Shu is just all around an awesome musician, flexible teacher and friendly person. He has been teaching me the bass for over a year and I have been able to play with a band!! He can play anything from blues to rock and everything in between. I have had lessons with other teachers but Shu is the first person I felt comfortable and relaxed with. He just knows his stuff and can teach it a way that's easy, fun and relaxed.

In 2014 I put out my album, Puzzle Pieces. Shu produced it. That has been one of the best music projects I have done as of yet. The instruments that he played, and the work that he did on it was great. And when he recorded my parts he made me feel real comfortable and worked with me very well. Shu is like a music mentor to me. With all of the music experience he has, I am always learning from him. To me he is one of the best.

I have many experiences using Shu for my sessions and he never disappointed me in studios. Especially the song has Rock taste, he is just a serious killer!

I have known and worked with Shu for over 10 years. In all that time whenever I bring him in for a project, whether it's live, studio, or to teach - it's always that much better for him being a part. As a guitarist, bassist, writer and just as an overall great person - I can't recommend him enough and feel incredibly lucky to be able to work with him.

Shu has given several concerts, both solo and as a guest artist for our organization. All have been well attended and extremely enjoyable! Would recommend him highly both for rock and acoustic music. Consummate musician!
