Vez Guitar Academy

I was curious and walked in during the Halloween street fair. I was impressed with the guitar selection and the repair shop towards the back. Looks to me if you are into guitars I'm sure you will find what you are looking for at this store.

Just picked up my partscaster build from Dave Vez. I brought a bunch of pieces to Dave and he threw in a few with an amazing heavenly white paint job all for a reasonable price. The best part, Dave let me make payments as he took his time working on it. Thanks Dave and son, and Mindy for the awesome work and great customer service. I'll be back for more.

I needed an unreasonably fast turnaround time on a tune up for a holiday present. and David somehow delivered ahead of schedule!? Incredible. Everyone at Vez was thoughtful, courteous, and informative. 100/10

Took my 1996 Jackson warrior to Vez guitar. David did an incredible job with it and it plays phenomenal! He was very reasonable with the price as well. Mindy was phenomenal and kept me informed of what was happening. I will definitely take other guitars I own to Vez guitar, specially because the shop is local to me as well.

I needed a guitar setup for a fender squire strat that I've had for over 30 years. I turned it into a partscaster because the old neck was just so worn out and my kid didn't take care of the guitar, so I took it back into my possession. Dave was knowledgeable and a great technician and ran the whole gamut of fret work, graphite nut installation, polish, filing, and neck alignment.

The only minor complaint I would have is that this business is small and Dave is a very busy guy. Wait times for work to be done are a tad long but the wait is worth it. Hours of operation are a minor inconvenience but totally understandable as this is only a 2 person operation. I would recommend this place for guitar tech needs.

They are selling Cordoba classic guitars at good price. Come check them out.

David is very good with kids. My daughter had a few guitar teachers before coming to Vez Guitar. This is the first time she really wanted to come to the class and looking forward for the next lesson. I was very surprised that she even spent time to practice at home : I will have my son to start taking lessons from Vez guitar when he can sit still for more than 3 mins.

I have been coming to vez guitar for some months. Before I had no confidence of my own guitar playing abilities.after I came to vez. Dave not only helped me with guitar playing abilities but also helped to build up my confidence and I still have a long way to go. I would recommend others to come here.

Most of David Chavez's students will tell you, this guy is hilarious, patient, and extremely talented; if you pull me aside and ask how do I like being a student at Vez Guitar Academy, well I would say I am very happy my friend stumbled across Dave's ad on the paper one summer day, waved it over my face and called the number herself because I refused to call myself.

I hadn't intend on getting lessons, let alone keep paying for over a year of private lessons, but Vez Guitar Academy is currently a permanent stay on my schedule and I have enjoyed every moment of learning experience under Dave's mentoring and teaching. The moment I actually and finally spoke to Dave on the phone I thought "yeah go book an appointment" and we started from there.

It was a rought start for me. I had very miniscule exposure to music theory but love all sorts of genre it has to offer. I listen to most, from the sad melodies of country to the imaginative improvisations of jazz. I also have a crazy schedule and that often leaves little to no time for practice. Dave will push to get some practice in, because that is the only way to get the basics under your belt, but he understands that everyone has different lifestyles and schedules.

As for his style of teaching, he will always give you more than you think you can handle, but in the end, like I had discovered, it all made sense after a few more sessions. Never forget to ask questions and ask how to improve. Just like any other things in life, your results will depend on how much time and effort you put in yourself. During my own sessions, I'd struggle and get frustrated, but Dave's ok with that.

Get your frustrations out, ask questions, ask for suggestions and Dave will patiently point out what you can do better and suddenly after a few more tries, it clicks, if doesn't then he tells you to keep trying. So if you are looking to find a place that will guide you to become an amazing guitar player, you have found the right place and teacher for an amazing price too.
