I began lessons with Lou with an already decent ability to play guitar. Though he significantly improved my technical mastery of the instrument, more importantly, he unveiled the creative elements to playing guitar that were previously mysterious and unattainable to me. As a musician, Lou posses a unique brand of creativity that is the trademark of a truly unfettered artist, and as a teacher, he posses the even more unique ability to teach this to his students.
