GUITAR LESSONS
  • Beginner
  • Intermediate
  • Advanced
Whether you are picking up the guitar for the first time or are already a trained guitarist looking to expand your musicianship or technique, I can help you become the guitarist and musician that YOU want to be.

Every student is different and every student gets a tailor-made lesson plan. I want to help you learn to play the music that you love and to reach the musical goals that you want to achieve.

My teaching experience includes 9 years of private instruction as well as group guitar classes at the San Francisco Bay Academy and the CCHC Youth Center in Los Angeles.  

I am currently a guitar instructor at the Myriad Music School in San Mateo CA.
 
BEGINNERS
You don’t have to suffer through weeks of boring exercises before you can learn to play the songs that inspired you to pick up the guitar in the first place. 

When you are strumming the songs that you want to play, it’s no longer just practice — you’re making music!

INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED PLAYERS
I have studied for years (and still do) with some of the world’s preeminent guitar masters.  I will share that wealth of knowledge with you and will tailor a training program specifically for you to help you master technique,  musicianship,  or to learn the styles that you are most passionate about.

FEE and LOCATION
I teach primarily out of my home in San Francisco near 19th and Ortega in the Sunset.  I will travel for an additional $5-$10 fee depending on your location.

Single lesson (paid at time of lesson)                                                                        $70/hour or $40/half hour
                                                                               
I offer a $5 per lesson discount for advance scheduling and payment of four or more lessons.

TESTIMONIALS
“I had so much fun in my lessons that I often didn’t even realize how much I was learning.”
 -Luis Flores,  guitarist for Grapes and Nuts

“Justin has been my guitar tutor for the past year before which I had never played a musical instrument. He is positive, patient, very knowledgeable about music and takes great care to tailor the lessons to my interests. I am very happy with my progress, and thanks to him I am now playing and singing my favorite songs. I always look forward to my lessons with him.” -Yung Kao, computer programmer

"Justin's encouragement and uncanny ability to break things down to simplicity helped me become the musician that I am today.” 
- Kean Eggett, lead guitarist for The Curs


*NOTE:  So that I may have some prediction on my schedule and income, advance payments are not refundable for missed lessons. If you must miss a lesson and you give me 48 hours notice, the lesson can be rescheduled at no cost. If you miss a lesson without 48 hours notice, the fee for that lesson is forfeited.
