Dom Manasi was highly recommended to me and after 5 lessons, I can say without hesitation, I am very lucky to be studying with such an extraordinary musician and guitar player. When Dom said he could teach me to read music in a few months I was not convinced, as anyone with dyslexia, such as myself, would be. 5 years of lessons, as a kid, gave me a life long appreciation for playing along with few illusions about my very limited musicianship. In Doms case his musicianship and creativity are so inspiring as to be contagious. I am seeing, after a short time, significant progress in my playing ability and understanding of concepts that for years I thought were far beyond me. So instead of being intimidated by Doms vast knowledge and talent I just feel grateful to have found a committed teacher who cares about imparting his knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to his students. That enthusiasm fuels my commitment and who knows what I will be able to accomplish over the next year, in which time I will post another review.
