Taylor has been instructing my 15 yr old son for 6 months now. I was amazed how quickly my son took to the guitar. I believe it has a lot to do with Taylor's teaching style. My son will, as most teens do, take something up and drop it. With guitar, he has stuck to it. Taylor adapts his teaching to what music my son is interested in. He is always encouraging and extremely patient. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
