"Hello Future guitarists. I first picked up the guitar a year ago with the hopes of an attempt to teach myself the basics through CD's and how-to guides and at times felt a little progress, but with time knew I needed a mentor, so I wrote out a list of characteristics I felt a qualified teacher should posses, to say the least my list was long and demanding. I'm in the military and details are my business.
Through trail and error, I found Tim Quinn's website, and in that were my answers and more. After a little talk we met and I had my first lesson and in that I finally found the element I needed…"DIRECTION"…but not just any direction. My lessons are based on what I want and what he knows I need and how to get there. He mixes just enough lesson, playing and inspiration, through well developed masterfully planned, rehearsed and formulated steps to teach, derived from a lifetime of real gig experiences.
When I leave after a lesson I have no problem with the money I have invested in the greatest gift a person can give them selves; "the gift of music". At first I was a little concerned about money, but I do understand "you get what you pay for". Tim Quinn is generous with more than his experience and attention to detail, but also with his time; he tends to get lost in your needs and goes long on lessons…he doesn't just rush you out the door. From a philosophical stand point his student are his opus."
