Marcelo Berestovoy

Modern Fingerstyle Practice Plan

I have purchased six of Marcelo's videos and they're all excellent. He's a wonderful teacher who is clear and concise. This video, in particular, has been a great source since they include his etudes which focus on technique and expression. I feel I've made great progress with these wonderful little exercises. I highly recommend this course along with all his other ones!

Best of the bests

Marcelo is by far the best teacher I have found on JamPlay and elsewhere. His lessons are stimulating, fluid and well designed, his explanations clear and encouraging. I highly recommend his lessons. Looking forward to new courses!

An Amazing Teacher

You will never have a dull moment with Marcelo, he gives soul to teaching. I've had a bunch of teachers and Marcelo has been the best by far. He's made me grown a ton as a musician and keeps me excited to know more. I've been playing for more than 10 years and I think he'd be a great fit for students of any level. He has deep knowledge and never fails to answer a question and I've never failed to understand his explanations. He can teach several styles in a simple and interesting manner. He'll pepper every lesson with musician's stories, life on the road stories, or whatever fun anecdote comes to mind. He'll never look at the clock or force anything, he lets the student decide what to learn with guidance when needed. What I like the most is that he leads with the truth and has very clear values that I respect. I consider him a dear friend even though I haven't met him in person and known him less than a year.

Marcelo Berestovoy: A Guiding Light to Guitar Mastery

In the vast universe of professional guitar players and instructors, every once in a while, we come across a shining star who not only possesses exceptional talent but also the rare gift of translating the intricacies of music into digestible lessons. Marcelo Berestovoy is that star. Beyond just being an extraordinary guitarist, what makes Marcelo truly stand out IMHO is his capability as an instructor. While many artists excel in their craft, few can teach with the same finesse they play. Marcelo, however, is an exception. Not only have I had the good fortune of studying under Marcelo but, I constantly find new motivation after listening to his technical prowess. I love how he is able to make complex concepts seem approachable. Whether it’s through written articles or online lessons, Marcelo’s instruction is a treasure trove for both budding and seasoned guitarists. Truefire is fortunate to have Marcelo instruct their students, and it's exciting to see him continuing his instructional journey here on TrueFire. It's no exaggeration to say that he's one of the platform's crown jewels. Marcelo Berestovoy isn't just a musician; he is a beacon for all aspiring guitarists. His story, skills, and soulful approach make him not just an amazing guitar teacher but a living legend in the world of music in my opinion.
