About

Professional Guitar Lessons | Jazz, Latin & Contemporary Styles | All Ages & Levels

English/Spanish

I am a professional guitarist, composer, and educator with over 30 years of international teaching and performing experience. I specialize in guitar instruction for children, teens, and adults, offering structured yet creative lessons in jazz, blues, Latin, pop, and contemporary music.

I have taught hundreds of students in the United States, Argentina, and across Latin America and Europe, both privately and at music schools. I am also the author of multiple guitar method books and an active recording artist, with several original albums released internationally.

My lessons are highly personalized. Whether you are a beginner learning fundamentals, a student preparing for school auditions, or an adult guitarist seeking improvisation skills and musical confidence, I adapt the lesson plan to your goals, learning style, and pace.

What It’s Like Working With Me:

Students describe my lessons as clear, motivating, and inspiring. I combine strong technical foundations with creativity and musical expression, helping students understand why music works—not just what to play.

For children, I emphasize patience, structure, and fun, building confidence step by step.

For adults and advanced students, I focus on musical fluency, improvisation, rhythm, harmony, and real-world playing skills.

I create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged, challenged, and excited to practice.

Why I’ll Do an Excellent Job for You?:

30+ years of professional teaching and performing experience

Extensive experience with beginners, advanced students, and learners with different needs

Strong background in jazz, Latin music, improvisation, and contemporary guitar

Clear communication, structured lesson plans, and measurable progress

Passionate, reliable, and deeply committed to student success

My goal is not only to teach guitar, but to help students develop a lifelong connection to music.

    Guillermo is a truly exceptional music teacher who tailors his instruction to each student’s interests and learning style. From the beginning, he took the time to understand my appreciation for classic rock and quickly incorporated music that genuinely motivated me. Even though I am not the strongest student, Guillermo made learning to read music both engaging and approachable while helping me develop strong playing skills. His depth of musical knowledge is remarkable, but even more impressive is his genuine passion for the art of music. I wholeheartedly recommend Guillermo to anyone seeking an inspiring musical mentor and an all-around wonderful person.

    I’ve been taking acoustic guitar lessons with Guillermo for about three years, and I can confidently say he is an outstanding guitar teacher and musician. Guillermo is highly skilled, incredibly versatile, patient, and accommodating, and he always adapts his teaching style to fit the student’s goals and pace. Over the course of my lessons, he has taught me a wide range of genres, including rock, pop, folk, flamenco, and more, which has really expanded my musical ability and confidence.
    I’ve also had the opportunity to attend Guillermo’s solo performances as well as group performances, and seeing him perform live truly highlights his professionalism, musical depth, and passion for music. His experience as a performer clearly enhances his teaching, making lessons both practical and inspiring.
    Beyond his technical expertise, Guillermo is a kind, well-mannered, and genuinely nice person, which makes every lesson enjoyable and motivating. He creates a supportive, encouraging learning environment that’s ideal for beginners and advanced players alike. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and versatile guitar instructor, I highly recommend Guillermo to anyone interested in learning or improving their guitar skills.
