About
HI! My name is Sam Schacker. I grew up playing guitar in the Twin Cities, but now I live and work in Chicago. In online lessons, I help students learn what they'd like to play. I focus on technique and musicality, as well as practical understanding of harmony and form. I have a bachelor's degree in Classical Guitar Performance and Jazz Studies, and have been living and working in the Chicago area for ten years.

What a great night! It was my dad’s 80th birthday and I wanted to make it special for him because he loves jazz! Sam and his fabulous bass player knew exactly what music to play for him and definitely made it a night to remember! Thank you Sam!

Sam is a great guitarist and a fantastic teacher. His insights into a large variety of musical topics will take any musician to a new level in their playing. He's an excellent pedagogue and I would not hesitate recommending him to any student, regardless of age or ability

Sam is a fabulous teacher and incredible musician. My 15 year old son took beginning guitar lessons with Sam, and always looked forward to each lesson. My son learned a large amount in a short period of time due to Sam’s expert knowledge, patience, and skilled guidance. I really appreciated the convenience of Sam coming to our home. Thank you, Sam!
