Check out what some students are saying about Vito's teaching.

Mike Smith:
I'm a blues player that also enjoys playing metal. Vito has given me many ideas of how to mix the two styles. Showing that no matter what style you play Vito can teach things that can help any style of music. Vito also gave me a new way of looking at the same boring scales and made practicing fun again.

Mike Moses:
Vito is a really great instructor. No matter if you are a beginner or a pro, you can really learn a lot from him. He does it at a pace that is just right and takes the time to walk you through anything that you want to learn or be taught. He is very thorough in his lessons and even gives you printed out tabs of every lesson. I must say that out of the various guitar teachers that I have had over the years, he is by far my favorite. Really great to get a long with and is open to teaching anything. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He offers two session times to my knowledge: 30 minutes and 1 hour. In my opinion, get the hour! Way worth it.

Andrey Kolesnikov:
I took several 30-minute electric guitar lessons with Vito and I would definitely recommend him as an instructor. I was at a beginner level when he was teaching me and he was really thorough and patient with me. Answered all of my questions, gave me pointers, went over exercises with me. I only stopped going because my college semester is starting and I won't have enough time.

He actually plays a different style of music than what I wanted to learn, but he was able to suggest songs out of the genres that I'm interested in, and created my exercises to match the music type I listed to.

I thought it was great that he created a bunch of custom tabs for me to practice on after every lesson (he actually a part of them on his own time) and emailed them to me. Thus he didn't make the lesson into simple repetition of melodies - he simply showed how to do stuff and made sure I got the idea of it, answered any questions, made suggestions, then gave me practice material and I went home to practice. Makes it much more worth the money.

He also seems like a really nice guy. Give him a try! Besides, his first lesson is free.

Don Taglianetti:
Vito has been teaching me for two weeks now, and he is the third guitar teacher I had. He made it fun to learn and didn't get frustrated with me and teaches at a pace I'm comfortable with. I'm Still a beginner but with in those two weeks I have noticed a difference I'm getting better so to you Mr.Marchese thank you very much.
