Meet James
The guitarist behind GoodGuitarist—on a mission to make learning guitar actually click for people who’ve struggled with it.
Guitar changed everything for me...
I used to be an overweight kid with no talent, no drive, no motivation… but then I picked up a guitar and everything changed.
I got a late start—learning as a young adult—and I had to work hard to make up for lost time. I taught myself, made every mistake in the book, and somehow still managed to get accepted into music school just three years after starting.
That journey is why I teach the way I do. I know what it’s like to feel stuck, and I’ve spent the last 15+ years helping others get unstuck—especially when it comes to rhythm and strumming, which I specialize in.
I used to teach full-time in-person. Now I pour everything into GoodGuitarist: courses, videos, challenges, and an amazing community of people who want to make real progress—and actually enjoy the process.
Your path starts here.
Whether you’ve just picked up a guitar or you’ve been trying for years, I’d love to help.
