About

Guitar Chicago is a musical instruction program conveniently located on Michigan Avenue across from Millennium Park in downtown Chicago. Perfect for those working downtown, lessons are a short walk from most businesses. Instruction includes:  theory, rhythm guitar, lead guitar, song learning, and songwriting for all skill levels.

Lessons are taught in a low-stress format, typically meeting once a week for a half-hour or full-hour lesson, and follow a program developed by James based on his experiences as an instructor and his career as a touring and recording professional. Students also have the opportunity to apply their instruction by writing and recording their own songs and arrangements on professional studio equipment. Questions about guitar lessons in Chicago?
