Guitar Lessons For Everyone
6 Reviews
I originally studied at Berklee College of Music and followed that up with years of making a living playing all styles of music -- with emphasis on jazz, blues, rock and pop. During that time, I taught hundreds of students.
Perhaps you're a serious player who seeks a complete mastery of the fingerboard and wants to apply all elements of music theory to become a more proficient soloist. I've got you covered.
And, if jazz isn't your thing, and you have rock or pop tunes you'd love to play, I'll have you playing your favorites. I currently have students of all ages with many different musical tastes.

Infinity Guitar Lessons

I can offer my students a level of care and attetnion that the pros can't, and I have the am always willing to learn and adapt my cirriculum for my students.
I love playing guitar and love sharing that passion with others, so I will be very patient with my students. I wish that each one of my students can leave the lesson inspiried and ready to tackle guitar on their own time.
I am also very attentive to details, and I take pride in the work that I do. I never think twice about staying a few minutes after the lesson is over, to make sure a motivated student is on the right track for later practice.

Jake Streete Music
I have been playing guitar for almost 11 years now and I definitely feel like it's my turn to pay it forward and teach people who have the same passion as I do. I am continuously trying to learn different techniques so that when the time does come, I will be able to share what I've personally learned with my students. I am extremely patient and am always willing to go the extra mile to make sure that all concepts are fully understood. I also play live shows from time to time so that I can further my stage presence. I have taught several family friends to play guitar and I am definitely ready to further my clientele out to the public.
