Nena is an incredible instructor. She was so patient. She tailored the class to us and what we wanted to learn. She gave us tips and tricks on how to play songs we wanted at whatever level we are at, and gave play-throughs at the end so that we can to back and play along when we are ready. I never felt uncomfo or inexperienced, and I always felt encouraged. Nena offered to keep up with us and connected with us after class so that we can reach out anytime! This class has really been an invaluable part of my guitar playing journey and I hope to take another when I am ready.

Nena’s classes were awesome!! I learned a lot of new songs that I always wanted to learn and being able to ask her questions was great! It was so nice to also meet other Swiftes from around the world! She explains everything so well that it makes it very easy to learn.

This was my very first guitar class ever, and I think Nena did a fantastic job teaching us. She was patient with us and made sure we were all following before proceeding. She also allowed us to vote on the songs that we wanted to learn and went above and beyond to give us extra tabs to practice outside of class.

Nena is a great teacher. I love the pace that she teaches at. We're able to get through a lot of songs in a short time. I also think the tabs she posts are very helpful and easy to understand. The only thing I would ask for in the future is for tabs to be posted a day or so early so that we can take a peek/try them out before class.

only thing I would like is time stamps for the videos of where each song was. This class was a great addition to my guitar playing journey and gave me a lot of things to work on! always enjoy nenas tutorials.
