Introduction

Hey there, I'm José Longino, and I'm a passionate guitar player with over 16 years of experience. For the past 7 years, I've had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge with aspiring musicians, helping them reach their goals and develop their skills. What sets me apart is my whole-life approach to teaching guitar. I believe that music is more than just notes on a page or chords on a fretboard - it's a journey of self-discovery and personal growth. As your teacher, I'll be attentive, understanding, and firm when it comes to reaching your goals. Together, we'll explore the intricacies of guitar playing, and I'll make sure you not only have fun but understand how the guitar functions as a whole. I'm a proud graduate of the Musician's Institute of Contemporary Music in Hollywood, where I earned my Associate's Degree in 2016. With my collection of acoustic and electric guitars, I'm equipped to teach any style and focus, from classical to rock, pop to blues. So, if you're looking for a dedicated, experienced guitar teacher who cares about your progress and development, look no further than José Longino

Jose is seriously awesome. He’s not only an extremely talented and insightful instructor, but he also has a great personality that makes it easy to be comfortable right out of the gate. I was super hesitant to have guitar lessons online vs in person at first, but I was shocked at how much I learned in a single session. No minute is spared here - you 100% will get your money’s worth! Not to mention, his responsiveness and availability is truly unmatched. I definitely made the right choice going with lessons from Jose, highly HIGHLY recommend!

I label myself as an intermediate guitar player and have been stuck in a rut and trying to make a break through. I’ve been studying theory and trying to relate it to the fretboard to open my eyes to new ideas. In just one session with Jose, he was able to make my major and minor pentatonic relationships clear as day to me. I now fully understand the idea behind inversions and how to make them up and down the fretboard. I’ve been trying to understand chord building and how to find moveable shapes and in our first lesson I was able to see all the shapes of 7th chords and how they apply in other keys. If your new to guitar or at a higher level and want to break through, book a lesson with Jose and you will see a little clearer.

I appreciate Jose’s patience and punctuality. I just started taking lessons with him and all around he’s the instructor for me. Prices are very reasonable considering all the time he’s been learning himself.
