I have a Music Major in Guitar Performance and have been teaching at a music institute for 9 years. Teaching emphasis on music theory and technique. I also play lead guitar for a metal band - DreamSide - YouTube Link: /shorts/BIm-VI6BZIA I have almost a decade of experience teaching one-on-one lessons. I also teach group lessons and prepare youth rock bands to perform live in my local town. I have taught online guitar lessons for just as long. Whether it’s for an academic style of music like classical or jazz or a more modern style, I can help you reach your goals. I have two teaching styles: 1. I teach music theory and advanced technique for genres like metal and progressive metal (Sweep Picking, Economy Picking, Legato etc) 2. I teach reading sheet music and standard repertoire for those whose goal is to play Classical or JazzSee more

I have over 17 years of experience as a guitarist and play professionally on records and on the road in a variety of genres. I have an extensive knowledge of the guitar neck, techniques, and music theory, and I am passionate about helping others understand these areas of the instrument. My teacher growing up is a large part of the reason I am where I am today as a musician. He was always aware of the next concept I would benefit from learning and the best way to teach it. I believe I have learned a lot from that experience and would love to provide that for another aspiring learner of the instrument!See more

He is extremely knowledgeable as a guitar player and was able to relate to all of the different types of music that I was trying to play. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to further their guitar skills!"See more

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
