Dr. Seth Greenberg has reintroduced the love of music for my 13-year-old son. My son took lessons from several other instructors but always found they were pushing their own agenda and not truly engaged with his interests and what he wanted to learn. Following my son's first lesson with Dr. Greenberg, my son asked if he could continue lessons with him! That was a first. He is patient, extremely intelligent, and engaged with his students. My son is making music on the guitar, and we are looking forward to the continued progress with this teacher. He is also very responsive when I message him and is also in tune with my son's taste in music. We are so lucky to have found him, and we rate him 5 stars because he has the right balance between teaching and listening to his students to help them achieve their goals.

Guitar bucket list - If you want to lay the foundation for excellence with the guitar, I highly recommend Seth. I had a background in music and piano, but at 55 years of age, I wanted to learn the guitar. Seth did an excellent job of customizing what I already knew about music with what I needed to learn about the guitar and moved at a challenging and rewarding pace while being patient and encouraging along the way. I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking to check that 'always wanted to learn to play the guitar' box on their bucket list.

I found Dr. Seth after trying to take guitar lessons with friends (spoiler alert: it wasn't a good idea to take a lesson with friends). Dr. Seth is a very patient and kind teacher. I like how he really emphasizes the importance of knowing your fretboard. Most guitar teachers will just teach you the shapes - Dr. Seth teaches you music theory and all the notes on your fretboard. He's very good at assessing your skill level and needs as a guitar player. I felt very comfortable with Seth as my teacher. I highly recommend him to guitar players at any skill level.

Seth is an absolutely wonderful teacher. And I cannot emphasize the teacher aspect enough. Over just 3 lessons, he helped me learn a song I wanted to play at my wedding (with almost no prior experience with guitar). He is patient, flexible in his style to match with what worked for me, and has been endlessly supportive. I believe the best teachers adapt to the needs of their students, and Seth excels at this. I give him my strongest recommendation. If you are looking for guitar lessons, he should be your first stop.

My son (age 10) started taking guitar lessons with Dr. Seth Greenberg in the fall of 2016, having never played guitar before. With Seth's patience and knowledgeable tutelage, Luca was playing recognizable pieces in a short time. He never felt frustrated and always looked forward to his lessons. Seth is a great guitar teacher whose in-depth experience and knowledge allow him to tailor his lessons to each student individually. He is patient, and kind and clearly loves what he does, which is to inspire a love of music in each of his students...oh and teach them to play guitar! I highly recommend Seth.

I have wanted to take guitar lessons for years but could not find the teacher I was looking for until seven weeks ago. After taking as many lessons, I can tell you that I have found an outstanding teacher, Seth Greenberg. Seth is technically brilliant, and his ability to teach is just TERRIFIC. He is non-threatening and very patient. Five stars is not a high enough rating. If you are looking for an outstanding guitar teacher, you don't have to look any further than Seth Greenberg.

One of the most challenging aspects as a beginning guitar player can be knowing where to start. I have had lessons before, but unfortunately, so-so experiences until a good friend of mine recommended Dr. Seth Greenberg. Without a doubt, I am so glad he was recommended! Seth is truly a wonderful instructor. He made me feel comfortable and made learning the basics easy. I love that I didn't feel rushed or pressured to move on to the next lesson plan until I felt comfortable to continue on. He's very patient, funny, and made me feel confident playing the guitar. I've had previous instructors move on too fast to where I felt I couldn't catch up. And if I had to backtrack, it almost felt like an inconvenience to refresh or review a previous lesson. I feel Seth values his students and ensures his student(s) take away an important learning experience, especially a unique style. I was so excited to learn strumming patterns, fingerpicking patterns, 12 bar blues, finger placement for chords, guitar scales, major triad positions, and he had me pick 2 songs I loved and wanted to learn to play.
I wanted to learn to jazz, and he made it happen!!! Dr. Seth Greenberg is awesome, and I highly recommend him for ALL AGES!!!
