Hello! I teach Guitar and Bass. If you are interested in learning or developing your skills further, I can help. I also consult. If you need help with a specific technique, song writing, or playing on your recordings, I can help with suggestions. My teaching style is customized for each student and is based on encouragement and carefully analyzing what you need to reach your goals. I share tips on how to practice and motivate yourself. I teach most styles of music and specialize in Jazz. Reading music notation is vital if you or your child is involved in school jazz band or orchestra. Feel free to contact me. Let’s chat. I love teaching and sharing my music experiences and seeing my students excel.



I am currently teaching and consulting online with Skype and Zoom.

Lessons at my home studio in Los Altos, CA

John Epp



I started teaching Guitar and Bass in 1975 and I have performed in the San Francisco Bay area since 1966. Teaching, sharing, being a mentor to my students is my first and best calling. My students benefit from a lifetime of experiences in these fields. I give each student a customized lesson that will bring you closer to your goals. If you are serious and want a more formal, traditional education in music, we can do that. With a little splash of humor, I can make it fun for you. I am an encouraging type of teacher with lots of patience and work well with kids and seniors of all ages. I teach reading notation and tabs, school jazz band charts, music theory, ear training, improvisation. All styles. If you have specific songs, tunes, or techniques you would like to learn, we can do that! My favorite styles are jazz, rock, blues...well...everything. I also teach and play finger style solo guitar. Some of my favorite musicians are Bill Evans, Charlie Parker, Tal Farlow, Joe Pass, John Coltrane, Jeff Beck, Jaco Pastorius, Wayne Krantz, Miles Davis, Ron Carter, Duke Ellington, Wes Montgomery, George Benson, Chet Atkins, and thousands more. I have been under the guidance of so many great musicians, teachers, professors, conductors, recording engineers, and would love to share my life experiences with you.
