Experienced tutor in Guitar, Jonathan offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I saw Jon for lessons for about 2 years, after being self taught for a few months. At first he had taught me how to play easier songs, like the trooper or iron man, and taught me how to play more advanced songs. He was able to teach me how to play other styles of music as well. He is patient and can explain things in a way that is easy to understand. After learning from him, I enjoy guitar more, since he taught me how to actually play, and how to learn. and I can teach myself most songs since he also taught me the actual techniques of playing guitar too.

Jon meets you where you’re at. He listens to you and helps you reach your goals with no pressure. Learning guitar for the first time in my life was easy with Jon.

I first picked up a guitar in 1961 and learned to play from books and friends. I’ve continued to play ever since, mostly by myself with little knowledge of the fretboard or music basics. Essentially, I did not improve for 60 years.

Enter Jon Chorba.

I found Jon on an internet search. His new student offer was fair to both of us. On our first meeting, I presented a list of things that I wanted to learn. Among these I wanted a foundation in music theory, basic strumming and picking skills. I wanted to make friends with the entire fretboard from nut to the soundhole and play up and down the neck on breaks and solos.

It was obvious from Jon’s excitement as I went through my list of goals that I had picked a good teacher. As a person, Jon is open and friendly. As a teacher he is knowledgable, professional and patient. He listens very carefully to his students and understands not only what they say, but also the nuances of what they can’t quite express. He has the gift of leading students to lead themselves.

Before Jon left Texas I had accomplished my goals and had begun on new ones. I’ve kept up Jon’s daily practice routines. Recently, I joined a Bluegrass Music club and am playing regularly with others and utilizing skills I would never have attained without my time with Jon.

I also have a far deeper understanding and love for the guitar than I had before I started lessons. I find a renewed excitement in music as I draw lovely sounds out of my guitars from places that I never explored before. I have greater confidence in my playing. My untutored friends are envious. Lessons can open up a whole new world for the youngest student or even old dogs like me.

Thank you Jon.

Jon met me where I was and worked a plan with me to rapidly accelerate my lead guitar skills and understanding of the musical theory behind what I was doing. This knowledge and skill development allowed me to go places I had never imagined I would be able to go with my playing. I simply cannot say enough about Jon's ability to teach, coach and encourage.

Jon is an excellent teacher. What I appreciate most is that he takes time to teach you HOW TO LEARN guitar. With enough time, I suppose any teacher can show you how to play a song or a chord. Jon teaches you how to practice and how to learn guitar. He can accurately troubleshoot in an instant. He's also patient and offers really insightful, helpful information that comes only from a teacher with lots of experience.

Jon has helped me become the guitar player that I've always wanted to be. From technique, theory, and overall music wisdom, there is no better teacher for blues / rock guitar.

Besides being an awesome and friendly guy he teaches guitar so any beginner can process and understand.

Our daughter enjoyed Jon's classes so much! She learned how to play the guitar in a fun and unique teaching style!
