Josh is an entertaining and fun teacher, and gave me some good insight on right-hand technique and new ways to form chords. He did his best trying to teach a group of students with different levels of expertise. He was very open to working in topics and songs that students suggested, and always ready to answer questions on pretty much any subject of technique. I would have liked a little more structure/preparation for the lessons, but this was his first time teaching in this format, so I’m willing to excuse that!
