Los Feliz Guitar Lessons

I know that selecting a teacher can be an intimidating experience especially when considering that the success of one-on-one lessons relies as much or more on the relationship between the teacher and student as it does the information itself. Due to this I want to let you know that at Los Feliz Guitar Lessons I have been teaching professionally for over 30 years and have successfully taught students ranging from ages 4 to 70 how to play great guitar!

I’m as happy teaching absolute beginners as I am helping out fellow working professionals and deeply enjoy connecting with new students young and old(er). Serving all of Los Angeles but specifically the neighborhoods of Los Feliz, Silver Lake, Echo Park and East Hollywood. C’mon in and lets play!

I strive to meet each student exactly where they are at in life, preferring to develop a supportive relationship that meets the individual needs of each student rather than running them through a preformed script of lessons. I enjoy learning what most excites and motivates you so I can best tailor the lessons to maximize both your learning as well as your enjoyment!

As far as the material we will cover, the possibilities are practically endless; I am as psyched teaching you how to play your favorite Punk or Metal songs as I am working on reading notation and chord charts, coaching you through writing your first song or helping you to navigate the ii-V-I’s in “Giant Steps”.

I can teach you how to convincingly play Classic RockFunkMetalPunkAlternativeCountryBluesJazz and Acoustic styles. We can also work on reading music, learning music theory, learn to “play by ear”improvise solos in any style and/or delve into the craft of songwriting and composition. 

To discuss your situation further, please give Los Feliz Guitar Lessons a call or send me an email so we can schedule your first lesson 100% free. From there we can have a relaxed chat about what you are looking to achieve with your lessons and your playing. It’ll be fun! I promise!

  I purchased lessons for my husband and Joe was so professional and easy to work with. It was such a meaningful gift, wonderful lessons, and we could tell Joe had a true passion for his art and sharing it with others. Highly recommend to any age/level!

  Joe is awesome! So patient and such an incredible teacher. I came to him knowing zero about playing guitar and the amount that I have learned over the course of a year is pretty incredible. I’ve recommended at least 3 people to him and they all love him. He makes it so fun. Highly highly recommend.

  Joe is a great teacher and brings so much experience to the table. He’s super knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. I really enjoy working with him and appreciate his positive attitude. His enthusiasm for the craft is contagious and makes me excited to continue practicing and playing. I highly recommend him to anyone from beginners to advanced musicians looking to further refine their skills.
