Great lessons, my daughter has learned so much in a very short time. Definitely recommend!
Daves a guitar genius and a fantastic teacher. My progress since taking lessons with Dave has been stratospheric. Im not only practicing my favorite songs and guitar techniques, but Im also learning how to read music too.
Most of David Chavezs students will tell you, this guy is hilarious, patient, and extremely talented; if you pull me aside and ask how do I like being a student at Vez Guitar Academy, well I would say I am very happy my friend stumbled across Daves ad on the paper one summer day, waved it over my face and called the number herself because I refused to call myself.I hadnt intend on getting lessons, let alone keep paying for over a year of private lessons, but Vez Guitar Academy is currently a permanent stay on my schedule and I have enjoyed every moment of learning experience under Daves mentoring and teaching. The moment I actually and finally spoke to Dave on the phone I thought yeah go book an appointment and we started from there.It was a rought start for me. I had very miniscule exposure to music theory but love all sorts of genre it has to offer. I listen to most, from the sad melodies of country to the imaginative improvisations of jazz. I also have a crazy schedule and that often leaves little to no time for practice. Dave will push to get some practice in, because that is the only way to get the basics under your belt, but he understands that everyone has different lifestyles and schedules. As for his style of teaching, he will always give you more than you think you can handle, but in the end, like I had discovered, it all made sense after a few more sessions. Never forget to ask questions and ask how to improve. Just like any other things in life, your results will depend on how much time and effort you put in yourself.During my own sessions, Id struggle and get frustrated, but Daves ok with that. Get your frustrations out, ask questions, ask for suggestions and Dave will patiently point out what you can do better and suddenly after a few more tries, it clicks, if doesnt then he tells you to keep trying.So if you are looking to find a place that will guide you to become an amazing guitar player, you have found the right place and teacher for an amazing price too.
Dave is super friendly. And there are a lot of guitars to choose from!
Awesome instructor and staff!!!
