Joy C. says, "Brad is amazing! As a person he is easy to talk to and as a teacher he is very patient and incredibly clear. He is very knowledgeable and actively encourages students to explore and go beyond what is written in the sheet music. He always makes sure that lessons are going at a comfortable pace, and that pieces are enjoyable to listen to and learn. He is quick to point out things I need to fix, and he makes theory and techniques easy to understand and remember. I greatly appreciated his lessons and his understanding of my crazy schedule. :)"See more

Junichi A. says, "I’m a full-time musician from Japan with over 20 years of experience on bass guitar. Ameya is one of the most extraordinary guitarists I’ve ever had the pleasure to play with. We’re currently touring with Lisa Lisa, performing in packed, sold-out arenas where his skill, creativity, and professionalism shine on every stage. Booking him as your teacher is a rare opportunity—you’ll learn so much from his deep musical knowledge and genuine passion for teaching. Don’t wait—his schedule fills up fast!"See more

Why should customers hire me? I’ve been playing guitar for 19 years (since I was 6!), and music has been one of the most important things in my life through good times and bad. It’s something that’s kept me grounded, creative, and connected, and I want to help others experience that for themselves. I offer lessons focused on real-world playing. We'll practice chords, rhythm, and songs that make learning feel natural and rewarding. Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone returning after a break, I’ll work with you step by step to build confidence, skill, and a deeper understanding of the instrument. Lessons are available in-home or online. I also help with basic gear setup and can guide you in finding the right guitar to start with. My goal is to make learning guitar something you can look forward to every week.See more

Reviews for Chicago guitar instructors on Thumbtack

Music Teacher – Jonah Lazarus
Music Teacher – Jonah Lazarus
Jonah has been teaching my son guitar lessons for a few months. My 6-year old son really likes him and his lesson. He is very good at having the children engaged in music and keeping their interest on the instrument learning.
