Introduction: Learn to play the music that you want to play! I am an experienced, professional guitar instructor offering lessons in a supportive and friendly environment. I show patience with the beginners who are just starting out, and I push intermediate players who need some inspiration to take "to the next level." I have strong references and reasonable rates. My lessons are scheduled on a month-to-month basis, on a day and time convenient for you. My students have regular opportunities to participate in recitals and performances in a non-threatening setting. I welcome ages 8 to 108. I teach from 2 locations: one that is centrally located to the communities of San Elijo Hills, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Vista, and Encinitas; the other location is in Oceanside. Contact me to set up a free introductory lesson today! Lesson Topics Include (And Not Limited To): Chords, Scales, The Language of Music, Moveable Guitar Shapes, Modes of the Major Scale, Ear Training, Finger Picking, Improvisation, Arpeggios, Music Theory, Reading Music, Tabs, Charts, Writing Music, Playing Rock, Blues, Folk, Country, Reggae, Harmony, Rhythm Playing, Lead Guitar, ETC.

My son and I both have taken lessons with John for the past four years. It is remarkable how much we both have progressed in our styles and abilities. John provides a great learning environment and his approach to teaching is outstanding. He rocks it live as well! I highly recommend him for teaching students from 13 to 42!

Excellent first lesson. Very impressed. Got right into the pieces that were missing in my existing skill set.

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I help my clients set and reach their musical goals! Sometimes that is to be able to play their favorite song, or entertain some friends at the neighborhood picnic; sometimes they need help writing a song for their boyfriend, or mastering a difficult chord progression; sometimes they need help understanding a piece of music theory; sometimes they need help gaining confidence to get up on a stage and play with a band. Whatever their goal or goals are, my job is to help my clients find success!
