Nico is literally the best!! Could not recommend him more.

I've had guitars for years (decades), and two teachers prior to Nico. But any kind of real progress I made with them, and on my own, was always ultimately unsatisfying, and always felt incomplete, with some important things missing. The skillset I had never matched the player in my mind.

However, with Nico, I've made more progress than I have ever before, the kind of progress that puts songs under your fingertips – and into your repertoire – and confidence in your playing, some true wind in your sails.

His foundational approaches, problem-solving techniques, and patience helped me put some of my bad guitar habits behind me, while imparting new concepts and techniques that challenge but don't overwhelm.

100 percent recommend.

Nico is quite a dedicated and thoughtful teacher. He strikes a good balance between the need for repetition and working on fundamentals, but also the need to really enjoy and get a feel for the musical experience. Highly recommend.

Nico is a kind, patient, and fun teacher! 10/10 would recommend!

Nico is patient, talented, and funny—the best guitar teacher in town! Highly recommend

In short, Nico is a very talented musician and patient and kind teacher. I have been working with him for over a year and he makes classes fun and interactive by working on songs you’re interested in. Even though I’m not a professional musician, I feel like I’ve learned a lot about all of the different elements of music. As a bilingual learner, I also find it helpful that he’s bilingual in English and Spanish (more music choices). Highly recommend.

Great, kind teacher — guitar lessons are fun and Nico is very patient. Would recommend

I’ve been taking lessons with Nico for a year. I’m a guitarist of 20+ years and I got off the couch and started playing with other people about 4 years ago. My own personal growth was stagnant and then I found Nico.

He’s a heckuva guitar player but he’s also a terrific teacher. They say “thise who can’t teach” but Nico is an exception to that phrase. He’s a player and he’s able to also convey the knowledge that he’s worked to acquire and does it in a way that is easy to understand. He’s also not just a guitar teacher or a teacher of an instrument but he’s helping to understand music from a foundational level and helping me to build from the ground up the things that I didn’t know that I just wasn’t aware of.

It’s reassuring to know that I’ve found a competent and knowledgeable teacher who I plan to work with for years to come,
