About

My teaching approach: I’m a leading guitar and bass guitar teacher in the Long Island and New York City area. I have over 25 years experience teaching, recording, and playing guitar. I’ve worked to gain the respect of many students and parents as a patient and effective teacher who promotes having lots of fun in a learning environment. In addition to teaching regularly, I’m also an experienced musician–leading bands, recording (including doing recording for students and their bands), and live touring with major acts. I’m diverse and teach all guitar styles at all levels. I teach using music from any era. If my student wants to learn a specific song, I teach him / her their favorites. My influences are: Too many! My guitar lessons take place in: The student's home Guitar lessons typically take place on these days and hours: I teach 7 days a week Guitar Techniques: Lead guitar, Rhythm guitar, Open tuning, Fingerstyle, Slide Guitar, Vocal Accompaniment, Performance, Improvisation, Jamming Skills, Reading Music, Music Theory, Scales and Exercises, Song Writing, Recording and Production, Guidance In Equipment Selection Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following: Introductory lesson is free! I like to get to know my student by talking to them, listening to what they want out of lessons, then make a goal oriented plan catered to their desires. A guitar lesson with me might entail the following: Lessons are catered to my students goals, desires, and specific needs. The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following: One who loves to listen to and play music, and enjoys his/her time with me.

    After just several lessons with Jaf, I am genuinely impressed and thrilled with the progress Ive made. Jaf has introduced me to an array of amazing scales and playing techniques that have truly elevated my guitar skills. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, but his teaching style is also incredibly supportive and patient, making every lesson enjoyable and highly productive.
    Jafs ability to explain complex concepts in a way thats easy to understand has been a game changer for me. His enthusiasm for music and teaching shows through in every session, making learning not just educational but genuinely fun. Moreover, his kindness and encouragement have played a significant role in boosting my confidence.
    Ive noticed a substantial improvement in my level of playing, thanks to Jafs guidance. For anyone looking to enhance their guitar skills, whether youre a beginner or more advanced, I couldnt recommend Jaf more highly.

    I was looking for a guitar teacher to take me to the next level. Jaf has taught me a lot about music theory that has really helped my playing and knowledge. He is a great teacher.
