Testimonials from previous students

  • Joseph is not only a really skilled guitarist, he is also a dedicated teacher who focuses on disciplined practice through conscious guitar playing.

    Joseph gives the scales, chord-voicings, modes etc. Context by linking them together early on in the learning process, which makes it easier to put to use in your own musical vocabulary while improvising and gives you great tools for analyzing music.

    You feel comfortable in your own playing because Joseph is great at finding what skill level you are on which really helps when finding what the next challenging thing to learn would be. This makes you progress more and more for each lesson.

    -Felix

  • I had been following Joseph's work for quite some time and saw he was offering lessons, so I jumped at the opportunity. He is very thorough and precise on what exactly needs to be learned to accelerate your playing. I wanted someone that could dissect my playing and pinpoint what I needed to improve on. Not only was he able to do that, but had in depth printouts and pdf's for those exact things. On top of that, he's patient and down to earth. All things you'd want in a teacher.

    - Garett

  • Joseph is one of my favorite guitarists and possibly the best guitar teacher you can find on the internet. He offers not just guitar lessons, but a comprehensive education in all aspects of music, including music theory, playing techniques, the evolution of musical styles, recording, equipment, and more. Learning from him is more about improving your overall musical literacy than just learning to play the guitar. His teaching style is highly innovative, capable of sparking your interest in the guitar and enhancing your creativity, not just your guitar-playing skills.

    - Shaun

  • Joseph is not only one of my favorite guitarists but is also a highly skilled teacher and can take any individual and give them a much stronger direction of how to be a more intentional/diverse player.
    When I started taking lessons with Joseph, I was in an intermediate rut where I felt my playing/creativity was starting to plateau. I can confidently say since working with Joseph not only has my knowledge of all musical aspects vastly improved, but I am the most motivated I’ve been to be better at my instrument and apply my newfound knowledge.
    Joseph is not only an excellent teacher, but he is also an all around chill dude who is patient and is down to answer any question you may have relating to music, gear, technique, (etc.)
    I recommend Joseph as a teacher to anyone at any level who wants to forward their playing and strive to find their own voice on the guitar.

    - Hunter

  • Having ZERO music education and basically no practice with fundamentals, Joseph painstakingly held my hand without judgement as I struggled with the fundamentals. I am still far from where I would like to be, but Joseph was able to meet me where I am at and give me a speed run of basic music theory, mixing and mastering and get me started with the tools I need to truly UNDERSTAND basic music. Real ground breaking stuff for me. Really chill dude, masterclass knowledge, and fun to hang with.

    - Matt

  • Before taking lessons with Joseph, I felt my guitar playing hit a hard ceiling that I tried for awhile to conquer with YouTube tutorials, reddit threads, forums, etc. Joseph efficiently conveyed chords, modes, rhythm, and songwriting in a way that was intuitive and immediately effective. I started playing guitar 15 years ago, and in the months we spent together I have improved at a rate that simply would have been impossible otherwise.

    I would have never thought I would enjoy learning a solo by ear or meticulously analyzing chord progressions for fun, but Joseph's clear passion for the instrument and craft of guitar is inspiring and infectious, and I am very grateful for the opportunity to have crossed paths and had his help in learning not only the skills, but the mentality to grow and continue to grow beyond lessons into a well rounded musician.
