Our Wall of Love
Here are what others say about us
Morgan Rodwell
My biggest frustration was not knowing how to play with other people, or how to get through an entire song.
Working with Bob changed that. He taught me music theory in a way that actually made sense and showed me how it applies when you’re playing with others—how you can’t all play the same thing, and how to figure out what fits alongside other players. That’s something I never would have figured out on my own.
Bob also pushed me to perform and to sing, which I never thought I’d do. Today, I’m playing with more confidence, singing in front of others, and learning new songs all the time.
Mark Strowbridge
Before working with Bob, I was overwhelmed and lost — I didn’t know where to start or how to move forward with learning. I’d been stuck in that cycle since I was a teenager. Bob’s calm, patient approach helped me slow down, focus on one step at a time, and actually enjoy the process. He never pressured me, even when I got frustrated — just met me where I was with a smile and support. A year later, I’m more confident, happier with my playing, and I actually look forward to practicing. Having someone who genuinely cares about your growth makes all the difference.
Paul Coldridge
When I met Bob, I’d been playing guitar casually for years but felt boxed in — stuck in the same pentatonic positions and basic blues. As a retired saxophonist, I was ready to take things further, but didn’t know how. Bob’s approach — learning through songs in different genres — pushed me out of my comfort zone. He introduced major pentatonic 'highways,' bass lines, fills, and theory in a way that felt natural and motivating. Over time, I started navigating the fretboard with confidence, mixing major and minor scales, and creating more musical, expressive lead lines. Two years later, I’ve got a whole new understanding of how to think, practice, and play — and I’m loving the journey. Bob’s the real deal: talented, generous, and truly invested in helping musicians grow, wherever they’re at.
