    About Gulli B.

    Guitar lessons and tutoring from award winning guitarist and composer (Tempe) Hi, my name is Gulli Bjornsson :) I'm a 26 years old guitarist and composer from Iceland! I finished my Master's degree in guitar from Yale two months ago and just moved to Tempe with my partner this month. I also hold a Bachelor of Music degree from Manhattan School of Music in New York. Since 2014, I have worked as a private guitar teacher, providing guitar lessons to students of all ages and abilities. I specialize in teaching classical, acoustic, fingerstyle, and electric guitar but I am open to any style you want to focus on! If you are new to guitar playing I will get you started with the correct technique! I get so many students who've had bad teachers that taught them incorrectly giving the students bad tension problems and awkward hands. It can be difficult to change those bad habits but with me you can be sure you will be going the right direction from the get go :) I love all sort of music and am open to all styles. If you are interested in composing your own music I can give you compositional lessons to help make your songs even greater!
