I took guitar lessons from Gerry for 7 years -- and I have nothing but the most positive things to say. He taught me so much about music -- how to *listen*, how to play with purpose, and how to approach a song from all different angles. Since my lessons, I've been able to carve out a full-time career in the music industry and write songs for numerous bands in New York City and Austin -- and I owe it all to him! I highly recommend Mendoza's Guitar Studio for students of all ages and skill sets. Gerry will have you playing all sorts of different songs (including ones you love, ones you've never heard -- and hopefully some of your own) before you know it.
