What Students are saying

 

Manoj Tandon

Eight years ago, my son and I started learning guitar together

as he was interested in learning the instrument

and I had always tinkered with the idea

but never really thought of executing on it. 

Eight years have been quite a journey,

led by our patient guide and teacher

Drew Bentley. 

Without his patience and guidance,

 

we would have been lost. 

In the age of the internet there is

much information on the

mechanics of playing available online. 

Mechanics though important,

in and of themselves,

give you little capability

to make music. 

Music is not mechanical it is

an expression of

rhythm, melody,

and human emotion. 

Each person’s formulation of the

three elements is a unique expression. 

To bring out that unique expression

to its pinnacle, in the student,

is to reveal the musician within. 

A very difficult task that requires

deep knowledge of music, great judgement

to determine how to best progress

an individual, and patience and

persistence to ingrain the

proper teachings. 

Drew has all of those qualities

and we thus sometimes refer to

him as guitar sage. 

We have been fortunate to have had

and continue to have his guidance

in our own journey to reveal the

musician within.

The guitar lessons with Drew

have been a great experience.

I have been playing for 27 years

and quickly noticed an improvement

in my playing and musical

understanding. 

He is very knowledgeable in music theory, rock,

blues, jazz and practical techniques

to improve ones playing.   I am very

impressed with his ability to read

the student to teach the guitar in

a way that is easy to understand

and to get the absolute most out

of every lesson. 

He provides a how and why

understanding so that the lessons

are easy to remember. 

The lessons have been focused

on meeting my interests and renewed

my enjoyment in playing.

Drew is a super great teacher,

I’m 16 and I’ve been taking lessons

for a little less than a year and

I’ve already learned so much

on the guitar. I went in just knowing

the basic chords and maybe a scale,

but now I know several scales,

I can improvise more confidently,

and learning songs has gotten

so much easier.

It’s great because Drew has such

an extensive and vast knowledge

of all styles of music, so he can

teach you anything you want.

In the time I’ve been there he’s taught

me some rock, some blues, some jazz,

and also just techniques that work

in every style. It’s a super personal

experience and he tailors each lesson

to the specific student and their

learning style, plus it’s just flat out fun!

I can’t wait to see what we’ll be doing

for the years to come.

Drew Bentley Method Online is designed primarily

for the late-beginner to early-intermediate guitarist who feels stuck.

You probably know some chords. You may know a scale or two.

You can play the guitar—but you’re still trying to figure out how

everything connects and how to turn what you know into actual music.

That’s where the Method begins.

Depending on your experience, the early lessons may feel exactly right,

a little easy, or even challenging. That’s intentional. We begin by

establishing the foundational concepts and shared language that

everything else will build upon.

From there, the Method continues to expand and develop over many years, covering a tremendous amount of ground in the first year alone.

Start where you are. Build the connections. Keep moving forward.

Clear Direction. Real Progress.
