Guitar Confidence

Anthony Moralia is giving me and my 4 year old son guitar lessons. Anthony is very patient and good with my son, and has the ability to put him at ease. I would recommend Anthony.

I have been taking banjo lessons with Rex for about a year, and everything has been great. He is the only mobile banjo teacher i could find in the bay area, knows his stuff, and well worth the price. Thanks for everything Rex!!!

I’ve been taking lessons with Rex for about a year now. I love that he comes to me — Super-​convenient! When I first started with Rex I knew a few chords and strums, and that was about it. In just a short period of time, I can actually read music, and I’m actually enjoying it! I’m actually playing music, and not just fumbling around anymore. As the name says, I’ve gained tremendous confidence as a guitarist. Rex makes learning fun, and he’s helping me build a solid musical foundation. Rex has a great musical ear, and extensive music background. No matter what your level of guitar player you are, Rex can help take you to the next level. If you want to improve your confidence as a guitarist, I highly recommend Rex.

I had been struggling to play guitar since a long time and enrolled myself to an online guitar course (JustinGuitar). Justin is a great guy and I was doing okay but I never realized I was learning music without UNDERSTANDING music.
Let me give you an example, you can memorize chords formation but if you don’t understand for instance, why an «A» chord is called an A chord or why in some chords you play all 6 strings and in some you don’t.
All these questions were answered by Rex. Now memorizing chords formation has become so easy and it comes naturally. He is a great teacher, very patient and super professional. I started with a free lesson and in the very first class he introduced me to the music theory. He handed over some books for reference and in each class provides a worksheet to practice at home. To make the class entertaining he teaches a new song every class.
You will start playing songs from your very second class and will start reading music sheets from your third class.

I am very happy to have Rex as my guitar teacher and I highly recommend him, if you are serious in learning and understanding music.

I have been taking lessons since February 2014. Rex travels to your home for lessons, which is convenient. He is flexible with your schedule, and can adapt his teaching style to your musical needs. Rex has extensive professional experience playing guitar, but prior music experience is not needed. The first lesson is free, so if it doesn’t work out, you don’t really lose anything. If you’re looking into learning guitar or can play but want to improve your chops, give him a try!

I wanted to improve my knowledge of guitar out of basic open chords, barre chords and pentatonic scales. I wanted to make my guitar playing interesting and exciting. My friend Devin, who had taught me how to play guitar, took lessons with Rex and recommended him to me. I checked out his website
where I led myself to a video of Rex playing a solo on a song called «For the Lord is my Tower». I immediately thought «I need to schedule lessons with this guy right away!». Luckily for me scheduling a FREE trial lesson was as easy as picking a time and date on which I was available. I recieved a text from Rex 20 minutes later saying that he confirmed the lesson. After calling Rex to see what kind of guy he was, I found that he was very relaxed, easy going, funny and enthusiastic about helping me learn guitar through his methods.
My first free lesson from Rex was a steal. Rex’s knowledge of Music theory, guitar chords and scales had me jotting notes like crazy. His Guitar confidence guitar course is a very structured program which has increased my learning curve on guitar. The best part about Rex is that I didn’t have to travel anywhere. Rex goes to your home to teach you.
After Studying with rex for about 3 months. I am able to sight read on guitar, something I would’ve never imagined doing. I’ve gone through three levels of guitar method books and currently working on a Berklee level Classical Guitar Picking book. My knowledge of chords have improved. I have to prepare songs on a weekly basis for each sunday’s church service. Through studying with Rex I can create smooth voice leading with chords without having to spend hours memorizing tabs. My soloing ability has also branched out of the pentatonic shapes to the point where I can go anywhere on the guitar neck.
Rex has a great ear and can pinpoint where my trouble spots and mistakes are when I play. I dont have to worry about playing fast or being perfect, as long as I can demonstrate a deep familiarity with the material. Rex is patient and understands I learn certain material better than others.
The best part about Rex’s guitar course is that the knowledge you gain can be applied to any music genre out there.
On top of his guitar program, Rex is also a composer and arranger and will give you charts to read and perform. Me and a fellow piano player have had great jams with Rex’s arrangements.
As my friend Devin told me «He’s the Best».

I’ve been taking from Rex for about a year. It wasn’t that I didn’t know how to play — I did, but I didn’t know how to read, and my technique was a bit careless. The discipline of a lesson every two weeks has made a huge difference to me, and now my reading is coming along. I did at one time play in bands, and I think now I’d find it much easier to go back into that setting and do a good job! Rex is a fine teacher, and I have learned a lot from him.

Rex is an amazing teacher. I’ve not touched guitar in 20 years and after couple of months of lessons I can play it again! I went in with very specific ideas of what I wanted to learn, and Rex listened and suggested the program which started from the basics, but skipped parts that I did not need. He is easy-​going and a lot of fun. Taking lessons in comfort of my own home is a big plus for me as well. I highly recommend Rex.

I have been wanting to take guitar lessons for quite a while but was hesitant and unsure if I’d be able to learn at my age (40+). After taking my first lesson with Rex I was convinced that he’s the right tutor. He’s patient, focuses on the fundamentals, nips the bad habits in the bud, and keeps it all fun with his great sense of humor.
I highly recommend him — go ahead give him a try. His first lesson is free, so there is nothing to lose!

I am now 28 months as a student of Guitar Confidence. I see Rex every two weeks. My level of guitar play has jumped since my last review. I endorse everything that I said in the last review, and now can play almost any song, either with strumming or finger-​picking. Truly amazing guitar teacher.

Rex is a great guitar teacher! I am fortunate to have found him! I didn’t knew anything about Guitar until my wife surprised me with one on my last birthday. We Unilocaled and found Rex! He had great recommendations and can also comes to your house! I decided to try as he was generous to offer the first class free.
The first class went great and I have been learning from him for about six months now. He is very professional and an expert player. I like his approach for beginners and books he suggests me to follow.
I am a software architect by profession; and my work can become pretty hectic at times. Rex gives the comfort I need when I am slow and paces the instructions accordingly, which is really helpful unlike a class with 10 students and you have to catch-​up whatever be the case. I am taking an early morning class as it works perfectly with my daughter sleeping and Rex is able to accommodate a schedule for me. He is typically at home about 10 to 15 minutes before the class! We do finger stretches and then the class begins.
Rex is very encouraging and I would definitely recommend him!

Rex offers an intuitive, easy going and informative method of teaching that delves into nearly every aspect of guitar while maintaining a healthy learning environment right in your own home. I used to be taught by a teacher at a local music store. I enjoyed it very much, but unfortunately, one day, my teacher up and left the studio without so much as a word to me, which can be a problem with most conventional music stores. It was a very frustrating experience for a young guitarist. So, I decided to search for new lessons after playing off and on for a year after that. Upon seeing the numerous Unilocal reviews for Rex, I decided that an at-​home experience might be the best shot for getting back into music. Rex came by with his first free lesson, and it was inspiring for me! It really put the drive back into me to better myself. Even being a player for 8+ years, I have progressed much more than I would have imagined from Rex’s method.

I have been taking lessons from Rex Bell for a little over a year and have been very happy with the progress I have made. I had a little background (self-​taught in college) when I started but no formal training. I wanted to concentrate on guitar basics, which Rex has done, while at the same time introducing some simple arrangements to keep it interesting. He brings a very positive attitude to our lessons and works hard to keep me motivated as I am easily frustrated. Rex has an extensive background in the music industry and has been able to effectively speak to any questions I have brought up. I highly recommend him as a teacher.
An added bonus is that Rex comes directly to your home for the lessons.

Rex is the best! I noodled around on the guitar for years but really never made it very far. I’ve been taking lessons from him for almost a year now and I’m really pleased with the progress I’ve been making since then. In addition to working with standard student materials, Rex also provides custom arrangements that are both challenging and fun to play. Rex is easy to get along with and I always look forward to our sessions together. Oh, and on top of everything else, he also comes to your house — how cool is that for convenience?

Thanks to an amazing wife of mine. She set up for both my son (age 12) and I to take guitar lessons. Was a complete surprise. Been taking lessons with Rex for almost three months. Amazing to see the progress we have made in just a short time! Rex has a great demeanor and patience. He tailors the lesson plan to ensure to meet and exceed what the students goals are. A true professional. He is the only professional who comes to your door. This is very convenient since our family has a demanding schedule.

I have been taking guitar lessons at home from Rex from last 3 months. I had noticeable and remarkable improvement during this period. With an instrument such as guitar such improvement is pretty difficult to achieve. While Rex has been quite patient with me, his method of teaching ensures consistent growth.
Rex is also pretty nice to have conversation with and he manages to maintain relaxed atmosphere during class.

Rex is very nice, friendly and an encouraging teacher. He is vey positive instructor and is inspiring me to finally fulfill my dreams of getting professional guitar training. it is a nice that he comes to uour home whichnsaves me a lot of time. I would highly recommend him.

I’ve been taking lessons from Rex for about 18 months. It’s been an excellent experience working with him. He’s kind, and genuinely cares about me, both as a person and with what in learning from him.
If you’re looking for guitar lessons from a truly talented musician and music teacher, I recommend Rex without any reservations whatsoever.

My wife asked for guitar lessons for Christmas and I was lucky enough to find Rex. There are two things that particularly jump out that prompted me to write this review: Rex comes to your house and doesn’t charge more to include my son in with the lessons.
If you’ve seen the videos on his website, Rex is obviously a gifted musician. In addition to that, though, he is personable and informative. And he was nice enough to meet me at a Starbucks so I could make plans to surprise my wife. (In the small world file, Rex had played with Zydeco Flames, a band my wife and I saw the night we were engaged.)

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Rex for only a month, and started as a complete beginner on this instrument. I’m a big music lover though, and play the piano so I’ve spent years working with a number of music teachers. From that experience, I’d have to say that Rex is the best I’ve had.
Rex is certainly an incredible musician, but most instructors can make that claim. What really sets him apart is that he has the rare gift of knowing how to teach — how to convey the information from his brain to the student’s fingers. He somehow knows how to cut through the challenges and complexity, and to convey just what’s needed to rapidly progress.
I’m just starting, but am far ahead of where I expected to be at this point, and working with Rex makes me want to practice and improve. I’d recommend him with the highest possible enthusiasm.
