Welcome
Thanks for stopping by. Please have a look around to learn a little about me and what I do.
Josh Lattanzi, multi-instrumentalist for Norah Jones and many others graduated Berklee College of Music in 1995. He has been playing professionally and teaching privately since then. He appears on albums by Norah Jones, James Taylor and The Lemonheads to name a few and has performed live with everyone from Brian Wilson to Miley Cyrus.
Since 2005, I've been helping students of all ages learn to play guitar and bass. I offer guitar lessons in Brooklyn for beginners and advanced students at our studio or online in a fun, comfortable and inspiring environment. Whether you're picking up a guitar for the first time or you've been playing for a while and are looking to break out of a rut, I can help. If you're a singer/songwriter I can help you with song structure, arrangements and performance.
IN PERSON GUITAR LESSONS

GUITAR LESSONS
FOR ALL SKILL LEVELS
Guitar Lessons for Beginner Adults
Beginner guitar lessons for adults use a combination or formal and informal methods. We'll discuss the music you're most excited to learn and get you on the road to playing actual songs as soon as possible. You'll learn the basics of chords, song structure and playing music.
Guitar Lessons for Beginner Kids
Beginner guitar lessons are the perfect way to add music to your child's schedule. I approach teaching guitar using a combination of formal and informal methods. I want students to be excited to come to their lessons and learn to play music they love while internalizing basic music literacy along the way.
INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED GUITAR LESSONS
If you've been playing for a while and need direction on where to go next, I can help. Through learning more challenging songs, I can expand your knowledge of the fretboard and move your playing forward.
WHAT I TEACH
Songs you love
Core fundamentals
Reading tabs
Traditional notation
Fingerpicking
Flat picking
Soloing
Self accompaniment
Song writing concepts
Music theory
Every student has different goals.
We'll discuss yours and custom tailor a lesson program to meet your needs.

I didn't know one thing about playing guitar when I started taking lessons from Josh. He is the best kind of teacher. He loves music, is so skilled, patient and knowledgable, teaches so well, and can tell what's going to help you move into a new level of learning but paces it so you don't get overwhelmed and give up. I returned to taking more lessons since this pandemic happened, and they have totally saved me. I'm writing songs differently, staying sane, plus get to spend an hour each week with one of my all-time favorite hangs.

Josh is seriously the BEST! He helped me guitar skills improv so quickly, and was really able to help me in the specific ways I was looking for. I'm a singer/songwriter and am MUCH more comfortable accompanying myself at shows because of our work together. My improved skills have also led me to write more interesting music! I couldn't recommend Josh's teaching enough! I am improving much more quickly than I thought possible

I’m having a total ball playing guitar again after a long hiatus and Josh’s instruction has made it so much more rewarding. He’s helped me envision the kind of player I could become and contextualizes the lessons in support of that.
