from paul's students




I've been playing guitar for many years, just learning other people's stuff, strictly a "bedroom player". When I decided I wanted to play out a little, I felt "stuck", not really knowing how to create my own music. So, I came to Paul to kind of "jump start" my playing. And he has done exactly that. Paul has a great way of putting musical concepts into a very understandable form, particularly scale/chord relationships. He's very engaging, and knows how to push you, without being "pushy". His years of stage and studio experience give him a well-rounded repertoire of ideas to draw from. Thanks Paul !!
I have always been interested in the guitar but had no clue about the instrument until I met Paul. He has taught me everything from theory to playing techniques. Paul pays extremely close attention to how you play and corrects you to maximize your playing ability. He is always open to suggestions which make his lessons fun to go to. Not only have I learned a tremendous amount about the guitar from him in the past three years, he has also introduced me to some of my now favorite artists. I would definitely recommend Paul Tauterouff to anyone looking for guitar lessons. He isn't just an awesome teacher, he's a great friend.
It's great to be able to learn this nitty gritty stuff from someone who knows it, enjoys teaching it and cares that their students get it. The exercises you gave me are very creative, clear, easy to understand and effective which I appreciate very much. This single lesson has given me more "visible" progress than everything I have done the past couple of months!!! And I haven't even started practicing yet!!! So this is VERY encouraging and FUN! Ok - I'm rambling now but I've got a bit of a spark now I did not have before the lesson. Woo Hoo! Thanks again.
