I have been taking lessons with ethan for a few months and I can see a substantial improvement in my playing.the best thing about ethan is he listens to his students about where they want to go with the guitar and he crafts his lesson within those parameters.ethan is very patient and has excellent communication skills.playing along with ethan and getting that thrill when I nail a lesson is the highlight of my week. I am a very busy person with not enough time to truly immerse myself in my lesson and ethan gears my lesson to maximize my practice time. The time spent with ethan,while fun,is serious.i can tell ethan takes pride in his craft and I believe that translates into inspiring his student as it has me.
