Mark Sly taught me how to play guitar for three years, starting from the age of 13 until 16. He managed to keep my interest in the instrument, while still teaching me the fundamentals of music and guitar playing. He built my skill level to an impressive level in only 3 years. Mark is one of the most honest people I have ever met, was always on time, and was prompt and courteous in calling if he was going to be late, or unable to make an appointment. Not to mention, he always had the best rate we could find. He has a true talent for teaching and clearly loves his job, which makes for a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I have, and would recommend him to anyone who was interested in learning how to play.
