About me - Get to know me
My name is Jeff, and the guitar has been a big part of my life for nearly all of my life. I’ve been privileged to have played guitar all across the US, Eastern and Western Europe, and a little, tiny part of Asia.
For over 20 years, I have focused my efforts on teaching. We all know there are tons of guitar teaching aids, in the form of books, CDs DVDs, websites, ad infinitum, ad nauseum! But, none of these things can ever replace a living, breathing (and caring!) human being whom you visit on a regular basis. This is where real growth and progress take place.

My Teaching Method
Teaching isn’t just something I do—it’s my passion and my primary focus. Unlike many teachers who balance instruction with performing, my dedication lies entirely in helping you become a better guitarist.
Learning Through Songs:
I teach the guitar by focusing on the music you love. Together, we’ll learn the songs you’re passionate about, making the process engaging and rewarding. Music theory will naturally find its place in our lessons, but only when you’re ready and curious to dive deeper.
Personalized Attention:
I believe in meeting you where you are—both in terms of your skill level and even your location. If you prefer, I’ll come to you for lessons, a rare service that many students appreciate.
Celebrating Progress:
There’s nothing I enjoy more than watching my students overcome challenges and achieve what once felt impossible. It’s a privilege I get to witness regularly, and it’s what inspires me to continue teaching.
Learning guitar is a journey, and I’m here to make it enjoyable, rewarding, and tailored to your goals. Let’s make music together!
