I have been playing guitar for over 10 years but got trapped in the low intermediate level and could never quite find the right youtube videos or online lesson plan to grow. I tried a few teachers over the years but always quit after a month or two because they didn’t feel right. Since starting lessons with Rami, I can see exponential growth month to month and feel like things are finally starting to click.
Rami is a very talented musician who is great at explaining difficult to understand concepts. He has a play-first approach so lessons and practice don't feel like homework. They are fun. And I've seen some serious progress in the last few months. Highly recommend!
Since starting out as a total beginner (never once picked up a guitar) to now, in about 8 months, I have gained a tremendous amount of knowledge and technical skill under Rami's guidance and teaching. I cannot recommend him more to anyone starting out or anyone looking to take their guitar playing to the next level.
So happy I made this decision, and to anyone looking for someone to help them get to the next level, look no further. Ditch the countless and endless videos on YouTube telling you how to play guitar, and learn from someone in real-time. It makes all the difference in the world!
I’m from the U.K was a bit skeptical about having a lesson over the internet. However the lesson was AWESOME! Rami is a total pro and in 5 mins managed to help me with something I’ve been struggling with for months.
Rami is an incredible teacher....he has so much insight on where you are at and where you need to go. I can't recommend him enough!
I always leave our sessions with more confidence and a better understanding of my guitar and music theory in general.
Rami has built a very comprehensive lesson plan, based on what I am looking to achieve, and has tailored the plan regularly to meet the pace of my progression. I can not only hear, but feel, the improvements
I've been playing seriously for about four years now, and based on asking a few questions and watching some of my recordings he gave me some tips along with exercises to help me along on my journey as an aspiring blues player.
Rami's style is quite mentoring, giving advice and making suggestions after he observes what you are doing, pinpointing the areas that will make the biggest difference, and the homework that you go away with will make you a better player.
Rami is a fantastic guitar teacher who really knows his stuff. You can tell he wants to provide as much value as possible during the lesson.
Don’t be afraid if you’re slightly older, I am 45 and I could understand his structured way of teaching. I usually tense up playing in front of people, but I felt comfortable in my lesson knowing I wasn’t be judged.
Rami is an excellent listener. He hears what you are saying and what you're not saying. He hears what you are playing and are not playing. He takes that all in and then in relatable terms he sets you on the best path to growing as a player.
I have been playing guitar for 23 years and he showed me some cool stuff. I absolutely recommend!
Rami was absolutely amazing. He had a way of deciding things which just seemed to create lightbulb moments and really make the path ahead clearer for me
