Kyle is a very patient and gifted teacher. He's been teaching me for a couple years now and I've never had a "bad" lesson. Also my demanding schedule makes it very difficult for me to make my lesson sometimes but he is understanding and has been amazing at working with me so I can make up missed lessons. I wouldn't think about going to anyone else.

Find out how I can help you with jazz guitar lessons

I have had an excellent track record coaching people who wanted to learn jazz guitar for their own enjoyment, as well as students who wanted to get into their school jazz band or prepare for a degree or career in music. 
I've been taking lessons with Kyle for a few years now, following him from Eugene to Portland. I was a classical guitar major back in college and 10 years later started taking jazz lessons with Kyle and cannot say enough good things about his guitar knowledge and teaching style. He distills all the pearls, theory, and technique he has learned about the guitar over the years into great practice advice that directly helps you play the music you want. This has helped me improve my playing much fasting then I ever could going through books and YouTube videos on my own. I'm a dad and have a full time job so practice time can be sparse. Kyle has taught me how to make the most of the practice time I have. As you hear yourself becoming a better player, he makes the guitar even more fun. Take lessons from Kyle.
