My daughter has been taking virtual lessons the past year and she loves it! She's always excited to attend piano lessons and Josh keeps her engaged and interested by letting her learn some of her fav songs along with the curriculum. Knowledgeable and kind. When needed, rescheduling goes very smooth. Virtual lessons have been so convenient and enjoyable for us. My kids are looking forward to taking guitar lessons with Josh when they get a bit older

Josh is a fantastic teacher and an extremely talented musician. My kids adore him already and they've only had a couple lessons!

Best guitar teacher and best guitar player in the world!! Josh is skilled, professional and teaches guitar with intent and the utmost care. Any question you may have about guitar and/or music, this guy will definitely have an answer for. The best part about learning with Josh is that he'll tailor fit your lesson to your skill level and musical tastes. I always show up to my lesson and Josh always has something prepared for us to work on. Not many teachers will do that for you! I've been learning with this guy for over 10 years now and he's helped me connect so many pieces to my musical puzzle and l've only seen amazing results since. Definitely go see Josh for your guitar lessons!

Been taking lesson with Josh and it's been awesome. I've made great progress in a short amount of time. He's a great teacher, caters to your music taste, and gives great material to take home and practice that isn't too overwhelming. Highly recommend.

Josh is awesome! In only 3 sessions, I have learned more about the guitar than in 25 years of playing guitar. I instead of humming sounds and trying to match it on guitar, I'm learning how chords and scales sync. Josh is patient and has a great personality. He has never rushed me or shown any signs of frustration. I recommend him for anyone from beginner to expert level. Schedule a lesson with Josh NOW!

Belinda G. / Savian

My 14yr old son wanted to take up guitar lessons but wanted the "in person" experience which is how we met Josh. My son has learned so much in the short time he's worked with Josh. Josh is kind and works well with young people. He's reliable and easy to work with. He's amazing! If you are looking for that "in person" experience-he's your guy!

How it works

Beginner training plan

Your first lessonStudents will learn the parts the guitar, the music alphabet, an easy way to remember names of strings, and will walk away playing a song!

Lesson 11+From here I like to let the student lead where they’d like to go with their guitar lessons. We can continue expanding knowledge of guitar through learning different styles/genres or we can get as specific as they like with their own personal favorite tunes.

Lesson 4-10Continuing learning songs using new chords and scales learned.

Lesson 2-3Second and third lessons will consist of more songs, introduction of scales and first position chords.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonWe will set up what specific concepts of the guitar you’re working on or you’d like to know more about. That could be improving improvisation, learning the neck and fretboard, getting better at rhythm playing, building song repertoire , mastering a Bach piece, trying to nail intertwined Afrobeat guitar lines or wherever you may be.

About your guitar coach

Music has been an essential element of my life, and for 25 years, I've been sharing that passion as a professional guitarist and dedicated instructor. I specialize in catering to whatever your curiosities are with the instrument and am fluent in a number of musical expressions on the guitar, be it Afrobeat, Rock, European Classical or American Jazz and R and B. I can also read and write in standard music notation, though this is not a requirement to begin lessons! I have played and worked with a number of world renowned Bay Area talents such as Grammy award winner Fantastic Negrito, The San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and The San Francisco Philharmonic Orchestra, My goal is to provide you with the technical foundation and creative freedom to express yourself through guitar, no matter your current skill level. Let's get started!
