JEFF GRAHAM GUITAR INSTRUCTION
Hello! I'm Jeff Graham. I teach beginning/intermediate/advanced guitar and beginning bass guitar. I've played professionally since 1982 and have taught music since that date, as well. I'm also a certified public school teacher, so I'm aware of a variety of learning styles. I teach from my home and enjoy all aspects of guitar-oriented music: country, pop, metal, jazz, funk, rockabilly, folk, and blues. My rate is 25.00 for 45 minutes. I ask for one month (4 lessons) in advance but am flexible with cancellations and rescheduling.

ABOUT ME
​
Born in Joplin, MO. Have lived and played music in Joplin, MO, Springfield, K.C., Columbia, MO, Austin, TX, Nashville, TN, finally coming to rest in Tulsa, OK. If there's melody, some drive, a little twang, and some backbeat, it generally catches my attention.
As for teaching guitar and bass, I like everything from hard rock, blues, beginning jazz, folk, bluegrass, Bakersfield Country, to rockabilly.
