Troy is my Sifu of Shred! I have been doing a monthly private session for over 6 months. I can say every single session has been challenging and always raises the bar for me. I really appreciate how Troy engages and actually listens to the larger context of my own personal musical journey, which he then seamlessly integrates into the current tasks I should focus on. Then, he'll demonstrate a few things with such precision and ease that my jaw drops! Troy is a master double-stop...being both a master player and a master teacher. This combination is so rare, it is worth every penny!! If you're on the fence or looking for something of real depth and substance, then give private coaching a shot. Trust me, your guitars (yes, I know you own more than one LOL) will thank you...and you will level-up your skills with precision and clarity. Cheers & Namaste my fellow disciples of shred!
