Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My service stands out from the rest by being the most unique. I can teach students methods, techniques, and styles as well as a handful of tricks that no other guitar teacher in the area can teach. I work very well with little kids and older adults from beginner to advanced. I am also a composer of many types of music. I love everything about being a guitar player and teacher but the part that I love most is seeing all of the progress my students make by taking lessons from me. I know that if they are my student they will without a doubt develop a true foundation of theory and songs with proper right and left hand technique. These days you can't just be a song guy or a theory guy, you need to be both and I teach that from day one which is a ton of fun for everybody.

I was so nervous because I am a true beginner. James made me feel so comfortable and made my first lesson fun and I learned so much. He is very affordable. It was a full hour of lessons. I'm 51 yrs. old and i am so excited that i am learning to play guitar. It's never to late to start and James in patient and not to mention an amazing guitar player! I am referring James to everyone I know. Thank you!

When I started, I told James I could "play guitar a little" with one section of a song I learned from my friend "Smoke on the water". Actually, I was taught to play it was one string and my thumb! James graciously rebooted my skills with the basics about rhythm and music and started me off with some easy chords, pick and strumming techniques, and using all my fingers. By the end of the first lesson, I could already have some fun with the small jams he taught me. After 9 lessons, I was jammin and loving the guitar. I was able to figure songs out and make up new rifs on my own. James is an excellent teacher and I highly recommend him.
