Alex is definitely a cool teacher! He explains things easier than in a classical music school, even though I am an English beginner, I quickly grasp the knowledge. We had a few lessons, and we are already playing songs by my favorite artists, which undoubtedly motivates me to continue learning. Alex also knows the European system of notes, which is more familiar to me, which makes my learning easier. And in the guide on his website, which costs 10 dollars, there is motivating information about the philosophy of life, that will save you several years of life, I recommend reading it.

Alex is an excellent guitar teacher and musician! As a beginner, he has taken the time to really help me understand my instrument and music theory. He has a great deal of expertise and explains concepts and techniques perfectly for a novice like myself. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Alex has been an incredible guitar teacher for my 13-year-old. His engaging, personalized approach keeps my son motivated and excited about learning. We started with in-person lessons, but after moving to NJ, we transitioned to remote lessons because we couldn’t find anyone as good as Alex. He makes each lesson fun, and his patience and constructive feedback have helped my son build confidence and improve rapidly. I highly recommend Alex to any guitarist, young or old, looking to develop their skills. Plus, Alex is just a cool, down-to-earth, and laid-back person

I spent several months learning with Alex as a beginner. He is much more than a guitar teacher - he has a successful musical career, vast knowledge in his genre and genuine interest in anything about human nature and art. He will keep your motivation high and, if you are beyond beginner level, will expose you to many professional secrets and technology. Also I was greatly impressed how meticulosly he tracks student's progress and how well the student resources are organized - was a nice surprise and another motivational tool. I highly recommend Alex lessons to learners of all levels though advanced students may gain even more in terms how the industry works from his expertise.

I had a very pleasant experience with Alex. He is very informative, patient and encouraging. Alex is also very attentive to any specific skill or Genre that you're interested in learning. Alex is very knowledgeable in many aspects of music in general and the history behind them. He has a very easy way to teach guitar to children and adults alike no matter what level of experience they have. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking to learn or even to enhance their guitar skills. All the best and good luck!
