I found the search for classical guitar instruction rather daunting until I discovered the website of James Lorusso (jameslorusso.com). My initial contact from several other entities and individuals proved far too commercially driven for my taste. I was interested in taking formal lessons and learning how to read music not just learning from tablature or playing by ear which I had done for over fifty years. A few hours following my e-mail inquiry I was surprised and gratified to receive a personal call from Mr. Lorusso and was in his studio the very next day. I was immediately impressed with this gentleman. His warmth and finely honed pedagogic approach were so apparent it was only a matter of minutes into that introductory lesson I became convinced I had found the quintessential teacher a true pedagogue and a man of such talent and encyclopedic musical knowledge I was drawn to him like a magnet. Seldom in life does one come across a resource as substantial and charismatic as this gentleman look no further, you have just found a genius who's also as warm as the day is long! My name is Tom I'm 67 years of age and feel like a kid when I'm in Jims studio. In three months he has given me gifts of learning and brought me to places I thought were unachievable. He will do the same for you!

Jim is an excellent teacher and guitar player. Starting out playing guitar over 50 years ago I focused on playing songs not learning the fundamentals of playing the guitar. Jim appreciated my skill and targeted ways to improve my playing and knowledge of the guitar. He definitely enhanced my playing. Jim is also an easy person to like and he works with you availability in scheduling lessons.

I found Jim on Thumbtack after searching for a guitar teacher for my 9 year old daughter. I was extremely impressed with his experience and knowledge. After taking lessons for 1 year with Jim, my daughter is playing beautifully and I know this is mainly due to Jim's patient nature and incredible teaching style. He goes above and beyond to keep her motivated. When he is not teaching her he is creating music pieces based on songs that she has chosen. Jim's passion for and dedication to teaching guitar were apparent from the very first lesson. I highly recommend him!

FAQs

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    First and foremost, I love teaching and bringing people to a higher level of playing by explaining the techniques and nuances that are necessary to get there. If you have a favorite song, I can make a fingerstyle guitar arrangement of it specifically for your level of playing. If your guitar is too difficult to play, I can improve it's action, which will make it much easier to play. If your Guitar has a dull sound, I can adjust the Saddle or make a new bone saddle which can liven up the sound. I also make saddles of other materials, like carbon fiber or aluminum, giving new aspects of tone to your instrument. My wife also plays the guitar, which we have been doing together for 35 years. I have made it a point to arrange all of the most popular wedding music for guitar solo and duet. Therefore, if you need quality Classical Guitar Duet or Solo performances for a wedding or event, we can provide it, specified to your musical tastes.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Take your time and ask all the questions you need to so you can be sure of what you are getting, whether it be to find a good teacher, buy the right guitar, to choose your favorite music to be arranged or to select the pieces for your wedding. A person providing these services should be patient and willing to spent the time necessary to satisfy you.
