Hi my name is Josh and I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and have been teaching for more than a decade. I have a lot of experience as a working rock and jazz guitarist and am highly proficient in both styles.

I’ve been playing the guitar for twenty-eight years now, and studied with a variety of teachers including Bob Ferguson (a classical guitarist) and Michael Harris (a platinum selling metal guitarist). I began teaching guitar lessons when I was a sophomore at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio.

Teaching private lessons for 15 years, my students have ranged in age from six to eighty years old. I work with beginning to advanced guitarists. Everyone, elementary students, hobbyists, singer-songwriters, and performing musicians are welcome in my studio. My goal as a teacher is to help students of all levels improve with their weekly lessons.
