Guitar Lessons with Tony Savarino

d I would recommend anyone who wants to learn and succeed on the guitar to start taking lessons with Tony." - Timothy Riley

"When you take lessons with Tony, you're not just taught chords so you can play a Van Halen or a Nirvana riff. If you find any other knucklehead that can do that, I'll pay for your lessons. Actually, I won't, but you should take lessons with Tony anyway. He's that good." - Jessica Green

"Tony kicks the most ass of any guitar teacher out there. He is patient and encouraging, but in no time will have you playing things you didn't think you could play. He will give you a good music foundation while letting you learn the music you like the most. If you're serious about playing guitar, he's the man." - Ami E Albernaz

"I have been taking lessons from Tony for about 4 months now, and to say I have gone far beyond what I expected would be an understatement. He seems to have an innate feel for what the student is capable of, then reaches just beyond, to get the most from you...... I have not had one lesson where I did not come away feeling that I achieved something..." - Alan D. "I've studied under four different guitar teachers and Tony is the first one that's been able to clearly explain how the different parts - key signature, chord progressions, scale patterns, picking technique - all fit together. My first lesson was six weeks ago and the guys in my band have already noticed a huge difference." - Glen Goland

"I have been going to Tony for lessons since this past spring and my playing has improved tremendously. He has helped me work on my left hand technique, improve my picking, introduced me to new approaches to playing various types of licks, and has helped me with my approach to learning other artist'­s songs. On top of that, Tony is an excellent teacher, an amazing player, and extremely easy to get along and work with" -David Schwartz

"Tony is a wonderful teacher. I've only been taking lessons with him for three months, and had never touched a guitar before - now I'm starting to play my favorite songs! Not only do I learn the techniques and theory, but also how to develop an ear for the music, which is amazing, considering I had always thought I was tone-deaf. Tony keeps me motivated; he is patient, yet perceptively authoriative. Plus, his irresistible Sicilian wit makes the whole thing so much fun!" - Anneke Boese

"If you're looking for an instructor who will take you to the next level based on where you are musically, Tony is your man, he has a great talent for identifying and teaching you what you need to get where you want to go." - Dave Yanolis

"I can't imagine finding a better guitar teacher than Tony. First off, he has a tremendous understanding for the instrument and music in general and once you see him play you­ realize he can back his talk with a mean walk. Tony is patient and knows when to push you and when to back off. There is so much to learn about the guitar and it can seem overwhelming, especially for those that have never had a lesson, but Tony will customize your lessons to adequately suit your tastes and abilities. I walked out of my first lesson with a big smile and it hasn'­t gone away since!" - Josh L. "Tony is an incredibly versatile teacher, and quite perceptive of his student's requirements. I came to him for general improvement of my beginner-level guitar, and had no prior formal music training. Tony was able to quickly size up where I stood on the guitar, and what needed development. Tony's technique for his approach to lessons imparted essential guitar technique skills while also, sneakily, providing the beginning of music theory. As my skills improved and I became more familiar with my instrument, we moved more fully into music theory, as demonstrated through progressively more complicated guitar motifs. Tony packs an incredible amount of information into each lesson, and provides the dedicated student with a wealth of tools for a lifetime of guitaring." - Moon Mullins
