I've been playing guitar since 1992 and studied at the Guitar Institute of Technology in Los Angeles, learning from musicians like Brett Garsed and T.J. Helmerich.
I started teaching full-time in 2001 and have worked with students at every level ever since. I've also spent years composing orchestral music, nearly 700 tracks for Epidemic Sound, heard on channels like MrBeast and Hot Ones.
My goal is simple: make the path to better playing as clear and direct as possible. Whether that's through coaching, courses, or free lessons — I want every guitarist I work with to actually feel the progress.
Jon's student focus and detailed plans truly 10x my guitar progress in a very short time. I had been through a number of teachers before and found what was missing in all of them.
In less than two months working with Jon I've clarified concepts and doubts I've had for almost my entire life with the guitar. Truly, thank you.
The approach has been very systematic. Every rep and exercise has purpose and meaning. Highly recommended if you're serious about improving.
