Jaf is a great teacher and a cool dude. He can work with you on anything you are trying to learn on guitar and is very patient and professional. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to get me to where I want to be on my instrument.

Jaf is an amazing guitar teacher. I started lessons with Jaf over 20 years ago and he’s had a tremendous impact on my playing. I once played guitar in a band with which I recorded a music video that received over 1.25 million views on YouTube…I was able to write the song that got that number of views and record the guitar parts to it because of Jaf. If you want to become a good guitarist, learning from Jaf is the right move!

After just several lessons with Jaf, I am genuinely impressed and thrilled with the progress I have made. Jaf has introduced me to an array of amazing scales and playing techniques that have truly elevated my guitar skills. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but his teaching style is also incredibly supportive and patient, making every lesson enjoyable and highly productive. Jaf’s ability to explain complex concepts in a way thats easy to understand has been a game changer for me. His enthusiasm for music and teaching shows through in every session, making learning not just educational but genuinely fun. Moreover, his kindness and encouragement have played a significant role in boosting my confidence. I’ve noticed a substantial improvement in my level of playing, thanks to Jaf’s guidance. For anyone looking to enhance their guitar skills, whether you are a beginner or more advanced, I couldn’t recommend Jaf more highly.

I've been working with Jaf for a few weeks now and have had a great experience. As a guitar player who has just picked up the guitar after many years of inconsistent playing, I've been able to progress quickly due to Jaf's style of teaching. Jaf has reignited the passion for playing that I felt 30 years ago when I picked up my first guitar. Highly recommend!
