If you've always wanted to learn guitar or you've been playing guitar for a while and you're stuck in your progress, I can help you.

For over 30 years I have had the pleasure of teaching hundreds of students at every level: young and old, beginner students, advanced students and even pro-level players. I teach out of my home studio as well as a local music store in Henry County, Georgia. I also also occassionally give online lessons by Skype to advanced players.
Hello and thanks for visiting here! My name is Jimmy Cruz. I'm an Atlanta-area musician, primarily an electric and acoustic guitarist and instrumental music composer as well as a professional guitar instructor. You might have linked here from watching one of my YouTube videos, or found me in a Google search or from my Guitar Lesson website while investigating me as a prospective guitar teacher.
I have always loved creating music. Even from the very beginning of learning how to play guitar, I would tinker with putting notes and rhythms together to birth new sounds. Music to me is almost like listening to a story being told which is why it's always fascinated me. I constantly hear random musical ideas in my head which I will eventually work to bring it to life.

Jimmy Cruz
Guitar Instructor
Originally from NY, I relocated to Atlanta, GA in 1982. Music had always been a big part of my life since I was 10 years old. I've had many years of formal training with some incredible guitar teachers. I credit those teachers for introducing me to many different styles of music and influencing me to always be a student of music. I've studied Jazz guitar with Charles LeVerne, Tony Campo, and Bob Shaw. All were top-flight jazz artists with decades of experience. I also studied other styles with a number of other guitar instructors as well.

I was very fortunate to have been surrounded by many talented musicians in NY which gave me the opportunity to cut my teeth performing in varied musical situations. I've played guitar for over 40 years and taught for over 30 years.

I have had a great time learning the guitar with Jimmy Cruz. He is personable, patient and above all else, one heck of a teacher. His teaching method works well for me as an adult learner and I always look forward to my next lesson. Sometimes it's the highlight of the week :-

Jim Cruz is a phenomenal guitar instructor. My daughter has been taking lessons for 2 years and she thoroughly enjoys her lesson each week. It's VERY apparent that Mr Cruz has a true love for teaching guitar. Jim Cruz comes highly recommended!
