Justin is great!! As a complete beginner to the guitar, he’s helped make learning fun and enjoyable! I am so excited about the guitar and that Justin is teaching me, he has already taught me how to play a couple of my favorite songs!

Justin’s been doing an amazing job teaching me over the last month. He’s very patient and his experience shows through both his lessons and “homework.” I’ve noticed many improvements in my playing that has encouraged me to play all the time! I couldn’t recommend him more, check him out you won’t regret it.

As a singer-songwriter, I’ve always had some knowledge of the guitar to write songs, but taking lessons with Justin has helped me to understand the guitar as an instrument a lot more deepl

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI approach the first lesson by connecting with the student on a personal level and understanding their goals in playing the guitar and what music they enjoy. I give a rundown of guitar basics and teach basic technique with picking, fretting, and strumming in the first lesson. I always focusing on making learning music fun!
Lesson 11+Introduce music theory concepts and more advanced techniques and rhythms. Tailor lessons to students desires as a player and have fun!
Lesson 4-10Introduce more chords and songs to widen the students chordal ability.
Introduce riffs, the pentatonic scale, and picking to improve single-note playing.
Lesson 2-3We balance repetition and introducing new material to create momentum and confidence. I teach basic chords and give the student a song to practice.
What you need to bringBring your guitar and a growth mindset :)
What I can bringI have extra acoustic & electric guitars students can use, although I encourage students to bring their own instrument.
