Online Banjo & Guitar Lessons in Atlanta
For 17 years, I have dedicated myself to helping students master the banjo, acoustic guitar, and fiddle through personalized online instruction. My teaching philosophy focuses on equipping students with the skills to become self-sufficient musicians, drawing from my extensive performance experience at venues like Carnegie Hall and The Grand Ole Opry. With a background in jazz improvisation and classical composition, I tailor lessons to individual goals, whether you're a beginner or an advanced player.My online courses and resources, including banjo TABs and instructional videos, are designed to provide accessible, high-quality education. I combine decades of stage experience with a passion for mentoring, ensuring students gain both technical proficiency and artistic confidence.

Jody was beyond expectations with his music at my son's rehearsal dinner last weekend. I knew I wanted to hire him based on his samples I found on a website. He reached out prior to th event to take personal requests - of which he accomodated all of them! You will NOT be disappointed!

Terrific opportunity to learn the banjo - Jody is like none other and he will save you a great deal of time. As an example, I showed Jody a chord chart and he stated that that chart was a complete waste of time - and he was right. An instructor this great will save you loads of time and get you there faster. DO IT.
