selection. I went by today to pick up my guitar and paid $90 for the tune-up and presumably a new set of strings, which I was told would be replaced. I got home and plugged in and in less that 5 minutes of playing my fingers were black from the strings! The strings had a weird feel to them I don't know what brand they use but it would not be a brand I would purchase. In previous setups at other shops the tech would always ask what type of strings i would like to have as replacements... this was not offered; my mistake for not specifying but considering it was a higher end i was guessing they would use better strings... Some of my frets are still rough so I don't know why they were skipped. The action itself did not appear to have been worked on at all... Overall, this was not a stellar experience here. My search for a tech goes on... word to the wise.... make a written list of what you want done if you have your guitar worked on here...

He has such a calm spirit and really has a natural way of teaching. He also has an excellent musical education and background. Our son keeps improving his skills and we owe that to his experience at Music Lab. He also took an interest in guitar and bass. He first started on guitar and then moved to bass lessons. His bass teacher is also incredible. I think he could play and teach just about any instrument. He is very calm and intentional with his lessons. He is another good fit for our son. One of our favorite things about Music Lab, beyond the lessons, are the semi-annual music showcases that they put on for their students and their guests. It's the perfect way to showcase the students' new skills and highlight their growth through the years. The owners, teachers, and staff are all so supportive. Music Lab also puts on great summer camps with fun and talented teachers. Last year, our son did intermediate drum camp, and this year, he tried a musical theater camp. I love that there are so many areas for him to expand his talents! I even got brave and took voice lessons. My teacher was very patient and talented. I learned so much and improved my skills, too. I can't say enough good things about our experience at Music Lab!
