"When I found Tom Hess, I knew this is the guy! Just going through the Evaluation Form with all the questions, digging deeper and deeper into my goals, my core problems and all - no teacher has ever done this with me before - I felt right away that this is the guy. The level I was at before I took lessons with Tom Hess was that I could play pretty fast, I could play sloppy and I knew nothing about music theory, so I was kind of unbalanced. I wanted to even that out and Tom Hess helped me not only to even it out but also to exceed my expectations. Now I'm playing at a level that I didn't expect I ever could play. I'm very happy with that!"

"I like learning from Tom Hess because of the high degree of results that he's getting for his students. I'm constantly inspired by working with him and watching the progress of other students. So many people have been taken from knowing very little about guitar to being able to perform at a very high degree, in some cases the virtuoso level, and Tom has moved them to that end goal in this really deliberate, well-understood way. Tom Hess knows what he's doing."

- Brandon Reinhart (United States of America)

"If it wasn't for Tom's strategies, I would never have been able to pursue a full career in music. I always wanted to play guitar on a very high level, but I always doubted my abilities. You need a teacher who is telling you that you are able to do that and at the same time giving you the tools to actually accomplish those high levels. Tom's lessons are excellent, because Tom always brings something fresh, every time Tom blows your mind with a new lesson. You can never learn this stuff on your own, it's impossible, because you don't know what you don't know."
