Quinn is a great teacher. I came to him with a song I wanted to learn how to play (Oasis' Wonderwall), and he walked me through all of the song parts (verses, bridge, and chorus), teaching me how to strum, when to change chords, the rhythm, and even walked me through the tough parts....countless numbers of times.
By the end I felt confident to play the song through. Quinn was patient and kind and is really talented - he has a great ear!
