Voicing

Finally putting together (pentatonic) scales, positions, voicings, and hopefully, one day soon leads. I learned more theory, that I can actually use, in one session with Justin than years with other instructors.

great teacher, very knowledgeable and damn good

Justin helped me with jazz theory concepts and outlined a good practice plan. He was very patient and tailored the lesson plan to my specific goals as a guitar player.

Worth Every Penny

You want someone who's competent, can model difficult concepts and then break them into fundamental exercises, has songs to reinforce what you've learned? This is him. Save your time and money by investing in this teacher.

Patient and VERY knowledgable

Justin took me through some basics of pentatonic major and minor fingerings, moving between them and then some variations of chords to use in A blues including D7 and E7 as well as D9 and E9. Justin also gave me some suggestions on how much to practice, a good practice routine, and we covered a number of other topics as well. Overall, Justin is an EXCELLENT guitar instructor and is easy to work with. Justin, THANK YOU and I look forward to talking with you soon!
