"Zach is a tremendous player. His techniques and creativity are TOP NOTCH!"
"(Zach) played some sweep picking things I've never seen before in my life. Astonishing speed and clarity and cool vibrato."

"I can only say thank you for what you are doing. Because lessons are really, for some people, they are just key."
"Zach's a killer player. This guy can really shred, you should check him out!"

"Zach is an intelligent, creative player with incredible skill! Students will benefit greatly from his wisdom and expertise."
Asked which guitarist is his biggest influence, he said that lately he's been learning from two players, and I'm one of them.

Real Google reviews from my music schools.
"Being an older student I was a bit skeptical that my time had passed but with Zach’s help I can confidently tell people that I can actually now play the guitar."
"I've had a guitar for 20 years and never learned to play it... In just over five months I have learned quite a few songs."
"As an adult beginner, I struggled trying to learn with online instruction. I’ve made more progress in a few months with Zach than I did during the entire time I spent on my own."
"Had gotten as far as I could go on my own being self taught... Learned more in 4 lessons than I have in a half dozen years!"
"I've played guitar off an on for about 15 years, but am 99% self-taught and had pretty much reached a plateau... After only a couple of lessons I'm having more fun with the guitar than I've had in years."
"I’ve been playing guitar for approximately 35 years... he taught me more in a month than I could’ve imagined."
"Zach has been teaching my 12 year old for a couple of months and his progress has been amazing! He knew an entire song in less than a month."
"I've been with Zach for a little under a year now and am starting to feel comfortable enough with my playing to actually start posting videos and signing up for gigs (no musical understanding at all previously)."
"I am older and have just recently decided to learn guitar... This has been a win for this old dog."
And hundreds more!
I picked up the guitar. I've played for over 20 years since.
I won 1st place at Ibanez Flying Fingers, a national guitar competition in the USA.
I opened my first music school in Omaha in 2017. I've added three more since, in Gretna, Bellevue and Elkhorn.
I recorded my debut album, The Future Isn't What It Used to Be.
I run my 4 music schools, and this community is where I teach guitar online.
No. A lot of my students started as adults, some after 20 or 30 years away from the guitar. You can read their reviews above.
Yes. The First 7 Days starts at zero: how to hold the guitar and the pick. Many of my students had no music background when they started.
About 15 minutes a day is enough to make steady progress.
Either one. The beginner course comes in both versions, and the practice app works with whichever you play.
Your first 7 days in my community are free. After that it's $29 a month, and the courses, the practice app and the group are all included.
