Trevor is a game changer. Highly recommend! First-rate teacher, great personality, sense of humor, patience, and most importantly an ability to break down the complex into the simple. He has truly elevated my playing and I couldn't be happier with my continuing progress.

I’ve been taking remote guitar lessons with Trevor for almost two years and have had a fantastic experience. Trevor is such a thoughtful, caring, patient, and engaged teacher. I've plateaued at playing guitar for decades and our lessons have translated into me seeing notable progress in writing guitar parts for the first time, which was one of my biggest goals.

I've been working with Trevor for 4 years and found him to be very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. I have learned drop 2 jazz chords over the entire neck of the guitar and a lot of music theory. Over the years he has helped me apply these skills to play over 40 jazz standards.
