"Matt Hurt has been teaching me music theory and hard riffs to play on my Fender Jazz Bass for about eighteen months now, and it has been great. I suffered an extremely severe traumatic brain injury with intraventricular haemmhorage, also had contactures in my left hand and have had five surgeries on it and this adds to the difficulties yet Matt is Very Patient and understanding" Matt, Google review |
