About Jacob
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view this! I have been playing guitar for most of my life and have been teaching music - from beginner, to very advanced levels - for over 20 years now. I love showing people how easy it is to learn to play, I'm very patient and I like to use each student's personal musical interests and preferences to teach. I don't have a set step-by-step approach; I structure each lesson specifically to each separate student, taking into account their unique musical goals, and how they like to learn. I want you to enjoy learning and playing guitar. I want you to feel that you're improving, not just that you're taking lessons. I'm happy to provide current student references upon request.
Teaching music is the greatest job in the world, it's wonderful to help people learn a skill that relieves stress and brings joy into their lives. Playing guitar is easy! You can simply become as good as you want to be.
I began teaching guitar back in my early 20's after working during the daytime at Guitar Center in Pasadena, CA - I've never stopped.
I have many many years of professional and private music lessons from some of the most amazing players. When I lived in Southern California I studied under a very noteworthy guitar professional, he tours the world performing with many big-name acts, and performs on television shows regularly. I also worked as his guitar-tech while living in CA.

Once we establish a day and time that will accommodate the student's schedule, I simply try to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I really believe that learning and playing guitar should be fun, that it's not as difficult as a lot of people think, and that it is a skill that can be used for the rest of one's life. Playing the guitar really does add a lot of joy, and remove a ton of stress from day-to-day living.
I've worked with people from all walks of life, very young, very old, men, women, and everything in-between. I don't see skin color or sexual orientation - If you're interested in trying the guitar out, I'll happily show you how simple it is to start playing, you'll be strumming songs in your first session.
I would advise the customer to contact me and ask any questions they might have, and to check into a few references that I would provide - if after the first session they were unsatisfied, or felt that it wasn't what they were looking for - no charge of course.
My most recent band recorded a professional album at the home of the Guns n Roses drummer in LA, it was a blast and we were very happy with the quality of the resulting record.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Anything that comes to mind regarding guitar, guitar lessons, how to find the right guitar, or even just questions about not knowing where to start -there are no bad questions. I just want the customer to feel comfortable and peaceful during our sessions; I also want them to feel that they're growing musically, not just taking lessons without really advancing their playing.

I got alot out a session and learned alot in a short time its very exciting.
Jacob is an excellent with kids. He tries to connect with them by getting to know them on a personal level. He makes sure that he is teaching to the interests of his students. Jacob really breaks down the music so that it is easier to learn. Try Jacob out- you won't be disappointed.
Jacob is a warm, patient, and friendly teacher and he makes lessons relaxed and fun. He's a talented and knowledgeable musician who lets the student set the course and the pace. I've taken lessons from other people in the past, but never made as much progress as I have with Jacob in just a few short weeks. I look forward to my lessons with him. I highly recommend him as a guitar instructor.
I've only had a few lessons with Jacob so far but it has been great! I appreciate that he is willing to work with me on songs that I want to learn. Scheduling with him has been easy and flexible which is very important to me! He has a very easy going nature and obviously enjoys playing guitar and helping others learn. I'm looking forward to continuing my lessons and would recommend him to anyone!
Great 1st lesson with Jacob, appreciate his interest in terms of my current level and what I would like to accomplish. Amazing follow up after the lesson, I have some homework assignments that I need to work on and look forward to my next lesson.
Jacob has been outstanding to work with, and really goes above and beyond help you. His passion for music and teaching really comes through, A+ person!
He is knowledgeable, reliable, and professional. He can teach in a variety of styles to help make it easier for you to learn.
I recently started guitar lessons with Jacob. I've tried to self-teach multiple times in the past but decided I needed a professional to get me beyond the walls I always hit. Jacob responded to my query quickly & got me started with a program that he is customizing to my goals. I appeciate that at the beginning & end of each lesson he confirms my comfort level & that he is matching the lessons to my goals. In addition to keeping the lessons fun, Jacob has been very responsive when I've had questions between lessons.
Jacob is a wonderful teacher! He is patient, knowledgeable, and fun to be around. He customizes the lessons to my interest, and always sent me the tabs/videos timely so that I can practice during the week. I would highly recommend Jacob to everyone, no matter what level you are at.
Jacob is a very friendly humble guitar teacher. I had a great experience with him. His teaching style is just simple perfection. You won’t regret if you choose Jacob.
A really great guitar teacher I’ve learned so much and he’s very nice I would definitely recommend him to a anyone wanting to learn guitar :)
To preface, I've had the pleasure of having 5 sessions with Jacob at the time of writing this review, and I plan to have many, many more, for as long as he'll have me as a student. Because I have to say, Jacob Hessburg is one of the most phenomenal teachers I've ever had, bar none.
I'd be hard pressed to name any other mentor I've had that is as accommodating, knowledgable, kind, and skilled in their field.
It's also easy to tell that Jacob genuinely enjoys music and teaching. I've met several teachers that just see their field as a means to an end, and they follow the same steps and curriculum for every student.
Jacob, however, has helped me build things from the ground up, easily accommodating my eclectic blend of tastes like metal and folk, and creating regiments that are very entertaining, and efficiently build my motor skills with the guitar at the same time.
I would wholeheartedly reccomend Jacob to anybody looking for a guitar and music teacher. Working with him has been one of the best learning experiences I've ever had, and very much look forward to continuing my work with him.
Hired Jacob to teach my grandsons guitar. He was very responsive, flexible and helpful. Also has great reviews. First lesson next week.
Jacob is a really fun guy to have teaching you the guitar. He adapts really well to what you’re interested in learning. I was using an app program for about 6-7 months before deciding a music teacher would help and I wasn’t wrong.
Jacob has been adding to what I have already learned and giving a much more in-depth explanation of things than a non personalized app ever could. He has done a great job building off what I know, and showing me what direction I can take things.
After my first lesson he provided me with great feed back and practice routines to work on before our following meeting. I booked a month out with him so far and will continue to work with him in the future. Five stars! Thanks Jake! I enjoy the heck out of your lessons.
Had one lesson with Jacob and I really enjoyed it and had a great time. Jacob is a very good teacher can’t wait to have more lessons he is the guitar SenseiJacob is engaging and really cares about how his students learn.
