Learn What You Want Guitar & Music Lessons

Danny is a lovely teacher and clearly very passionate about music. I liked that, at the end of each lesson, he records a video about everything that was covered in the session for reference when you leave the class. It is immensely helpful. He also assisted in me finding the right guitar and amp for what I wanted to learn to play. He also focuses on making sure you do the basics right so that you don't have to re-learn anything in the future.highly recommended!

After being away from guitar for so many years, I was very careful about finding a new guitar teacher. After spending just the first session with Danny, I knew that I would learn so much from him. It's been a term now yet he's helped become a much better guitarist, I've absolutely enjoyed every session with him. Not only is he a great teacher with vast experience in the studio, but also a fantastic guy who encourages each of his students to find and express their own sound. I can't recommend him enough.

Great teacher. Good energy. Passionate about the individual and focuses on what they need and where they are at.
Takes his time to make sure it’s right before moving on. Thorough and honest approach and genuinely wants you to play well. No shortcuts. Highly recommend

Danny is a really caring an enthusiastic instructor. Have been a student for over a year now. Am excited to continue guitar lessons and enhance my skills further. Would highly recommend.

Danny taught me how to slap the bass. He has an obvious wealth of knowledge, and experience in the music industry. Music aside he is just a good bloke, I reckon he would be great to have a beer with.

A great experience to be able to learn your instrument in a great environment to learn the best you can!

I have loved learning the guitar under the guidance of Learn What You Want Music & Guitar Lessons. Danny makes the sessions so much fun and engaging. His knowledge is second to none and will help you tackle any task if its from learning your favorite song or tacking music theory. His studio has the best feel and just makes you feel so comfortable. Highly recommend!

Danny is one of the greatest people I’ve met.
He is a great teacher and mentor. He helped pull me out of some dark times I was having and helped me heal through the music we were making.

Danny is a friend for life and I will be seeing him very shortly.
Anyone wanting to learn music or develop and evolve your existing skills I would highly recommend Learn What you Want.

Danny Lopez is an awesome teacher! Super relaxed and friendly! You can tell he actually cares about you and your learning and really loves doing what he does. He goes the extra mile after each lesson to create 15 to 20 minute videos tailored specifically to what was covered during each lesson. He has ignited a huge passion in guitar for me!
I'd highly recommend him!

His knowledge of guitar & teaching style is of the highest level (he won't disappoint).

What I really loved was the tutorial videos he sent me of the lesson I just had with him.

If I needed help with practicing I would all ways refer to the videos.

I recommend that you have 1 lesson with him and go from there.

Dan is probably one of the most enthusiastic and committed teachers I’ve worked with. You can see he wants every student he works with to shine. Bringing out their best. Very creative and passionate with his teaching style and at the same time so easy to work with. He takes the time to listen to and establish individual goals/desires on the musical journey and manages to keep that at the forefront when adding his wealth of experience resulting in a win win for the student. Really encouraged and very enthusiastic about continuing the development of my personal musical journey. My daughter also attends, it has built her confidence and she is challenging herself by engaging more in singing opportunities that are presenting themselves as well as trying a new instrument to compliment that. Thanks Dan thanks for being so flexible with us, we are enjoying the journey.

Danny is a great teacher and his ability to combine guitar and singing lessons along with his expert musicianship has proved invaluable in developing my skills.

As a 'late starter' to guitar lessons, I was a little nervous about how my guitar journey would go. I could not have found a better teacher! Danny has been supportive, encouraging, and an inspiration - I enjoy not only the learning and playing but also the dialogue and schooling in all things music during my weekly session. It's a whole new world for me, and I am loving it!
Thanks Danny!

Danny taught me from scratch and worked on a weekly basis one on one to develop and bring the best out of me as a kid who really needed an outlet. He helped source a great sounding acoustic guitar that works beautifully for my style of guitar playing at a budget that suited my needs.
He not only taught me to play country style guitar, but he also inspired me to write my own songs and produced a few tunes with me.   I have since recorded my own songs and played a number of live gigs in front of large audiences.
Since working with Danny for a number of years, we have become great mates and I keep in touch with him whenever I'm passing through Melbourne. I highly recommend Danny as a guitar teacher and music producer.

I could spend my whole paid session just watching and listening to Danny play. His musical knowledge and execution is amazing - he can rip out even the most obscure piece of guitar note for note on call. As a late learner, Danny gave me the ability to enjoy guitar straight away. His ability to teach in 'bite-sized' pieces lead to me playing solos and intros of songs I love within weeks. This early 'success' was pivotal in giving me the determination to break through the next 'wall'. Cheers Danny - great gig at my wedding too mate, you rocked it! YEAH2000!

Danny provides fantastic and really approachable guitar lessons that are catered to each individual's music preferences and proficiency. He gives really great end-of-session videos to cover lesson content, as well as a depth of musical knowledge. Overall learning with Danny has been a great experience and I would recommend it to any potential learners:)

My name is Leo Savva and I love writing lyrics.
About 7years ago I started playing golf and I began loving it.
So I decided to write a song about golf.
After a lot of hard work and a few sleepless nights I finally finished something that I thought with the right music added to the lyrics this song could even hit the top.
I wrote the lyrics and I was looking for a good musician.
I had four recommendations at different times from some friends for some good musicians but even though they tried to help me out it wasn’t what I expected and wanted for my lyrics.
But like they say when one door shuts another one opens in my case four doors closed before I met Danny.
Danny Lopez a top musician with unlimited talent.
With an advice from my music lawyer I started ringing music schools in the south eastern Suburbs pretending that I wanted to learn playing the guitar and that’s how I met Danny Lopez.
I like him from the very first time when I spoke to him on the phone.
Danny is not just a great musician he is also a gentleman.
With his big talent and his love for music he added the best music to my lyrics and I reckon this song once released will hit the top spot.
For me Danny Lopez is one of the best musicians in the country and I give him ten out of ten.
Thanks very much Danny

Danny is hands-down the best guitar teacher I’ve had! His patience and ability to determine your playing level and choose things to match are spot on, as well as helping to show where you can improve, what you’re doing well, and any nuances you may be missing.

As well as that, Danny makes a video summarising everything done in the lesson so you can take it home and replay!

I can highly recommend Danny to any budding or advanced guitarists out there. Looking forward to 2020!

I’ve been a student at learn what you want for 6 years now and I have loved every minute in the studio with Danny! Danny is a great teacher and mentor and has helped me develop my singing and guitar skills to help me be the artist I am today. I would highly recommend learn what you want studios to anyone looking to develop as a artist, Danny will help you shine.

I have written and co written several songs with Danny. His vision, musical ability and attention to detail is outstanding. Highly recommend his work
