Just an update on the situation. I didn't get the chance to learn from Beez. His weekend lessons are filled and left with only weekdays afternoon. I can't since I work full time. He did suggest some other teachers and said I could try to ask him later on if he has slots for weekends. Better luck next time for me. By the way, he did a great job fixing my pickup. I did get another reputable guitar teacher that he recommended with a reasonable rate too. So I guess it works out in the end.
