I began taking lessons with Brian when I as around 13, and now i’m 17 and still playing! Brian is an amazing & patient teacher who always finds a way to help you improve your sound. I’ve learned so much about music from him that I probably wouldn’t have found out anywhere else. He helps me feel more passionate about what I do, and I enjoy taking a break from life’s other stresses to learn some music from him. Thank you Brian!! 

I took up the guitar at age 65, 9 months ago. I’ve gotten much further along in my playing than I hoped, due in large part to finding Brian as a teacher. Brian’s teaching approach is both very effectively structured and flexible at the same time. The classes are always interesting and relevant to the music I like. Brian’s practice tips and exercises are really effective in helping me maximize the results of the practice time I put in.

I’d always had a passion for music, but I never knew how to express it or where to place it. Brian helped me find that outlet and how to do it well. I never feel overwhelmed with any of the material. It never fails to offer me a therapeutic and enriching activity to do for the week and then some. As you learn, he always makes sure that you understand, letting you play as slow as needed when you practice. Just as much, he’ll challenge you, knowing that you can achieve new heights.

Brian is a not only an extremely talented musician but also an outstanding teacher committed to helping his students reach their musical goals. He has a unique and effective teaching style where he helps guide his students into simplifying what at first seems as a  complex arrangement into something that can be mastered by learning new techniques and applying consistent practice.

I contacted Brian over two years ago and asked him if he could help me recover my enthusiasm and skill set to play the guitar. I had played as a younger guy but had not played in over thirty years more than one or two fragments of songs.

He has been the best teacher and music Maestro I could have hoped to meet. I now have roughly fifteen songs that I chose to learn that I loved as well as learned the keys to success and some theory along the way.

I really like my lessons. Brian is a good teacher and I have fun in every class. We have learned Nirvana, Pink Floyd, and theme songs like Speed Racer. I like that Brian transcribes songs I want to learn. We work a lot on technique finger exercises and practice actual songs.

I really really love the lessons. Brian is a very thorough, very patient teacher. I feel that some other guitar instructors might try to give me the easy way out, but Brian continues to challenge me and gives me the proper way – the way that is going to benefit me in the long run.

Quite challenging to start the guitar as an adult, especially since I never learned to read music. With Brian everything seems possible. He is such a great guitar player! And I love the way he tailors our lessons with a mix of theory, technique and practice. We work on those great rock songs that I never thought I could try so quickly. Although I still have along way to go, Brian makes learning fun, satisfying and hopeful from the start.

I’ve played music since I was a child but lost touch with it over the years since college, Brian at Gables Guitar has helped me keep music a part of my life and has encouraged me to keep experimenting with new avenues and instruments to express myself. I highly recommend Gable’s guitar to anyone trying to learn music for the first time or is just trying to find new ways to push themselves musically!

Brian teaches with patience, understanding and a genuine excitement to see his students improve. His talent and passion for music inspires me to become a better musician. No matter where you are in your musical journey, Brian can help you get to your final destination while having a lot of fun getting there! 

I began taking lessons with Brian over a year ago and it’s been one of the most beneficial decisions I have made in a long time. Not only have I progressed past where I thought I would be in the guitar, but I found a new friend in the process. Brian has completely transformed my taste in music by giving me great recommendations every week on new bands and performers to listen to.

Brian is very patient trying to find the right songs and the right practice schedule to meet my schedule. I work and it’s hard to find time during the week. It’s nice to have someone who keeps me on track and who is very patient with my hectic schedule other than guitar.

Brian is a pretty cool guy. He makes the classes fun and interesting. I didn’t know how to play anything when I started. I still have a lot to learn but I’m getting there.

What I like about the classes is that I learn a lot about songs I like. I definitely see progress.

I have been taking lessons from Brian for about a year now and I’m really happy with my progress. And it’s not because I have musical skills. It’s because Brian is a great teacher. I really enjoy my time and experience with Gables Guitar. I highly recommend that anybody interested in learning how to play the guitar, come in and see Brian.
