"Dave Gorrie is more than just a highly trained musician from the prestigious Peabody Conservatory, Dave is a master at teaching students the art of playing the guitar. Dave possesses an uncanny ability to listen to music and transcribe the notes to a page. When you hire Dave as a guitar instructor, you will not be disappointed. He taught my son for several years."

"He knows a lot about gutsiest and music theory and he enjoys working on things from solos to jazz improvisation. He also knows how certain parts of the guitar works so he can give some advice for repairing it. He is a great teacher. I have been doing lessons with him for a few years now. I have feel like my skills have improved dramatically."
