"He Absolutely Loves the Lessons."

"You have helped me grow tremendously. My skill level is way up and my confidence is way up. I have moved from being a plunker to a real player where I can fill, change keys, play by ear, and so much more. You are great fun to work with and very patient. I am extremely satisfied with the value you give."
-- Dr. Paul DeYoung (Hope College)

"Had a very fun lesson! I learned so much on the first day I immediately took out my bass and started practicing as soon as I got home! Tim is a very nice, fun knowledgable guy and I highly recommended him!" -- Charlie Pynnonen

“Thanks Tim, for all the useful instruction.
I've learned and progressed more in the past couple of months of lessons with you than I have in floundering the previous 28 years of trying to learn on my own.”

"He (Nikolaus) absolutely loves the lessons...
He has been practicing everyday and can now do his scale forward and backward. He can also play the f,e,and g sheet that you gave him and not only that he can play the whole thing of amazing grace and jingle bells. He is so excited and proud about it. Thanks so much for your patience.
You are a great teacher!" - Stephanie Couturier

"i taught myself the basics of guitar but after taking lessons with tim i now have a strong understanding of the fret board and how the notes connect. i'm able to write riffs and use cool tricks (hammer-ons, pull-offs, vibrato, muting...) to make my solo's sound full and interesting...my guitar playing has definitely improved since taking lessons from tim. he is great teacher and encourages you to move forward in the style of playing that most interests you. if you want to learn and really understand guitar, i would highly recommend tim mainka!" -- Angel Will
