4worldlovers: If you take one thing away from this website it should be this: You Can Learn Guitar! My number is (415)845-5471. Give me a call if you want to play Rock, Blues, Metal, on electric or acoustic guitar.

My course is for those who want to create and perform their own original music with power, style and authority

Plus be able whip out some covers at campfires and coffee houses whenever the mood strikes.

FYI: For me creating= songwriting + improvising. And despite everyone always denying the importance of these two things, if you can stick with it:

If you think you have solid reasons WHY you can't learn guitar, I assure you, you have been "misinformed". Jump down the page to read The Top 10 Lies About Guitar Lessons.

I am an experienced musician, teacher and performer with lots of patience and a strong memory of not being able to tune my guitar, let alone communicate with it.

Years later I can play and express things on the instrument I couldn't even conceive of when I first started. When I first learned how to practice and approach the instrument properly I made more progress in three months than I had in the first three YEARS of playing.

If you've never taken lessons or played guitar before know this:

Absolute beginners are the EASIEST type of student to teach. No bad habits at all.

In six weeks you'll be where myself and most folks who either had lessons using the traditional method books or were self taught, were in about a year and half to two years (if they ever got there at all). And you'll never even know it.

You will have laid the foundation for a lifetime of unimpeded progress.

If you are ready to learn to play with confidence and style, drop me an Email at [email protected] and we can talk details.

"Jay is brilliant... period... I've been working with him via Zoom and Skype and it's been awesome! Jay's method to learning guitar whether beginner or advanced is incredible, clear and simple... in just a year with him he's helped open up my playing to places I didn't know existed... he even teaches my father starting from the very basics... affordable, reliable and all around awesome person, musician and teacher... I recommend him to everyone... thanks Jay!" -Greg Papania Google Review

Recent world events have made online guitar lessons the new normal. Fortunately I have been already been teaching online for years and have an extensive library of custom PDF materials as well (Some appear on this site and are among the most searched on the internet).

Please note: Although I teach students from around the world, I only offer guitar lessons in the English language.

Oh, I had tried lessons but at best they just showed me what to learn, not HOW TO LEARN IT, or how to approach the instrument. In reality I hated them, the graded "Method Book" and that whole miserable head space I remembered from piano lessons.

"HOW do i change the chords?," I'd ask. Not one of them could ever give me any answer except "practice." Sound familiar?

I felt discouraged and rejected by the world of music as a whole. In retrospect, I had no grounds for selecting a teacher. I knew very little about guitar and guitar lessons and as it turned out, everything I did know was wrong.

Its very existence, electric or acoustic is social, enjoyable, and kind of questions authority. I felt then that guitar lessons shouldn't be like the bad piano lessons I got from my mean great aunt, which as a kid I saw as a method for teaching children to hate music.

You are not a hopeless case! There are no hopeless cases! Regardless of how many students a teacher has taught that doesn't mean they were the right teacher for you.

I have had great success teaching students who have not found the results they were looking for with other teachers. Give me a call and see if my approach is the one for you.
