Gary James Guitar Lessons
About
My teaching approach:
I received my B.M. in Jazz Studies from DePaul University School of Music in 2004. There, I was a member of the DePaul Big Band and DePaul Orchestra. I have been a music instructor since 1997 and I am proficient in guitar, string bass, electric bass, piano and mandolin, violin and cello. Lessons are custom tailored, focusing on students interests, needs and strengths. HAVE FUN WITH MUSIC!
My influences are:
I am influenced by thoughtful musicianship that exhibits creativity, experimentation, control and insight as opposed to shredding and hot dogging. Also, I get inspired by many genres and instruments, not only the guitar
