Ashleigh D.

Randy is a great teacher. He really understands how to work with students to help them become better guitar players, whether they are beginners or experienced musicians. He listens to students' questions and can provice thoughtful answers, and he's good at diagnosing problems with technique or comprehension of the material. I also like his ability to adapt teaching points to fit students' learning styles.

I've played guitar for 30 years, and had my first lesson with Randy. I wish I would have come to him at year 1. He has taught me more in a few months than I have learned on my own, and my technique is 100% better.

Randy is a true professional. He is excellent at teaching students at any age and experience level. I have truly enjoyed taking lesson with Randy. He keeps me excited about learning guitar by focusing on music I am interested in and designing practice sheets/homework for my specific needs. If you want someone who knows his stuff and is fun to learn with, I highly recommend Randy.

Great Guitar Teacher! I have been a guitar student of the "Randy Soller Guitar Studio" for almost 2yrs. Proven in experience, knowledge and talent; he will guide you with lessons catered to your needs and wants. Quite motivating in his studio environment and his interaction and responsiveness to your skill-level of playing. I highly recommend Randy to take your guitar playing to where you want to go.

Sujud J.

I wanted to learn how to play an instrument and I went for a guitar. I found Randy and I’m glad that I found him. He’s the only guitar teacher I’ve tried and I won’t be needing to try others because I found everything I need to learn from him. He’s very nice and has a lot of patience. He started with me from scratch and after almost two years I can see big progress within myself. Each time I go to him I notice improvement every single week. He’s very knowledgeable and I like his confidence while he’s teaching. Now I own two guitars and always reaching for my guitar to play some music.
