Introduction
I have many many years of experience playing guitar, but I also have plenty of experience with teachers! I've had the good, the bad and the ugly. I like to think I'm very passionate about the instrument as it has changed my life. I hope to create that same passion in my students. I love music and I love the guitar! I loved it so much when my parents first bought me a guitar at age 12, that I would lay down next to it and place my ear against the guitar and pluck each string before I knew a thing about the instrument. 20 years later and I feel I've come a long way as a writer of over 300 compositions and a long time performer in some of the best NYC venues.

I started working with Josh a little bit more than a year ago, having never picked up a guitar at age 43. It was intimidating, to say the least, but Josh was beyond patient and kind and we hit it off from the start! It’s been very challenging but I can’t imagine where I’d be without him. I understand guitar so much better now and it’s a testament to his skill as a teacher that I’m fully passionate about this now, despite being nowhere near where I want to be yet. That’s because I’m very demanding of myself, and Josh is great at reminding me to stop being so hard on myself and be patient; the results will come. And they have! I’d recommend him unequivocally and urge anyone browsing to write to him immediately. (Also, he took this super cool photo during a Zoom session so extra props for that. And he’s an awesome dude!)

Details: 26 - 44 years old • No formal training • No, cannot read music • What the teacher recommends • Rock • Jazz • No, but the student is planning to purchase an instrument • I'm flexible • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

I’m finally in a state of content in my life where I am able to afford to do things like my passions. One of my passions would be music, and I had my first guitar lesson on Thursday 🥺. Josh was so nice, patient, and kind. I even found that I am a fast learner, (I already knew some chords and scales, but I haven’t played in months nor knew much music theory) but I realize as I’m practicing, I am getting better and better when I practice daily for 30 minutes. Really taking the time out of your day for your passions really does help with your creativity and confidence. Shout out to Josh you the 🐐

Details: 18 - 25 years old • No formal training; some self-taught experience • Yes, can read guitar tabs • What the teacher recommends • Rock • Blues • What the teacher recommends • No, but the student is planning to purchase an instrument • 60 minutes • At the pro’s location

I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar, so I decided to try to give it a go on my own last year. Watching youtube's, buying iphone apps but found myself not really gaining any momentum. My boyfriend bought me lessons for Christmas with Josh and I am so happy he did. Josh is incredibly thorough, insightful and taking classes with him has been a blast. He breaks it down and really helps you understand the fundamentals of playing the guitar. I'm several lessons in and I already feel like I'm miles ahead from when I started. I HIGHLY recommend Josh, he's a wonderful teacher and learning from him has been so seamless! - ALANA

I had attempted to learn the guitar via YouTube for about 6 months and continued to struggle. Decided to give Josh a shot and have been thoroughly impressed. He is a young, down-to-earth normal guy with tons knowledge and enthusiasm. He actually listens to what I want to learn and structures his lessons and materials around this. He always comes well prepared and teaching comes natural to him. Overall extremely happy with Josh as a guitar coach (contrary to all the others I've tried!)

I've taken guitar lessons with Josh for over five years now, and there's a reason I keep coming back. He does an excellent job of breaking down an intimidating prospect, learning an instrument, into digestible bite-size chunks, all the while learning your favorite songs on guitar. He is very approachable and willing to go at whatever pace you're hoping to learn (slowly and surely to breakneck speed). I can't endorse Josh strongly enough as a guitar tutor and would recommend that you start working with him yesterday!
