About Long Island Guitar Teacher

Hi my name is Jaf and I am a guitar and bass instructor. I’ve worked with hundreds of students of all ages for over 30 years, teaching genres such as rock, classic rock, metal, blues, funk, classical and jazz. Music theory is also a big focus. You’ll be able to write your own riffs and songs in no time. I’m friendly, comfortable to be around, and patient, making lessons enjoyable, but still serious enough to make sure you are learning a lot. I’ll have my students playing parts of their favorite songs on our first lesson. Making music is empowering and is to be enjoyed. That’s always been my goal, to make sure my students feel the same joy I feel when I play.

I hired Jaf to teach my nine year old son Robbie to play guitar and I couldn't be happier with the choice. Jaf has a great soft-spoken but enthusiastic teaching style that has really connected with Robbie. In just over a couple months he is now peeling off the riffs for a half dozen of his favorite songs and is even tacking the solo on one of them. Jaf's lessons have lit a fire that has led him to practicing the guitar every day now and it's been so much fun to have his music house. I highly recommend Jaf to anyone looking for lessons.

I was able to get in touch with Jaf very quickly and he was able to accommodate the lesson times that I wanted. Our first lesson went great. He asked me a lot of good questions on what I wanted out of the lessons. It's great to have an instructor that can adapt to my style.

Jaf is a great teacher and a cool dude. He can work with you on anything you are trying to learn on guitar and is very patient and professional. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher to get me to where I want to be on my instrument.
