About

I am passionate about helping others clearly define their goals and help them accomplish them! I have been playing guitar for 20 years and have knowledge that I would love to share with anyone who wants to learn!

I am a professional guitarist and when not on the road I teach! Please reach out here or on my website.

My favorite part of teaching is when I see an idea, concept, or skill finally click with a student and they "get it". These are the greatest moments and ones I look forward to when teaching!

I also really enjoy seeing the continued growth of a student who really wants to get better. The more motivated the student is, the more I can help them accomplish their goals and become the player they want to be!

    Joel is such a positive and patient teacher. I am a low level player and Joel patterned our lessons with my goals in mind but he also provided on point instruction for all areas I need to improve in. Joel was also professional, on time, and quick to respond to questions. We had great virtual sessions and Joel always provided great practice resources in between lessons which always kept me playing until the next lesson. I would highly recommend Joel!

    Joel is an amazing guitar instructor. After the first lesson, he will determine your skill level. Once he learns your music goals, he will craft an instructional program to meet those goals which is challenging enough to keep you interested, but within your skill set to not discourage. Joel is by far the best instructor I have ever had.

    Joel was a fantastic teacher. I went from never touching a guitar to playing on stage within 8 weeks! Joel was great to teach me at a comfortable pace and was very encouraging whenever I struggled. I am very glad that I took lessons from Joel and would recommend him to anyone looking to learn guitar or to improve their skill set. Thank you Joel for you instruction and knowledge!

    I developed a beginner guitar course at my previous job. We helped teach students the basics (initial chords, finger placement, tuning, etc). Over the years I have taught in different capacities, both to beginner and intermediate players. 

    Beginner and intermediate

    Find someone who you feel matches the goals you are trying to accomplish and who has the ability to break things down for you. Some teachers are great players but they struggle to simplify concepts in ways that are applicable and understandable for the student.
