About

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view this! I have been playing guitar for most of my life and have been teaching music - from beginner, to very advanced levels - for over 20 years now. I love showing people how easy it is to learn to play, I'm very patient and I like to use each student's personal musical interests and preferences to teach. I don't have a set step-by-step approach; I structure each lesson specifically to each separate student, taking into account their unique musical goals, and how they like to learn. I want you to enjoy learning and playing guitar. I want you to feel that you're improving, not just that you're taking lessons. I'm happy to provide current student references upon request.

Teaching music is the greatest job in the world, it's wonderful to help people learn a skill that relieves stress and brings joy into their lives. Playing guitar is easy! You can simply become as good as you want to be.

    Jacob is an excellent with kids. He tries to connect with them by getting to know them on a personal level. He makes sure that he is teaching to the interests of his students. Jacob really breaks down the music so that it is easier to learn. Try Jacob out- you wont be disappointed.

    Jacob is a warm, patient, and friendly teacher and he makes lessons relaxed and fun. Hes a talented and knowledgeable musician who lets the student set the course and the pace. Ive taken lessons from other people in the past, but never made as much progress as I have with Jacob in just a few short weeks. I look forward to my lessons with him. I highly recommend him as a guitar instructor.

    Ive only had a few lessons with Jacob so far but it has been great! I appreciate that he is willing to work with me on songs that I want to learn. Scheduling with him has been easy and flexible which is very important to me! He has a very easy going nature and obviously enjoys playing guitar and helping others learn. Im looking forward to continuing my lessons and would recommend him to anyone!

    Frequently asked questions

    Once we establish a day and time that will accommodate the student's schedule, I simply try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I really believe that learning and playing guitar should be fun, that it's not as difficult as a lot of people think, and that it is a skill that can be used for the rest of one's life. Playing the guitar really does add a lot of joy, and remove a ton of stress from day-to-day living.

    I have many many years of professional and private music lessons from some of the most amazing players. When I lived in Southern California I studied under a very noteworthy guitar professional, he tours the world performing with many big-name acts, and performs on television shows regularly. I also worked as his guitar-tech while living in CA.

    The 1st 30 minutes are free -

    My rates are: 

    $40 for 30 minute lessons. 

    $55 for 45 minutes. 

    $70/hour

    If any student ever found the 1st lesson to be unsatisfactory for any reason, they would not be charged, even after the 1st free 30 minutes -This has yet to happen, but I would only feel comfortable taking your money if you were happy with your session.

    I began teaching guitar back in my early 20's after working during the daytime at Guitar Center in Pasadena, CA - I've never stopped.

    I've worked with people from all walks of life, very young, very old, men, women, and everything in-between. I don't see skin color or sexual orientation - If you're interested in trying the guitar out, I'll happily show you how simple it is to start playing, you'll be strumming songs in your first session.

    My most recent band recorded a professional album at the home of the Guns n Roses drummer in LA, it was a blast and we were very happy with the quality of the resulting record.

    I would advise the customer to contact me and ask any questions they might have, and to check into a few references that I would provide - if after the first session they were unsatisfied, or felt that it wasn't what they were looking for - no charge of course.

    Anything that comes to mind regarding guitar, guitar lessons, how to find the right guitar, or even just questions about not knowing where to start -there are no bad questions. I just want the customer to feel comfortable and peaceful during our sessions; I also want them to feel that they're growing musically, not just taking lessons without really advancing their playing.
