Jimmy has been teaching my teenage son guitar for the past nine months, and I’m happy to say that I’ve seen tremendous improvement. Jimmy is respectful, patient, and easygoing. It’s amazing to see how quickly my son has progressed, and Jimmy has even helped him rediscover his love for playing bass when his interest had started to fade.

About Jimmy McElravy
So you’re looking for a guitar teacher! Maybe you’re trying to get to that next level of playing. Maybe your fingers keep going to the same positions, and you’d like to understand exactly how to navigate the guitar. Maybe you’d just like to strum on your favorite songs around a campfire. In any case, I’ve been teaching guitar professionally for over 10 years and have worked with all ages. I have enjoyed offering students lesson plans and roadmaps to their specific goals, from the absolute basics, to to the most nuanced of technique. As a professional musician, I’ve played and toured with bands, and understand not only how to build good habits, but what works in a band situation as well. I’ve taught people from all backgrounds and even tutored students in all subjects at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. (As well as graduating there myself). Whether you’d like to learn ear training, theory, songwriting, improvisation, any style, I can be your guide to your goals. Feel free to reach out about any questions as wel. hank you!

Jimmy is a legend! I went through a rotation of instructors that seemed to have a “one size fits all” type of approach. Once I found Jimmy, he listened to what I was looking for, then gaged where I was musically and pretty much created a plan tailored to me. He’s made this whole experience enjoyable and has boosted my confidence to whole other level. Look no further if you’re feeling hopeless. Thank you, bro!!
Jimmy’s a great teacher and I’d recommend him to anyone learning guitar or trying to improve their skills. At our first lesson last year I was only studying guitar for about a year and struggling with classes in jazz guitar at my local city college. I’ll be graduating next semester now and Jimmy helped improve my technical skill level and understanding of music theory to where I can handle the classes even given the short amount of time I’ve been playing guitar.
I just had my first lesson with Jimmy after playing for a year and I can already see improvement! The lesson was so fun and I learned a ton. I’d recommend him to anyone!
Jimmy is an excellent guitar instructor for my 10 year old son! He is very personable, highly skilled, very talented, and extremely professional!! My son loves him ever since his first lesson and is excited every time he has his guitar lesson! He has a way of getting kids engaged and excited about music. I highly recommend jimmy without reservation! We are lucky and very thankful to have him as a guitar teacher!
Jimmy is great with our 10 year old! Very professional and patient.
Jimmy is the absolute man - and a great teacher. I’ve been stuck at an intermediate guitar stage not knowing how to improve or conquer the learning curve to improve my playing, and he’s made that learning curve understandable and enjoyable. Highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who wants to improve quickly.
Jimmy is great! Very knowledgeable in his craft and friendly. Looking forward to all he has to teach me 🤙🏽
Jimmy has a deep knowledge of guitar and a relaxed teaching style. I've been playing guitar a long time, but struggle with soloing. I've already made improvements in just a few lessons. If you want to get better on guitar, Jimmy can help you.
My 8 yo son enjoys his guitar lessons with Jimmy. He is responsible and very professional! Highly recommend!
