NYC Guitar Studio

it’s very funny reading the other reviews, because i’ve had a very similar experience. I played tons of piano/​11 years of lessons as a kid, so i can read music, but just knew a few chords when i came to Sten. I race home to play my guitar, practice all the time, and haven’t been this excited about something in years. A great teacher, a cool guy, and it’s changed my life and how i think about my old piano lessons, and music in general.

I recently took my first lesson. I bought a ukulele and thought I could teach myself using YouTube videos, but that was an immediate fail.
I played the sax in high school, but I never touched a stringed instrument. After one 30 minute lesson I had learned to play (slowly) a song. I’m now obsessed with practicing, and I’ve put in at least an hour every day. My next lesson is next week, and I can’t wait. It’s relaxing and challenging and I’m probably making my neighbors nuts.
Highly recommended.

I have been studying with here for almost a year, I started as a complete beginner. I knew how to make a few chords, but couldn’t make a song. I went home from my first lesson play the verse of Lou Reed’s «Sweet Jane» I told him I wanted to play Your Touch by the Black Keys and the next lesson he a TAB transcription ready and I learned it. The next week 12 bar boogie then Johnny B Good (Jimi style). What ever songs I want to learn, he teaches me. I can play JS Bachs Partita in Bm. I can also play bluegrass on Mandolin. I am working on Beethoven’s #3Sonatine for Mandolin. I can sight read standard notation now. I can play anything written. Now I’m learning technique and how to play what I hear. He has been trying to teach me that since the beginning. You get that little by little and by playing. These lessons have been one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I asked for Rod Stewart’s «Cut Across Shorty»
This week I learned Eddie Cochran’s (the guy who wrote it) and Rod’s too. I am dying to go play my guitar
