About

I’ve been teaching private guitar lessons for the last 4 years and I’m confident I can get you closer to your guitar playing goals.

We advance at the pace that you require and all the lessons are tailored for the specific needs of the student. I have a bachelor in music from Mexico and an AA in Guitar Performance from LACM.

If you’re interested in my career as an artist, feel free to visit juanmunguia.com

The thing I love the most is that through music so much can be improved in our daily lives. All aspects of your life can transform once you are involved with your instrument. Sometimes it's something like a new record someone recommends you and other times is when you are able to finally play that song you've been practicing!

    Juan is kind and supportive, and with an approach that’s open to being surprised, he jumps in to teach at just the right moments. He wants his students to make progress and is fearless about giving shortcuts and hacks. He respects and honors the greats and provides terrific insights into them. Love working with him.

    Juan is not only the best guitar teacher I ever had. He is one of the best teachers I’ve had in anything. He knows how to break guitar play down to the most important essence. He is also a very good communicator. Finally, he operates from a place of joy, which makes the work fun to do. I could not recommend him more highly. He took me to the utmost boundaries of my innate skills. I’m not sure many others could have done that.

    Frequently asked questions

    First thing is to get to know the student, his preferences and why he wants to play guitar. After the assessment we can focus on areas to improve or if the student is a complete beginner, we begin with the basic chords and move from there.

    I have 4 years experience teaching students from all levels and within a variety of styles; pop, rock, blues, metal and jazz.

    The prices for the lessons are: 

    1 hr individual lesson - $100

    1/2 hr individual lesson -$60
