    About John C.

    5.0
    (2)
    I have played/studied guitar for almost 15 years. As a musician I have been a part of several different bands and have played at venues all over the southeast. As a teacher I have been giving lessons for almost 10 years and have been very successful in developing techniques and strategies to enhance the skills of beginner and intermediate guitar players. I am actively involved with the event Lutheran Happening of The South for 10 years where I have served as a Musician and Director. From 2004 to 2006 I served as the lead guitarist for the Lassiter High School FCA. I studied and learned the ins and outs of music theory while I was a member of the National Championship Lassiter High School Marching band for four years. In college I was a member of the Wesley Foundation where I served as the lead guitarist for the worship team and gave guitar lessons to college students and teenagers in the community. Since 2007 I have worked on the side as a studio guitarist for musicians in the Atlanta area assisting in recording various guitar and vocal tracks. With the wide range of experience and knowledge that I bring to the table my goal is not only to teach others how to play guitar but to show them how to enjoy the art of musicianship.
