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: 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.

    Ive been working with Jaf for a few weeks now and have had a great experience. As a guitar player who has just picked up the guitar after many years of inconsistent playing, Ive ben able to progress quickly due to Jafs style of teaching. Jaf has reignited the passion for playing that I felt 30 years ago when I picked up my first guitar. Highly recommend!

    Jaf is a great teacher and a cool dude. Jaf is patient, professional and is willing to work with you on anything you are trying to learn on guitar. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to get me to where I want to be on my instrument.

    Jaf can easily explain the fundamentals of whatever you are trying to learn and later in nuance and complexity as your skills develop. Each lesson was focused and fun. I look forward to them!

    Jaf is an amazing guitar teacher. I started lessons with Jaf over 20 years ago and he’s had a tremendous impact on my playing. I once played guitar in a band with which I recorded a music video that received over 1.25 million views on YouTube…I was able to write the song that got that number of views and record the guitar parts to it because of Jaf. If you want to become a good guitarist, learning from Jaf is the right move!
