Mehmet O. says, "I’ve been studying classical guitar with James for some time now, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. I’m 68 and play at an intermediate level, and James has been helping me build a meaningful and challenging repertoire that includes both intermediate and more difficult pieces. What stands out most is how he’s opened my eyes to the interpretive side of classical guitar—how great players bring their own voice to the music. For the first time, I feel empowered to explore my own musical expression, not just play the notes on the page. James is deeply knowledgeable about the guitar and its literature, highly professional, and an all-around kind and supportive teacher. I don’t have much experience playing in front of others, but he creates a comfortable, encouraging environment that really puts me at ease. I highly recommend him to any guitarist looking to grow—not just in skill, but in confidence and artistic identity. Five stars, without a doubt."See more

He's very easy going and responds quickly. Obviously very experienced. Thank you for your work and ease of access!"See more

Cj V. says, "Robert was incredible to work with! He did a great job understanding where I was in my guitar playing journey and tailored our lessons specifically to help me get better. He is extremely knowledgeable as a guitar player and was able to relate to all of the different types of music that I was trying to play. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to further their guitar skills!"See more

I have a Music Major in Guitar Performance and have been teaching at a music institute for 9 years. Teaching emphasis on music theory and technique. I also play lead guitar for a metal band - DreamSide - YouTube Link: /shorts/BIm-VI6BZIA I have almost a decade of experience teaching one-on-one lessons. I also teach group lessons and prepare youth rock bands to perform live in my local town. I have taught online guitar lessons for just as long. Whether it’s for an academic style of music like classical or jazz or a more modern style, I can help you reach your goals. I have two teaching styles: 1. I teach music theory and advanced technique for genres like metal and progressive metal (Sweep Picking, Economy Picking, Legato etc) 2. I teach reading sheet music and standard repertoire for those whose goal is to play Classical or JazzSee more

Reviews for Chapel Hill guitar theory instructors on Thumbtack

From Michael J.

Singing with Lauren Music Lesson Studio
Singing with Lauren Music Lesson Studio
I've only had one lesson with McKinley so far, but the approach was perfect. We focused on music, hearing/listening, scales, and theory as opposed to just working through songs. After that first lesson, my guitar playing is already more purposeful and less just hoping to land somewhere good. I'm looking forward to more lessons and continuing to improve my playing and singing.
