"I met Jim a few years ago while searching for new guitar gear. Jim is a very accomplished guitar player who is knowledgeable in many genres of music. Jim isn't the type who's rigid or cold in his teaching, its obvious he enjoys playing and teaching and does a great job of working towards YOUR goals. Whether you want to learn a certain genre, learn to solo better, or even learn full blown music theory, Jim can cover everything."

"Ive been a student with Jim Mattrazzo for about 6 months now. I have to say this has been an awesome experience. My level of playing and music theory knowledge is greatly increased, and continues to increase. Jim is not only a great guitar teacher, he really knows how to convey his knowledge to his student. And that is what sets him apart."
