 | "It's a refreshing break. I appreciate Jim's ability to adjust to my situation whether I practiced or not. He caters the lessons to my needs. I always get something out of lessons." -- Bob Tennant |
 | "Jim is so encouraging and patient while navigating the lesson through all the complexities and beauty of the guitar. One does not have to have a musical background to study with Jim. The Guitar Chicago style of teaching allows the student to have a practical learning experience first. I highly recommend Jim Lenger and Guitar Chicago." -- Catherine Zukowski |
 | "As a suburban commuter to my job in the loop, finding Jim has made it possible to continue my interest in learning guitar. He has been flexible and accommodating in rearranging lessons based on my schedule. Also, I like Jim's laid back, yet cerebral, teaching style." -- Robert Bartl |
 | "I look forward to lessons. You don't have to start out with songs like 'Mary had a little lamb' (although you can), you can pick what you want to play." -- Will Hylton |
 | "I enjoy playing the guitar in my retirement. It's fun going from teacher to student." -- Pete Burkey |

 | "I like to learn about guitar. It is fun to use that to write my own songs!" -- Michelle Ott |
 | "Playing guitar during the work day is hard to beat. I shut down my email,
walk down the street, grab a pick and start playing. Jim's approach to
teaching is clever, he keeps things at an appropriate pace and he sets the
lesson plan according to what is most important to the student. His
knowledge and talent runs deep, and he's not a bad guy to hang out with in
the middle of the day." -- Scott Corley |
 | "Jim makes the guitar fun to play, but I also learn many things about how to play it." -- Sean Horner |
 | "I like Jim's program. Even though I have a busy schedule there is plenty of fun things to learn on guitar." -- Taylor Webb |
