"Mark came in to my life in a time in where I really needed it. I was already taking lessons with a teacher and stopped because the teacher didn’t really teach me anything that pertained to my interest. Mark was not able to reinvigorate my interest but help to me excel at guitar like I never thought before. I now am one of the most skilled musicians in my Jazz band and I truly have Mark to thank for that.
