Introduction: I graduated from Berklee College of Music in 2016 with a dual degree in Performance, Songwriting and Music Production. In addition, I was awarded the Latin American scholarship after my audition to get into Berklee. Prior to my music studies, I earned a degree in Business back home in Lima University in Lima-Peru. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and teaching private lessons for about 14 years now. When it comes to guitar lessons, the styles I focus on are classical, rock, blues, pop, jazz, folk and fusion. I also teach songwriting, production and mixing. I am currently teaching at a music school called "Musicians' Playground" and playing live with my band "Nodus," along with assisting for other people's projects. I enjoy teaching and helping students grow musically. I feel music is not only meant to be reproduced, but understood and felt, which is what I express each lesson. One of my favorite things, is the fact that I feel teachers learn as much as the students during the lesson.

I highly recommend Jaime as a guitar instructor for any level. From day one he is invested in your development and shares his expertise openly from tips on technique to theory. Having picked up the guitar a few months back I was hitting a plateau and Jaime helped me break out of my rut. Giving me a roadmap to follow made for more effective practice and accelerated my progress. Staying connected throughout the week he encourages recordings of your practice between lessons keeping you on track. He is always willing to tackle any song or calmly explain theory over and over until it finally begins to sink in! A great instructor as well as a kind, patient and thoughtful person. Highly recommend!

Jamie taught my daughter Savannah guitar lessons. She learned a lot and was very impressed with his skills and way of teaching. He was attentive and detailed. I have to say she is so much sharper and experienced due to the care and professionalism he gave. I give him 5 stars. I would give him 10 if they offered it in this page. You will not be disappointed if you hire him. Thank you Jamie for such a great experience for my daughter! Maria Sells

Jaime is an excellent teacher. I'll be honest, when I first heard of online guitar lessons I was a bit skeptical but after one lesson, all of that went away. He is a great teacher, calm, professional and adaptable to the needs of the learner. I would 100% recommend him to anyone and have been encouraging my friends to use his services.

I’ve been taking lessons with Jaime for several months now, and I can confidently say he’s a fantastic teacher. As a self-taught guitarist with 10-15 years of experience, most of my playing had been unstructured—noodling around and learning occasional songs (only to forget them later). However, I recently decided to elevate my abilities to a more sophisticated level, and that’s when I met Jaime. Jaime’s teaching approach has been invaluable. He focuses on proper technique, helping to correct my bad habits and show how to stay relaxed while building speed. Additionally, he emphasizes learning new songs by ear and through repetition—the challenging aspects of guitar playing that truly require a professional guide. Even in just a few short months, I’ve noticed significant improvements across the board. From how I hold the guitar, to my warm-up routines and practice structure, everything has evolved. What sets Jaime apart is his commitment to accountability. Each week, he ensures I continue to progress and refine my skills. I’m confident that sticking with Jaime is the right choice for my musical journey. He’s exactly what I needed to break free from my self-taught rut. If you’re looking to step up your guitar skills, I highly recommend Jaime.
