About
I'm an active, gigging musician performing 50+ shows a year across Denver's top stages including Dazzle, Cervantes, and the Bluebird Theater. I play with multiple professional projects ranging from jazz fusion to psychedelic funk, and I've performed for clients like NBC and Charles Schwab. When you study with me, you're learning from someone who uses this stuff on stage every week. I offer three focused lesson tracks — Bass Guitar, Jazz/Funk Guitar, and Singer-Songwriter Guitar — so your lessons are tailored to what you actually want to play, not a generic curriculum. I also run the Musician Manual, an education platform with 550+ subscribers, so teaching isn't a side gig for me — it's a craft I take seriously. What sets me apart: I host Denver's weekly Goosetown Sunday Jam where students can play in a real band setting, and my background in product management means lessons are structured, goal-oriented, and efficient. You'll always know what you're working on and why.

I have played guitar and a little bass for decades. Yet I have been astounded by how much I've learned from "ShredShift." Jordan is a jazz, funk and blues master who expanded my boundaries way beyond my expectations. If you have a chance to hear him play professionally, take it. He's a pro in every sense.

I purchased my first guitar just a few weeks before deciding to find a teacher, and I was hesitant about getting started. However, Jordan made the learning process both enjoyable and approachable. In our first lesson, we started with the very basics like going over the different types of guitars and fundamental techniques, which helped me feel more comfortable. Jordan is patient, knowledgeable, and great at breaking things down in a way that’s easy to understand. Each lesson is well-structured, and I appreciate how he tailors the sessions to my pace while still challenging me to improve. We begin each lesson by reviewing what I’ve been practicing throughout the week before diving into topics ranging from music theory and strumming patterns to chords and picking. Since starting lessons, I’ve gained confidence in basic chords, strumming patterns, pentatonic scales, and even improvisation. Jordan is always encouraging, making learning guitar a fun and rewarding experience. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive guitar teacher!

Jordan is a fantastic guitar and music teacher. I never would have imagined that I could progress as quickly as I have in a short few months. His lessons are engaging, he makes music theory easy to understand, and most importantly, he makes me want to pick up my guitar every single day. He meets you where you are at and tailors the curriculum specifically to your goals and strengths. I cannot recommend him enough!
