Berklee College of Music alumni with 20 years of playing and performing experience and more than 10 years of teaching experience ready to teach technique and theory to students of all levels

I am a beginner at guitar and Andy has been teaching me all the basics. Even though his level is so much beyond mine, manages to explain everything very clearly. He adapts his approach and the topic he teaches to my level and style, and he is very patient whenever it takes me longer to understand something. Very recommended for beginners, and I’m sure for higher level guitar players as well!

As someone who has studied with many teachers over the years, I can say with absolute confidence that Andy is a teacher who completely knows his way in the material he teaches, and not just theoretically, he effortlessly demonstrates the things he talks about. His explanations and examples are very clear and on point, and he knows how to perfectly match his topics and teaching approach to the student, as he treats each one as unique individual with unique aspirations and ways of learning. 100% recommended

I was looking for the right teacher for me for a while. When I studied with Andy, I knew he was a great fit for my learning style. He teaches difficult subjects in an easy to digest way without losing important details. I thought this was critical to my learning process as I'm a complete beginner. I could not recommend him more.

Andy is one of the most proficient guitar/music teachers out there. He listens to what I need and gives lessons to me in digestible sessions. The best guitar teacher I’ve had and will be recommending all of my friends from all levels, beginners to advanced.

Besides being a joy to be around, Andy’s passion and dedication to his craft are both inspiring and infectious. You can tell he loves what he does and he manages to bring that out in you whenever you spend time learning from him. He always has a clear idea and plan for what you need to learn, but he is equally ready to go along with whatever you’re personally interested in working on. I would highly recommend reaching out to him!

Andy is a great teacher! As someone learning guitar theory, it is clear that he has great knowledge and passion in teaching music. He is a great teacher whether you are looking to form great habits as a guitarist, or to expand upon your knowledge in music theory. Andy's got a good teaching style that's patient and easy to follow. He's helped me make progress without feeling overwhelmed.

Andy is one of the most patient, enthusiastic, and understanding teachers I have ever worked with. I am an intermediate guitar player and his critiques and encouragement really has elevated me to another level of understanding. He specifically opened my eyes to how proper technique can greatly inform my playing for ALL genres playing guitar not just one style. Not only that, just watching his skill and performances are inspiring in of itself. I would highly recommend studying with Andy Estrella.

Andy is one of the most creative and talented musicians I have ever worked with. His understanding of guitar technique and harmonic function goes beyond the norm. In my time working with Andy I have seen him display a diverse knowledge of stylistic techniques and how they work within the frame of the music. When picking a guitar teacher I could not wish for a more knowledgeable and kind soul.
