“Working with Ponch in the studio is an incredible experience. Not only is he one of the most technically gifted guitarists I have ever worked with, his diversity of style, feel for arranging and overall musical insight is incredible. He doesn’t settle for anything less than amazing, and all that while being remarkably humble, and fun to be around. From jingle work to sessions in a variety of styles, Ponch is a “go to” guy that will never disappoint!”

“What can I say about Ponch? His grasp and explanation of music and scales has changed my whole way of looking at music, melodies, and soloing. It’s more than technical knowledge, it’s a whole new philosophy. His clinic made everything easier, yet gave me more options. All of this knowledge and philosphy… and it’s packed into one of the nicest, most patient, kindest hearted packages. Thanks, Ponch. Now I have to go practice.”

“The first thing I noticed was man, Ponch really sucks at guitar… no lol just kidding buddy. I thought it was a great time! I was sitting a bit far back and without my glasses (my eyes are getting pretty shitty these days) so I couldn’t see everything you were doing, but the first piece Phoenix was freakin awesome!! The one thing I really noticed was towards the end everyone was really into it by the end and it just seemed as if the whole room had been changed by the music, as if all the evil was just gone and the room was just filled with good atmosphere from the music. That’s one of the things I like about music and how you approach it, especially how you were telling me to listen to each note and appreciate each note. But other than that, it really sucked… no hahaha! just kidding man! Glad you made it back to Indonesia!”

“Hello master ponch!!! Ponch is My master at MSI music school.. He’s the BEST and the COOLEST teacher.. so patient, when I couldn’t understand the  lesson he still teached me patiently, there’s no need for questioning his guitar skill.. and the most thing I like about  Ponch is he doesn’t see me as his student only, but as his friend or his Brother (maybe :D) . Thanks Ponch.. lucky to have teacher like you.”

“ Thanks for the seminar and CD! Really enjoyed both. Interesting that you did all the instruments on the CD.”
