  • Testimonials

    "I started guitar lessons with Jimmy this year as a beginner and it's a lot of fun. He is a chill & nice person that I like being around. Jimmy is a really good musician himself, and has helped me get a lot better too. I like that he lets me choose songs that I like, for us to practice with and learn. He teaches me about playing the guitar (chords and stuff), but also teaches me about music in general. I would recommend Jimmy as a guitar teacher to any kid that wants to improve as a musician." Max, age 14
