Wanna Jam?
Do you love music and wish you could play your favorite songs but think that only the “special talented people” can do it? It seems like Eric Clapton just popped out of the womb as a guitar god and, since you weren’t born knowing how, you figure it’s a done deal.
Guitar 1 Video Lesson
I’ve been teaching music to people of all ages since the 80s and I know that anyone who wants to can learn. Even people who think they’re too busy, tone deaf or have no talent.
In this series, you'll learn everything you need to go from zero to playing the guitar. In each lesson you'll learn the technique and theory in the context of playing a song; it's easier and way more fun that way.
At a first guitar lesson or class, I always tell people that by the end they’ll be able to play 3 chords and slowly but surely make their way through a song. Most people look at me like I’m high when I say that. Then they experience the fact that they’re wrong and do a happy dance. I'd love for you to have this experience.
I think you're a revelation.
"Such an excellent writer and a performer. AND you can teach!"

Her first class really de-mystified guitar.
"I had literally no idea what I was doing in the first few classes, but Janet was aware and was sure to address all the discouraging roadblocks that beginners face. Her first class was so simple and really de-mystified guitar."
— Tim Fater (student at the Passim School of Music)
Rhégina Sinozich
