“I have known Luke for over 10 years. He has been a bandmate, taught in my music store, gave me lessons and a good friend! He is flat out one of the best guitar teachers you will find. He absolutely shreds on the guitar! I can't recommend him enough!”
— Robin Roberts
“Luke is an amazing instructor. Both my daughter and husband take lessons from him. He is incredibly talented, patient and knowledgeable! I would recommend him to anyone!”

“Luke is a fantastic teacher - I took lessons with him for over a year. Very patient and pays attention to your goals as a guitar player - he works hard to instill good playing habits and create a weekly practice plan, while still making the experience fun and rewarding.”

“At 40, I decided to try my hand at guitar, though I had never before played any instrument ever. A couple years later, I have a wonderful hobby that brings me hours of joy. Since my son took lessons too, we have something to do together. And it's all thanks to Luke. He's patient, thorough, and his lessons make sense. My son and I think he's terrific.”
— Benjamin Gluck
“I've studied with Luke for a little over a year and my playing and understanding of jazz concepts has improved tremendously. I'm primarily a rock and blues player but Luke has been able to stretch my playing out side of my rock/blues box and introduce some very cool techniques and ideas to add real interest and flavor to my playing. It's been a pure pleasure!”
— Chris Conte
“Luke has been teaching our 13 year old son for 3 years. He knows how to engage him and support him. He even buys Girl Scout cookies from our daughter! Luke is a kind person and a great guitar teacher!”
— Mimi Stolpe
“Awesome teacher for all different guitar styles. If you're looking for a great guitar teacher, Luke is the guy. Very down to earth, genuine instructor who is looking to help you improve and enjoy the guitar. He has all the credentials, if that is important to you, but more importantly for me is his way of breaking down the complexity of the instrument and helping to pin-point where you are and where you want to go. I've been playing guitar for too many years and Luke is one of the best I've taken lessons from! Hire Him if You Want to Get Better!”
— Ed Kanemoto
“Luke is the best guitar instructor I've ever had. He caters to my learning style very well, which is to learn just the stuff that "works" in a real life setting. His insight has made my sound 10x better and has given me a great framework for improvement (Even my band mates have noticed a difference with my playing). He also has a keen sense of where my own guitar playing issues stem from and knows what needs to be done to address them. I highly recommend Luke if you are looking to improve your sound.”
— Henry Choi
“Luke takes the time to explain and teach the importance of technique and the fundamentals at a quick and fun pace, and will have you playing in no time or playing better than before!”
— Steven Fonseca
“Luke is an amazing teacher, and I've been taking both acoustic and electric guitar lessons with him for about 4 years. He tailors his lessons to the needs of each individual student, making sure that you learn good technique while you're learning to play songs that YOU like and want to learn. His teaching style really works for me and has kept me motivated to continue to build my skills with increasingly challenging songs. I'm only sorry I didn't start sooner!”
