Guitar Center Reno 6663 S. Virginia St. Reno, NV
Jack Reynolds is a graduate of the University of Hartford, where he studied Acoustical Engineering, Jazz Performance, and Music Studies. Teaching both Upright and Electric Bass, he specializes in Rock, Jazz, and Music Theory instruction. Jack has performed professionally for over 20 years, and taught lessons with Guitar Center since 2017. Some of his favorite musicians are Jaco Pastorius, Andrew Bird and John Paul Jones. The first song he ever learned may or may not have been Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, but that song still inspires inspiration and imagination in him to this day, despite being a simple melody. "I love playing music because it connects both the musicians involved, and the audience, in a way that nothing else we do as humans can. I love to share my knowledge of music with others in the hopes that they might also make these connections and share the wonderful togetherness of music." -Jack-

I currently am in a metal/progressive rock band. i love many genres of music, from Rock to Americana. I have studied under some very successful bass players, and continue to do so, as the teacher should always also remain a student.

Michael Vick

Guitar Center Reno 6663 S. Virginia St. Reno, NV
My name is Michael and I have been playing bass for a few years. I grew up in Sacramento and went to Rio Americano High School. When I was in seventh grade I was put into an advanced band having never touched an instrument in my life. Starting on saxophone, I really enjoyed classical music. I was able to learn the Glazunov Concertos at one point and it was a lot of fun. A year or so later, I fell out of favor for it when all the music I grew up listening to was not very playable on saxophone and decided to switch to bass. I fell in love with the instrument and immediately started learning Metallica, Nirvana, etc. A few months after I started picking up its cousin the double bass and learned to play jazz so I can play with all of my talented friends out in the real world. I quickly got accustomed to it and started leading my own bands. I really wanted to make a difference by the time I graduated so I threw myself into my High School music program. I was leading bands there and did as much as I could to make it amazing as I knew it could be. By the time I graduated I won multiple MVP awards for my work along with the Directors award and the Patrick S. Gilmore award. By then I knew I wanted music to be the rest of my life so I moved to Reno and am now an Undergraduate at UNR learning as much as I can to move on and play music forever in any way I can.

Frequently Asked Questions
Each instructor customizes lessons to ensure you are learning what you like and having fun. Your instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week, plus give you exercises or easy songs to play to keep you learning at home.
Learning an instrument is an enriching and rewarding experience that creates lifelong benefits, including increased self-esteem and the boosting of memory. Additionally, benefits for school-age individuals can include improved coordination, the expanding of social skills, and higher scores in math, reading and language.
30-minute lessons allow young or beginner students to learn the basics of the instrument and start playing songs. 60-minute lessons are ideal for more advanced students looking to progress faster and focus on the finer points of technique.
This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing daily, while advanced students can practice for an hour or more each day in between lessons.
Our flexible curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed.
Our Lessons staff will work with you to determine your current skill level, stylistic interest and ambitions. We'll then help you choose an instructor who best suits your style and goals. If at any point, you'd like to change instructors, let us know. Our weekly monitoring of progress and wide-ranging curriculum means you can switch to any of our qualified instructors, or another instrument, without missing a beat.
