About
I've been a professional musician and guitar teacher for the past 10 years, helping hundreds of students be the best guitar players they can be. Whether you just want to play a few songs for your friends, be the guitar player in the band or aspire to be a full-time working musician, I can show you the way to get there.
My lessons are fun and exciting because that is what playing music is all about. You're here to not only learn, but to also enjoy your time and be inspired. We'll work with the music that you love to practice, based on what we've learned, and spend as much time as we need to make sure you are playing the kind of music you want to play.

Jacob has been Awesome! I came to him with the intent to build a solid foundation, an understanding of music and its theories. I had played around with the guitar for years but had always found myself at a dead end road; lacking structure and direction to improving my playing and my knowledge of the guitar. It's very easy to be impressed with Jacob's musical ability; he seems very accomplished and well versed in many styles of guitar playing, but I have been just as impressed with his gift in the art of teaching! He has the ability to take difficult concepts in music and break them down to very usable and tangible information; for my sake. He is very creative in his teaching methods, offers a variety of learning modalities
(video demos, phone apps, audio tools), and very flexible in catering to specific learning styles. Our lessons our very well balanced with structure, accountability, professionalism and lots of character and personality. Jake has been the catalyst in removing those dead ends in the road for me. He has help to reignite my passion for playing the guitar and has also helped me find a new passion in learning music theory. At the end of the day you truly feel that Jacob really cares about your personal journey to becoming a better musician and that he truly wants to be apart of that journey.

My experience with Jacob as student to teacher is one of great satisfaction. His instructions with the guitar has shown me his capacity for patience because I am an 82 year old learner. His enthusiasm for what he is doing makes our time together fun and meaningful. His encouragement and support is always dependable and his many years of successful experience as a musician is evident and is demonstrated in his professional proficiency. I highly endorse him. His teaching me to play the guitar is a gift that will last a lifetime.

This teacher is so flexible and a true pro. He's helping me (56), a former professional guitarist, play guitar duets with my daughter (23) a beginning guitarist! He's teaching us both at the same time, and we're both learning new things. Truly a special experience. I highly recommend Jacob for any level player who wants to learn more about playing the guitar.

Jacob is very engaging and thoroughly knowledgeable. Don't be fooled by the grim from door, once inside the tiny studio this guy is really really good.
As an absolute beginner I was more than a bit intimidated before stepping through his door, after one session with Jacob I am practicing and cant wait to go back and progress my guitar playing.
