About Me

I have been a professional guitar player for 30 years plus. My influences run the gamut from Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix to current players like Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughn, and David Grissom. I have 2 Cd's out that sell on all the digital networks such as Itunes and have been actively playing and promoting them in live shows from Austin, Texas to Southern California and now Portland, Oregon. I teach most genres of guitar from rock to fingerstyle acoustic, pop, and of course my favorite, blues and roots guitar. My teaching philosophy is to first make sure the student is able to have some fun on the instrument and to fill in the technical and theory details as we go. I teach advanced soloing theory such as scales and modes and arpeggios as well as just a simple song if that's what the student wants.

James G has over 30+ years of music experience in the Lake Oswego area.

James G is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons, Bass Guitar Lessons .
