Alex Raykin’s Guitar Lessons

Alex Raykin is an extremely talented, creative, brilliant guitarist, teacher, and motivator. He’s also a very down to earth, compassionate, humorous, and charismatic personality. I highly recommend him,

I had been playing for about 6 years before i took lessons from alex. I was at a wall in my playing and I really needed a better foundation. alex not only taught me music theory/​voice leading/​lead sheets/​inside playing but a variety of advanced metal techniques such as sweeping, tapping and string skipping. he taught me the modes and how to utilize the whole neck and most importantly he taught me how to really develop my ear and make me a self sufficient musician. we covered a variety of styles including rock, blues, jazz and funk. he helps bridge the gap between technical virtuosity and choosing the necessary notes and really making art out of your playing. his prices are decent and he is not just a teacher but a friend. he really committed himself to making sure i had a strong understanding of everything he taught me.
