Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: My musical background goes beyond just playing guitar: I have years of experience teaching students, from beginners to advanced, as well as performing. I also have studied music in college, and took classical piano lessons from childhood. I seem to have a way to make students comfortable right away, and to be able to relate to their musical hopes and desires. There is tremendous pleasure to be had from watching a hopeful beginning student develop into an accomplished and confident player!

I have had guitar lessons with John Lewis for two months now and I have to say without a doubt, he has exceeded my expectations in every way. Not only is he a very talented musician, he also possesses a rare talent for communicating and teaching guitar and musical concepts that are sometimes hard to grasp. He is patient, kind, encouraging, inspirational, and very creative in his teaching style. He knows how to judge exactly how much information I can handle at one time and I never leave feeling overwhelmed. He always makes the lessons interesting, challenging, and FUN! I am so grateful to have found this wonderful teacher and I highly recommend him to anyone from beginner to advanced. He truly is the Best of the Best!!!

John is an entertaining and charismatic instructor. He is flexible with schedules and has a gentle, forgiving nature when you are working one-on-one during sessions. His teaching style is fun and adaptive based on what the student wants to learn. If you want to switch gears in the middle of a session because you are frustrated with a complex lick or technique, John quickly figures out an exercise for you to practice to help overcome that difficulty, then shifts to focus on something else that gets you out of the rut of frustration. He's a great teacher with a lot of good stories and impressive set of chops on guitar. *BONUS* He's a classically trained pianist as well — 2 instructors in 1!

John was very accomodating when I had to cancel my first lesson twice. He tailored the lessons specifically to the gaps in my skills and made sure I was always seeing real results along the way.
