"Frank is one of those rare teachers who combines a truly remarkable musical talent with a great personality.  One is instantly at ease with him which makes the learning experience enjoyable and all the more rewarding.  He is by far the best guitar player I have ever heard - and the best teacher I have known."
-Dave Martin

"Frank demystified the complexity of playing over jazz changes by teaching me practical yet sophisticated approaches that you can readily apply. Before taking lessons with Frank I thought I had excellent timing and good tone but Frank took me to a new higher level. While I mostly focused on Jazz with Frank, my playing dramatically improved over all types of music,  and I have developed a very good command of the neck. I would recommend (and have) recommended Frank to anyone that really wants to master the guitar."
