Jim Maguire Music

I'm in my mid-thirties and haven't played guitar in nearly 20 years. I wanted to get back into playing, but I didn't want to go the traditional route with the endless volumes of books.
I wanted a program custom tailored to my personal goals. I explained to Jim that I wanted to focus on song writing. Specifically, the fundamentals, how and why. I’m only a couple of months in now and I’ve learned to write my own chord progressions, leads, improvise, and most importantly I understand the concepts behind what I’m learning. My passion for guitar has never been greater, thanks Jim!

My 6.5 year old has been taking remote guitar lessons with Jim for over a year. His love for all types of music is infectious and he consistently brings the perfect balance of enthusiasm, humor, and patience to every lesson. We highly recommend Jim McGuire’s music classes!

Jim is an awesome teacher and human being. I’ve been fortunate enough to take lessons from him for the past 7 years. I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and my playing skills and creativity have increased dramatically. Jim has also given lessons to my children as well. So whether your an experienced musician or a beginner I couldn’t recommend Jim Maguire enough.

Jim is a great guitar teacher and player. I have been taking lessons from Jim for years. He has worked with me on many different styles and songs. Jim is very versatile with his playing and musical tastes. It’s been a lot of fun.

Jim is an incredible musician AND guitar teacher. He has the personality and temperament that allows for instruction without judgement and provides the perfect environment for learning. For me, learning to play guitar with Jim as my teacher, has been a positive and rewarding experience. I recommend him without reservation.
