Introduction: Hello, thanks for checking out Sam Shinnick's Guitar Studio! Here I provide lessons for Guitar, Ukulele, bass, and beginner piano as well as help with Music Theory, Jazz Theory, and Songwriting/Composing. Offering remote lessons primarily, but in-person options are available if you are located near me. I have over a decade of experience teaching hundreds of students of many ages and experiences, from 4 to 80 and beginner to advanced. I'd love to help you in your musical journey to learn the songs and styles YOU would like to play ☺️🎸
I received a Master's Degree in Studio Guitar from University of Southern California and a Bachelor's in Music (Jazz Studies) from San Jose State. Personally I specialize in indie, alternative rock, funk, fusion, and jazz. I have a deep love for all kinds of music, from hip hop to metal to jazz, and love getting to hear new genres and teaching students from different musical backgrounds. Whatever music you love, let's get started!
