All the best!

" I can't say enough good things about this class. Marc's style is simple and effective. His lessons are clarifying and engaging. I've been searching for a year and a half for a guitar teacher that really stood out to me. Someone who could come down to my level. Someone who wasn't a snooze. Thank God for Skillshare! What I love most about this class is how he explained the similarities between power and bar chords. They are difficult, but not as scary as they seem. Marc gives plenty of examples and music to practice also. I felt like I had options at the end of the class to help get me from points A, B, and C. Above all, Marc is incredibly engaging. You can tell he loves guitar and has good people skills. Great job, Marc!" - Cassidy Sutton

"This class is a MUST! I've played guitar on and off for nearly a decade and I swear to you that I've learned more HERE than I have in most other lessons and independent mediums! Marc is fantastic, very enthusiastic and supportive, and I adore every moment of this class." - Siddhartha -Riku- Villanueva

"I am a novice in music and have always wanted to learn guitar since childhood. This course has proved to be a boon for absolute beginners like me. I loved guitar but had no knowledge about it. Now, I can hold the guitar and play the guitar confidently. Highly recommended.." - S A
