Testimonials

Thanks to Martin, I am finally getting out of my decade long rut! He’s taught me how to keep time, practice correctly, and find my own style. The only teacher (I’ve had many before him) to spend extra time writing out patterns, visualizations, and licks tailored just for me. Can’t recommend him enough!

So I've only had a few sessions with Martin so take this into consideration when reviewing my comment.

I reached out to Martin since I was in a rut moving from video to video trying to learn guitar and get some type of motivation.

Martin has helped me to get the spark back by providing me with a structured way to approach the blues and the Saturday sessions are not coming quick enough! Love his approach and his obvious love of the guitar and the blues.

My suggestion would be: Stop with the random YouTube videos and get on a structured course path from Martin! The instant feedback you get from your questions is amazing and less time consuming!

Taking my first guitar lessons from Martin has been amazing. Martin has a way to explain things that allow me to visualize and understand the instrument. I Am about to complete my first series of lessons, and I still can't believe the progress that I've made. Looking forward to continuing taking lessons from Martin and achieving my goals. Highly recommended.

Martin is a great teacher and great player. I'm having a great time learning from him.
His lessons have helped me unlock the fretboard in new ways. Friendly, inspiring and professional.

I have been playing guitar on and off for about 15 years and would describe myself as an intermediate player playing mainly blues. Although I had a reasonable understanding of the five minor pentatonic shapes I just couldn't seem to break out of the boxes and my playing sounded bland and lacking flavour. I have never been great at learning scales and mainly just improvise in the minor pentatonic's.

I stumbled across Martins videos on YouTube and was immediately drawn to his playing style, and clarity explaining how he sees the fretboard. I decided to take online Skype lessons with Martin as I live in New Zealand, and it's the best thing I have ever done for my playing. For the first time ever I can play over a 12 bar blues without feeling restricted to the shapes. I play a lot more blended patterns now using the hybrid scale and adding notes as the “salt and pepper” to give a more major flavour.

The lesson on the three zones of the pentatonic patterns was a huge lightbulb moment and helped me see the fretboard in a whole new light. It makes a lot more sense now.

Martin has also really helped improve my rhythm playing with some excellent tips and advice.

He has a natural teaching style that sets an ideal learning environment so students at any level can feel relaxed to learn. I am looking forward to more lessons with Martin soon to continue my improvements and would totally recommend him to others.

The space of this testimonial box is probably too small to allow me to express my enthusiasm and gratitude generated by Martin. Great human being to start with, Martin will always give you the best of himself: great teaching techniques, theory of music delivered in a proper and easy manner, great advice to improve your skills, history of music and so much more. A pleasure to be around him, great teacher and talented musician with an impressive music background, Martin will always be my reference for a great and tasteful mixture of jazz and blues on the Montreal scenery.

Florin

Martin in really an inspiring teacher!! He knows how to transmit his passion for the blues, which is the most important thing. He thought me lots of guitar tricks that accelerated my learning...how to visualize positions in the guitar neck, how to mix minor and major scales, how to change scale over a blues progression, how to add a jazz sound to the blues. I really learned a lot from him so far!
Muchas gracias Martin!

Max
