“If you’re searching for a teacher who specializes in guitar accompaniment in DADGAD tuning, look no further. What makes Eric McDonald such a terrific teacher is his holistic approach: you’ll walk away from each lesson with a balanced mix of practical exercises and a sense of encouragement and guidance for the road ahead. Eric pays close attention to the individual student’s learning style and development. This is not a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but a truly collaborative experience.”

“The opportunity to study octave mandolin with Eric McDonald is a privilege. He is encouraging, patient and a clear communicator of technique and theory. He brings outstanding musicianship, musical creativity, and a comprehensive pedagogy to our studies. As his student I have advanced from beginner to session ready musician.”
