About Joe

I'm Joe, and guitar has taken me to places I never expected.

Not just physically — though it has done that too — but creatively, emotionally, professionally. It opened doors I didn't even know existed when I first picked one up. And the longer I've been playing and teaching, the more convinced I am that it can do the same for anyone willing to put in the time.

I've played across a wide range of styles over the years. Not because I couldn't settle on one, but because I genuinely love how different genres pull completely different things out of the instrument — and out of you. A blues phrase hits differently than a fingerpicked folk melody. A tight funk rhythm requires a completely different mindset than a classical piece. Exploring all of that made me a better player and, I think, a much better teacher.

I work with all kinds of students. Age doesn't matter, background doesn't matter, what kind of music you love doesn't matter. What matters is that you actually want to learn — and that you show up ready to work.

About the lesson

  • All Levels
  • English

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

I structure my lessons around one simple idea: everything we do should have a clear purpose.

Not just "practice this chord" but why that chord, why now, and how it connects to what you're actually trying to play. That context is what makes things stick. It's what turns practice from something you feel like you should do into something you genuinely want to do.

We start by getting clear on where you're headed. Your favorite songs, your favorite artists, the sounds that made you want to pick up a guitar in the first place. That becomes our compass. Everything — technique, theory, ear training — gets connected back to that.

Progress is consistent and visible here. You'll know exactly what you've achieved and exactly what's next. No wandering, no wondering if you're actually improving. You will be, and you'll feel it.

  • When did you first develop a passion for music and your favorite instrument?

    I developed my passion for music when I was young after my friend gave me his guitar because he was going on a trip. I started by playing few strings and then I quickly discovered that I could make a melody out of it. So I started by learning, and then my friend figured out that I was learning the guitar, so he was kind enough to keep it with me and from there my passion for music developed.
  • Is there a particular type of music or artist that you listen to on a loop without it driving you crazy?

    Classical music is usually something that I can listen to the whole day. I like to use classical music when I'm working and I'm focused. And it's also doesn't have lyrics, so it doesn't make me focus on the lyrics, but rather I can just enjoy the music.
  • Explain to us the most difficult or riveting course you could personally give to a student of music.

    Usually music theory is the hardest thing that I can teach for students because it's too boring and it's hard to see the big picture. And so I try to make my best to teach it in a fun way and make it clear for the students why I'm teaching the music theory. Because it can get tricky sometimes.
  • What do you think is the most complicated instrument to master and why?

    Depending on what complicated means, in terms of actual complication on the instrument side, violin is one of the hardest. But then on the music theory side, you could have guitar, that involves a lot of finger exercises and a lot of theory as well. But if I were to pick one, I would say violin.
  • What are your keys to success?

    I see that across students, that the most successful ones are the ones that stay consistent, dedicated and practice. So I attribute this as the key to success in music.Mozart, Gary Moore, Aden Foyer. The reason is that this makes the perfect combination of classical music on piano, electric guitar — Gary Moore is known for this, and Aden Foyer for random style songs
  • Name three musicians you dream of meeting in your favourite bar in the early hours of the morning. Explain why.

  • Provide a valuable anecdote related to music or your days at music school.

    During music school, I once spent days trying to perfect a difficult section of a piece, and the harder I pushed, the more frustrated I became. My teacher told me to stop playing the entire piece and work on only a few notes at a very slow tempo. At first, I thought I was moving backwards, but that small change solved the problem. It taught me that patience and focused practice are often more effective than simply repeating something over and over.
  • What are the little touches that make you a Superprof in music?

    I think that you have to think in the POV of the student. If I understand something, doesn't mean the student understands it. I try to put myself in the student's shoes, ask for feedback, and continue from here
