Hey there, my name is Johnny and thank you for visiting my page! From a young age, I was always steeped in music from my parents. My fondest memories are listening to Acoustic Alchemy with my mother as we drove to elementary school, and my dad playing the Grateful Dead on our way to the mountains to ski. I became interested in playing guitar at 13 and got serious by 16. At the time I was a huge fan of rock, metal, blues, and contemporary metal however, I lacked a musical understanding that was holding my playing ability back from where I was suppose to be at.

By trying to find out what inspires the student, I can successfully tailor my instruction to their wants and needs. Read More

I'm passionate about teaching and getting my students excited about learning and progressing with their instrument. I focus on a personalized curriculum, not a "one size fits all" approach. I played guitar professionally for over 10 years in California - writing, performing and touring the original music club circuit from L.A. to Sacramento including dates at the famous Whisky A Go Go in Los Angeles and The Fillmore in San Francisco.

My teaching style is to keep things relaxed while learning the discipline and focused needed to master the instrument. I teach them how music is made and structured, not just how to play songs. I teach them how to learn the songs rather than just showing them how to play it. I give them all the tools they need to be a strong musician and a profession in today's modern world. Read More

My favorite part about teaching is teaching beginners. It's so much fun to introduce a brand new instrument to someone and show them all that learning music has to offer. I mainly focus on the basics of music, and music theory in order to give students the tools they need to teach themselves when I'm not around, or if lessons have to discontinue for some reason. Once the basics of music theory have been grasped, it makes learning the technical aspects of the new instrument much faster, and easier. Read More
