Vez Guitar Academy

They are selling Cordoba classic guitars at good price. Come check them out.

As I said in my previous review, Vez Guitar Academy is a permanent stay on my schedule and it still is.
It will be for a long while.
You want to learn guitar? Struggling? Try out a new mentor and teacher. Dave will guide you and make you the best guitar player you can be.
Why bother with the rest, when Vez Guitar is the best. (uhuh yes, I just did that)
That’s all folks.

Although this might sound like an obvious plug, it is very sincere: Dave is a guitar genius. I have been taking lessons with him for over 2 years now and I have no intention of stopping that any time soon. I know that no matter how good I get, Dave always has more useful things to teach. He teaches very fundamental theories and links them to practical drills that hone your skills slowly but surely. While the theories can seem overwhelmingly complicated at first, it eventually all makes sense and it helps not only in playing music but also in understanding why it is played a certain way (for example why certain melodies fit well along with certain chords or why certain scales can be used to seamlessly switch between keys). Of course he also teaches you to play songs, either by your suggestion or specifically picked by Dave to hone some particular skill you need to improve, and all the songs I’ve learned have been fun to play even though I had never heard of some of them before.
Dave stays loyal to his students and has reoccurring special offers throughout the year, both on lessons and equipment. Sometimes he bundles lessons with equipment for a good discount, which is how I finally ended up adding an acoustic guitar to my electric. The hours really are set up for the students, and Dave can accommodate almost any schedule. As long as you give prior notice he is also very good at rescheduling sessions when you are too busy to make it.
Finally, I should mention that dave always gives you more material than you would normally fully master in the one week between lessons. It may seem overwhelming at times but it helps to see different advanced theory and techniques early on and try them out. Later, when you come back to them all of a sudden they don’t seem that difficult any more. Of course you will learn more from Dave if you dedicate a lot of time to his assignments. And there is no way he will run out of material to teach you if you work hard. However even if you are a busy person (like myself) you can learn the material slowly step by step and still get a lot of rewarding skills.
If you feel like you want to try to learn guitar or if you already play and just want to get better, this is the best place I know to go.

David Chavez is great guitar player and teacher but overloads his schedule. He cannot accommodate people with busy schedules and once he has your money accommodates you even less. Because oft busy schedule I had to miss some classes which he never rescheduled. He went on vacation and didn’t even tell me. I showed up when no one was there and I live 25 miles away. When I finally realized that Dave could care less about you once he had your money I stopped showing up and tried to get a refund through my credit card. Dave lied about trying to reschedule and trying to accomodate me and sent in copies of the contract stating he did not have to give any refund.
Don’t sign up for any long term lessons. Once he’s got your money you won’t be accommodated.
