About Joe Silver’s Guitar Lessons

I'm a professional guitarist and instructor, and I’ve been turning new learners into confident guitar players for over a decade. I teach music first — scales and drills second — so that you’re playing songs within a few sessions. My approach to teaching is totally adaptable for all ages and skill levels, goal-oriented, and judgement free. Improvement guaranteed after the first lesson! Cancellations and reschedules are totally flexible, but I do charge for no-call no-shows.

This is the second time I’ve taken lessons and I’d say Joe has been a great experience thus far. He’s very knowledgeable, patient and has a unique way of teaching guitar. I continue to book lessons with him and it makes practicing in my spare time enjoyable!

Joe is an awesome guitar teacher who knows how to teach at any level. He explains concepts clearly and makes even difficult ideas easy to understand. Super nice guy and very talented! Highly recommended!!

Joe is an amazing teacher! I’ve learned so much from him in a few lessons and would highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn new skills

Joe is an excellent guitar teacher! You can tell he cares a lot about music and has a passion to share his knowledge with others. I am a beginner and he has been very patient, kind, professional, and does a great job breaking things down so that they make sense for me. I would highly recommend hiring Joe if you are a beginner like me or want to fine tune your skills!

I did my first lesson with Joe and got a lot out of it from just one lesson. Im looking forward to continuing working with him and learning how to play!

Joe is a sublime technician and an innovative educator. I have had a couple experiences with guitar and other instrument instructors in the past, some good some bad. But, Joe stands alone as the most pleasurable experience in music I have had. He caters to your learning style whatever that may be. Moreover has a sense for what is fun and will move you to play more. My first lesson with him I felt I had learned years in one session and was amazed at the skills we were attempting just after a few minutes. Despite his masterful ability, you don't feel judged or lesser than by skill differences. Truly a one of a kind instructor and I am looking forward to continuing lessons with him!
