Introduction: Hello! My name is John Nordquist, and I am a recent alumni of DePaul University where I have studied public relations and advertising and creative writing. I have been playing guitar for nearly nine years, and have had experience playing with rock, jazz, blues and big bands, as well as solo work and individual lessons. I have experience with formal performances, live gigs, more informal collaborative sessions, and have taught several individuals the basics of my passion for guitar. I am able to teach electric guitar, acoustic guitar, six- or twelve-string, and even bass guitar basics.
