Introduction
I'm a professional guitarist and instructor, and I’ve been turning new learners into confident guitar players for over a decade. I teach music first — scales and drills second — so that you’re playing songs within a few sessions. My approach to teaching is totally adaptable for all ages and skill levels, goal-oriented, and judgement free. Improvement guaranteed after the first lesson! Cancellations and reschedules are totally flexible, but I do charge for no-call no-shows.

Joe is a sublime technician and an innovative educator. I have had a couple experiences with guitar and other instrument instructors in the past, some good some bad. But, Joe stands alone as the most pleasurable experience in music I have had. He caters to your learning style whatever that may be. Moreover has a sense for what is fun and will move you to play more. My first lesson with him I felt I had learned years in one session and was amazed at the skills we were attempting just after a few minutes. Despite his masterful ability, you don't feel judged or lesser than by skill differences. Truly a one of a kind instructor and I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    We’ll start by talking about your existing knowledge of music, your musical tastes, and goals with the instrument. I might ask if you have a song in particular that you’d like to someday learn on the guitar (if not, I can help you choose). From there, I’ll create a personalized lesson plan that is tailored to your needs, using that song as our “north star”. Once we get there, and you master the song, the sky is the limit.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I’ve worked with four year-olds and 70 year-olds. I have turned absolute beginners into confident guitar players, and I’ve coached touring professionals on their lead guitar playing. No matter the age or musical skill — I’ll take your playing to the next level!
