A guitarist with a creative style.
A phenomenal guitarist because he shows a variety to be able to go from creating guitar solos with an amazing feeling to showing you guitar rhythms that are enjoyable and fun to learn to play. Matthieu Brandt is not only a very good guitarist but also an excellent teacher, the organization of his lessons shows you an uninterrupted learning. Regardless of your level, it is a good idea to review the material Matthieu can provide you with, as it contains key concepts that then increase in difficulty to help you improve.

Matthieu - A true Ace
I purchased the annual subscription solely on the strength of Matt's courses. A true gem of an instructor and player!

Exactly the right pace
Finally a lesson that gets right to work and is all meat and no filler. Some lessons drag on at a snails pace and put the student to sleep. Matthieu dives right in and explains exactly what you need to know and how to workaround the tough spots. Excellent course, I hope there are more modern banjo courses coming from Matthieu.
