Hi! I’m Alex, and I’ve been playing guitar for the past 20 years. Before that, I grew up playing piano and trumpet. My teaching mainly focuses on beginning to intermediate levels, and I’m also open to helping teach songwriting, which is my favorite part of playing music. I live in the valley in LA, and I have played in numerous bands over the past 15 years. I typically start with a video consultation to better understand your musical background and what you'd like to learn from me. After that, if it's a good fit, I will put together a custom lesson plan for you, and we can start the actual lessons the following week.

Hello, my name is James Zota Baker, and I’ve been teaching guitar for nearly 40 years. My approach combines structure with a friendly, supportive atmosphere to help students feel both challenged and encouraged. While learning a few riffs can be fun—what I like to call the “dessert”—I believe the true “main course” is developing a deep understanding of the guitar and music theory. I strive to maintain a healthy balance between the two, ensuring lessons are both engaging and meaningful. My goal is for every student to leave with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to step out into the world as a well-rounded and capable musician.

Children can start blues guitar lessons between the ages of 6 to 10 years old at the earliest. The best time is whenever they can hold the instrument easily and have the hand strength to press on the strings.

Adults of all ages can learn to play blues guitar with the right instruction and regular practice.

  • For kids, ask other moms and dads what their kids say about the teacher.
  • Get a plan on paper about when your lessons will be before you start.

  • What should I bring to class, and how long is each lesson?

  • If I have an urgent problem and need to cancel, what happens?
  • Can I choose some songs that I want to learn?

Reviews for Thousand Oaks blues guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Thousand Oaks area.
Aritina L.
Within ONE lesson, Howard could pinpoint EXACTLY what my trouble areas are, and not only is he able to articulate a very clear plan for dealing with those, but he has also helped me with the burdening amount of pain that plagues my joints and muscles when I play something technically demanding! Furthermore, he is very focused, understanding, knowledgeable and gentle! After having many verbally.... difficult teachers whose teaching involved quite a bit of negative reinforcement, it is an absolute pleasure and an eye opening experience to have a patient, understanding teacher. Some people may learn quite well in that fashion, and there was a period of time when I actually believed, or rather was brainwashed into thinking that being verbally berated would serve as motivation. But now I see quite clearly that is not the case: I learn a lot better and I am more motivated to practice when I find it a pleasure to go to my piano lessons! Thank you, Howard for all your dedication, patience and knowledge!
