Excellence With a Smile
I've bought several courses of Robbie because I was attracted by his beautiful playing. But, luckily, I found he is also an excellent teacher, explaining how to do what he does patiently, clearly and thoroughly, and always with a smile. His lessons are easy to understand and he doesn't leave out anything and his explanations of the way music works on the guitar are enlightening. The lessons are extra enjoyable because you get to hear Robbie play, and he's good. . . . . . . . . . .

Robbie Calvo - my new favorite instructor
Robbie’s lessons are clear, interesting, and very thorough. He presents a nice blend of theory and technique into some really cool sounding exercises, licks, and progressions. I love that he also tells how he thinks about what he plays and how he approaches it musically. Always a lot of food for thought. And just seems like a super nice guy you’d want to hang around with.

Exceptional Educator
Robbie Calvo is my favourite TrueFire teacher. Not only do I love his playing and musical ideas, but I really appreciate the way Robbie breaks down each lesson, step-by-step, talks about notes and numbers as well as frets and strings. He doesn't talk down to us, but his lessons are easy to follow and inspiring. An exceptional musician and instructor.
