These are just a few of the nice comments people have made about their experience with my guitar instruction.

“Teach an old dog new tricks? Rod CAN!!! 44 years of professionally playing bass, self taught by emulating what others had played before me and with thousands of gigs under my belt, what could be learned? Well, lessons with Rod opened my mind to a clear understanding and the simplicity of the basis of all music that had been a mystery for all those 44 years. Beginner or pro Rod can show you what it takes to play music and how to have fun while doing it. Many thanks Rod.” - Ken Wittman, Bassist http://www.wittman-spins.com and http://www.guitartuners.com

"Rod doesn't take a cookie-cutter approach to music lessons. He hand-tailors instruction to address an individual's goals. Rod couples a broad knowledge and experience base with great teaching skills, which makes the lessons very effective. And for a cherry on top: Rod is just an all-around cool dude." - Josh Girio

"The most valuable thing I learned from Rod is how to improvise or how to do my own thing either on guitar or on the bass. This comes in handy being in a band  that does mostly original songs. I'm glad I took lessons from Rod. It's nice to actually have someone show you how to do something and have that one on one interaction. Thanks Rod!!!" - Mike Swartz http://viabass.com/

"I just wanted to take a moment and tell you how impressed I am with your site. There is a lot of good stuff there as far as your music, the jam tracks, and the "free stuff." Its great that you make jam tracks available to those of us who are too broke to buy them and too inexperienced with software to make them. I have really enjoyed working different modes over the different chord progressions. It has really helped me get a hold of what mode works with what genre of music. Thanks so much" - Jim Perkerson
