Testimonials

What my students say

  • Let me try to explain why Thiago is such an absolute diamond - besides being a top-tier guitarist and songwriter. Many top-flight pros are not great teachers. Thiago, by contrast, is an incredible teacher, who customizes his lessons for his students, and gives incredible insights quickly and easily.
    Andrew WElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • Thiago is an excellent guitarist. It is awesome to learn from someone who plays at the top level and knows the guitar inside and out. After my lesson with him I am inspired and he left me with plenty to work with as well as several new and useful techniques I had never heard of before. I gained more in my hour with him than a month on my own.
    Gerald BElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • I could never tremolo pick. I was learning from another teacher for 1.5 years, and he couldn't teach me to do it. We barely did anything at lessons, and within an hour Thiago got me tremolo picking. I still can't believe I'm doing it.
    Adam RobertsElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • Thiago is a great instructor - I would give him 6 stars if I could. Thiago has really helped me improve my technique and phrasing. Lessons are always well prepared and cover a combination of past topics and things I'm interested in working on. Each lesson comes with a guitar pro file and backing tracks, so it's easy for me to continue to work on.
    Chris MillerElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • With Thiago’s help I was able to quickly correct many bad habits after years of self-study. He helped me build the foundations I was missing and teach me what I needed to know in order to continue building both technical and musical skills as a guitar player. His lessons were carefully tailored to challenge my weak spots while also being great fun.
    Valdemar ErlingssonElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • Taking a masterclass from Thiago taught me a plethora of new techniques and concepts that expanded my musical vocabulary and increased my creative capabilities on the instrument. Years later I still find myself working through the material I was taught and applying it in various musical settings!
    Jake Biller - USAElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • Not only is Thiago a tremendous player, he is also a top-notch teacher! He is able to break down and explain complex, technical concepts, making them incredibly easy to grasp and apply in your playing right away.
    Tabrez KhanElectric Guitar & Guitar
  • When I started taking guitar lessons with Thiago, my technique improved significantly in a short amount of time. His exercises helped me increase my speed tremendously, and I became much more confident playing in front of other people. My improvisation skills also improved noticeably right from the start.
