Smart Guitar

About

Most people don't realize they already know a great deal about music, I help them by putting the "labels" on what they already know... The student can pick 25 -30 songs that he or she wants to learn, and I can always find a song to suit our lesson that day.

I also teach Music Theory along with your lesson so that the student can completely understand "WHY" they are doing what they are doing...

That's why I call this smart guitar, I have simplified Music Theory so that it is incredibly easy to understand ....

I enjoy Teaching immensely. Helping someone achieve their goal in music is why I am here ! I also teach songwriting and soon I will be taking one of my students to a recording studio to record 12 songs that we have co-written together...

I spent 30 years on the road with many different rock stars, toured the world 3 times and I was at all of their recording sessions, Live shows,along with radio and TV appearances. I gained so much knowledge from them that I want to pass it on to my students.

Jim is really engaging and reads my daughter’s learning style well. He is also clearly very educated in the guitar and teaching method he is utilizing.

JJ just makes sense. He frames his lessons based on where you are coming from and helps to fill in all the gaps. Im self-taught and he helped me understand some things that have always been just out of my grasp. Good man, great player, exceptional teacher.
