Berkeley-based professional guitar player now accepting students! I have 20 years of teaching and performing experience, previously in Chicago, and now all over the Bay Area. I graduated with honors from the Northern Illinois University jazz guitar program, and am well-versed in rock, pop, jazz, heavy metal, blues, folk, funk, and more. Until COVID, I was on the road with the long-tenured Oakland-based Celtic Rock band Tempest, among other smaller projects, and I have a more complete resume on my website. Lessons offered in my studio in North Berkeley. Availability currently Mondays and Wednesdays. $60 per 30 minutes, $100 for an hourSee more

Bernie L. says, "Jaime referred me to a teacher on her team, and I had a good trial lesson with Emily. We then decided to schedule a 1st lesson 2 weeks later and put it on Google Meet (it was a remote lesson). When the time came, I waited 15 min on the Google Meet and the teacher never showed up. I sent an email and 4 days later I still haven't heard back. I also can no longer reach out to Jaime via the message thread we have on Thumbtack nor send her a message as a "new client". Not sure what happened, but the experience overall was not good. Jaime was very helpful and responsive and reached out to address the issue, and combine that with the good trial lesson, I'm ok with raising the review to 4 out of 5 stars (on my own volition). Thanks again Jaime!"See more
