About

I offer private 1 on 1 instruction for all levels and stylistic expressions of the guitar. I also offer beginning to intermediate instruction in electric bass,piano and ukulele. Lessons are also available for general music theory, music composition, electronic music and recording. To me, music is a necessary practice in building and empowering community and individual expression. I have had more than 15 years experience being an music teacher. I cater my lessons to a student's individual learning style and music interests. As a professional musician, I have played with many luminary Bay Area artists and organizations such as Grammy winner Fantastic Negrito, the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and the San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra. Lessons are for ages 8 and above. Please feel free to communicate to me any special needs and interest before the first lesson. I look forward to helping you on your journey!

My 14yr old son wanted to take up guitar lessons but wanted the “in person” experience which is how we met Josh. My son has learned so much in the short time he’s worked with Josh. Josh is kind and works well with young people. He’s reliable and easy to work with. He’s amazing! If you are looking for that “in person” experience-he’s your guy!

Best guitar teacher and best guitar player in the world!! Josh is skilled, professional and teaches guitar with intent and the utmost care. Any question you may have about guitar and/or music, this guy will definitely have an answer for. The best part about learning with Josh is that he’ll tailor fit your lesson to your skill level and musical tastes. I always show up to my lesson and Josh always has something prepared for us to work on. Not many teachers will do that for you!

I’ve been learning with this guy for over 10 years now and he’s helped me connect so many pieces to my musical puzzle and I’ve only seen amazing results since. Definitely go see Josh for your guitar lessons!
