“I heartily recommend Jim Bachman at Bachman’s Music for guitar lessons. I’m a senior, recently retired, relocated from the East Coast to CA. With my particular interest in classical guitar music, I had a difficult time finding a suitable instructor. Recently, my friend Pat Monson strongly recommended Jim Bachman. Pat had studied guitar under Jim Bachman at CalPoly and Jim also performed at Pat’s wedding. I couldn’t be more pleased.
Jim is an excellent instructor who stresses proper technique but is not over-bearing. He is a very good communicator who explains things very clearly as well as demonstrating how it’s done. At the same time, he is very personable and humorous, and makes playing classical guitar fun. Of course, as a professional instructor he is proficient across a wide variety of music genres. I have heard him playing other music, also very beautifully.
Jim is also very accommodating, inviting my husband to sit in his studio during my 1 hr. lesson instead waiting in the car.
We live in Trilogy (in Nipomo) and my husband doesn’t complain about the 45-50 minute trip to Jim’s studio because Jim’s excellent teaching technique is worth the trip.
In sum, on a scale of 10, I would rate Jim Bachman definitely “10” and strongly recommend him for guitar lessons.“
