Best Guitar Teachers - who travel to you
Hi there,
In the bay area, there are tons of guitar teachers to choose from...but I'd like to hear a current recommendation from a fellow parent....
I'm looking for my child and for myself.
Thanks!

Greg Pratt is a wizard -- a truly excellent player, patient, and kind. His wheelhouse is big -- country, ragtime, Swing, folkie, or jazz. He mostly plays acoustic, but can get around like a pro on an electric jazz guitar.
He taught me to play long ago, and I now can hold my own with a roomful of jamming pros!
He also is a good mandolin player, and can even do some old style boogie woogie on the piano. His ear is great, and even if he doesn't know a song you want to learn, he'll figure it out, turn right around, and teach it to you.

Hi,
I recommend Ryan Schaffer. He travels to my home in Montclair, which is perfect for my schedule, since I have a 3 year old. He's young (mid-twenties), but has training in guitar (I believe guitar performance was the focus of his music education at the Univ. of Oregon). What I appreciate most is that he has a very gentle and patient way about him.
