Experienced guitar teacher available for eager beginning students of all ages! I structure my lessons so students learn what they want to learn, while also building a strong foundation of musical skills. I taught myself to play guitar in high school, so just know the basics. I played keyboards, my main instrument, in several rock bands, so know some blues and rock riffs that could transfer well to guitar. I enjoy helping people to find the fun in playing guitar!

Howdy,
I've been teaching 8 years. Some of my students have gone on to start and join bands and begin producing their own music. I customize lessons to fit your goals. I keep the lessons fun by working on learning songs that you like while also learning the tools of theory that apply to the song. You'll go home with handouts for practice and reference. I look forward to meeting you!

I can teach you how to play guitar at a simple basic level for songwriters. No reading music, no advanced skills. Just simple power chords so you can play any pop song and write your own songs before having a producer come in and complicate your music.... or make it sound more full.

Whether you want to learn a few songs, improve your chops or all-out shred, your lessons are designed to get your playing where you want it to be. Your lesson plan will be custom-tailored to your ability and geared toward your goals as a guitarist.

Hey guys! My name is Jered and I'd love to be a guide on your guitar journey. I've been playing for 20 years, have a BA in Music and Recording Technology, and currently play in a rock band in Portland, OR. I have taught students of all ages and all skill levels. My first love is rock, but I have studied classical, blues, country, metal, pop, funk and dabbled in a little jazz.

If you'd like to chat or have any questions just shoot me a message and I'll get back asap :)

Thanks for checking out my profile and I hope to hear from you soon.

I have taught a guitar class in the past. I engage with the students on a personal level to help them learn in the ways they know how. I mainly know rhythm guitar but I know how to teach picking as well.
