Spencer R. says, "I was seeking guitar lessons to improve my entry-level skills and to be able to write some songs. Just under a year later, I understand various different scales (major, minor, and some modes) and when to use them. I also have a comfortable grasp of the different chords and chord shapes. I was planning to focus on just rock n roll but I've been introduced to a much broader array of music including funk, blues, jazz, reggae, and metal as well as different techniques used within each genre. Lessons have been great and have helped me learn not only what to play, but why I'm playing it too. I cannot say enough good things about Justin who has an answer to any question and an accessible teaching style (which is saying a lot when referring to guitar). Every time I leave my lesson I feel that I've improved and I have the support to inspire me to keep improving."See more

With 20 years of experience playing guitar and studying music theory, I bring both technical skill and musical insight to every lesson and performance. I have trained in multiple styles, from rock, jazz fusions, pop, contemporary, and classical environments allowing me to tailor lessons to each student’s goals and interests. In addition to guitar, I have experience with and studied, bass guitar, piano, drum kit, and other orchestral instruments. I attended McNally Smith College of Music in Minneapolis for music composition and was accepted into Berklee College of Music in Boston, further honing my understanding of music theory and creative expression. I am currently an airline pilot and instructor teaching jet aircraft systems/procedures, bringing a disciplined, structured approach to all my instruction while keeping it engaging and accessible. Guitar Influences: (not limited to) Allan Holdsworth, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Shawn Lane, Greg Howe, Eric Johnson, Plini, Paul Gilbert, Van Halen, Steve Lukather, Pat Metheny, Jimi Hendrix, Yvette Young, Jakub ZyteckiSee more

Hayley B. says, "I've been playing the guitar for over 10 years but I only knew how to play by ear and didn't really understand any theory or how to find new sounds on the fret board. In one lesson, Nate explained the CAGED method to me and completely changed the way I looked at and played the guitar. He truly knows his stuff and teaches in a way that is super clear and easy to understand."See more
