James Hill

Hi, I'm James and I am a Berklee-educated guitarist in both classical and metal guitar. I have taught myself the jazz and blues fundamentals. I have also taken online classes in music theory. I have been playing guitar since 2019 and I started teaching around the end of 2022. I have wanted to be a guitarist since I was a child, and I have always had an affinity for teaching others. I have, over my few years of teaching experience, crafted a unique and engaging way of teaching that makes the process as painless as possible. I am primarily a metal guitarist with classical and jazz influences, but I have a love for many different genres of music, and I am willing to teach anything you are willing to learn. I have played as a lead guitarist in many small local bands, but as of now, I am not in a band. I am looking forward to teaching you all and passing on my guitar and music theory knowledge.
