Learn to Play Guitar from a Pro
As a pro guitarist, I’ve worked with groups in all genres, from funk to jazz to metal. My goal as a teacher is to help you find your own voice on the instrument, while putting an emphasis on learning proper technique and music theory. Whether you want to play along to your favorite songs, or become a rock star, I’d love to help you meet your goals.

About Joseph M.
5.0
(3)
Whether you're a complete beginner or you're trying to make it as a pro musician, I'd like to help you meet your goals and enrich your life with music.
Hi, my name is Joseph! I'm a professional guitarist and composer with a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. I regularly perform with bands in all different genres and have been teaching for 5 years. In 2022, I released my debut album "Unleashed" with all original music. My students have gone on to perform, write their own music, and even record albums.
Topics I regularly cover with students:
- Learning to play music by ear
- Guitar technique for effortless playing
- Music theory that's easy to understand and use
- Soloing and improvisation
- Songwriting/Composition
- Audition preparation
All ages, all levels, all styles
I teach in person at my home studio in NE Portland, as well as online. Must be fully vaccinated and wear a mask for in person lessons.
