"That lesson with Francesca had great energy and positivity, which was pretty encouraging. I especially liked her relaxed approach and how she kept the vibe natural, though I still want to stand up on a green wave next time. Still, I feel like I’m making progress, and it’s encouraging to have someone so steady guiding the way. If you're into lessons that foster a calm but motivating environment, you might want to give Francesca a shot.

"Vreny is more than a kick-ass guitar teacher-- he's a freakin' saint for putting up with my sorry ass. I've been wanting to get really good at the guitar for a long time. It's one of the few instruments that has always eluded me (I guess because it requires actual practice for mastery), and that I've never been able to get past plunking a few chords out on (because I have no time-- and, ok, I'll admit it-- not much of a desire-- to practice). I found Vreny through some quirk of fate, and even though he's alllll the way out in Hollywood, I decided to write to him and see if he could take another student. Fortunately for me, he could. I worked out a trade with him-- I did training and massage on him, and he gave me guitar lessons. He was patient with me (and trust me, teaching me guitar requires A LOT OF PATIENCE), customized the lessons based on how I learn, and gave me stuff I enjoyed playing. Despite my lack of practicing, I was actually progressing. Shocker!! After a while, I started taking 2 lessons a week because I wanted to progress faster (and because Vreny is just that cool). I have to say, I did pretty well. It almost made me want to practice more. 

Unfortunately, my schedule doesn't allow me to take guitar lessons any more at the moment. But if I ever get the time again, Vreny is my man. If anyone can get me to be the next female Yngvie Malmstein, it's Vreny. He's the bomb-diggity.
