Hi, I'm John! Over the last twenty years of my playing career, I have realized my biggest strong suit is helping other musicians unlock their potential. With a music degree from Seattle Pacific University and extensive experience collaborating with artists across multiple genres, I've developed a teaching approach that goes deeper than basic lessons. My sessions go beyond learning to play the guitar. I incorporate music theory, tone development, recording, and modern production techniques in a fun way to give you a complete musical education. At your desired pace, we will discover what makes you unique and open up the possibilities for you as a musician. I'll share all the strategies and shortcuts I've accumulated over two decades to accelerate your progress. 

 

Whether you're brand new to the instrument or are an experienced player looking for further guidance, I'll be there to inspire, challenge and mentor you as you take off on your own musical journey.
