I love to teach and record people one of the greatest hobbies in the world. MUSIC! I have extensive studio and live performance experience. I have a recording studio that I use to teach and record with here at my home.

I truly enjoyed my experience working with Johnny. He has a fantastic music studio in his home, which is wonderful to learn in. Johnny is extremely talented on the guitar, and he shows a passion for helping others reach that level as well. The overall experience was outstanding. I would strongly recommend anyone looking for guitarlessons to give Johnny a try.
