About Brian
Welcome! My name is Brian Tuning and I have 30years of music experience in which 21 of those years I have spent as a guitar/piano instructor. I have been professionally trained in Classical, Jazz and Blues. However, my personal preference is hard rock and melodic metal. I went to school for music performance in guitar mastery and minor in piano.
I do read notation, tablature and have a very good understanding of Music Theory. I gear my lessons according to what the student is interested in learning. Whether that be songs to jam to or shredding along with your favorite jams.
I have been nominated awards of one of the top guitarists in NY, although I have recently moved to CA. I have SAMMY awards for best performing artist and best hard rock band as well.
I am very personable, great sense of humor and teach students starting at age 4 years old.
Please feel free to message me and inquire about any other info. Looking forward to meeting my future students in helping them achieve their music goals!
Not only learning and overcoming musical challenges is fun for me but I enjoy the connection with each student and what they bring to the overall experience.
I have a total of 10 years of professional schooling/classes. As well as a grand total of 21 years of taking, teaching lessons and learning for myself. This would include ear training, guitar/piano lessons, fretboard harmony, music theory and much more.

Reviewing/asking about background. What genre and style they enjoy or would like to learn. I make it a very enjoyable learning process where not only is it fun but the student is constantly engaged in the work. Also, I get a bit more creative in having my students involve techniques using left and right hand exercises for precise accuracy when playing.
I have worked with many students from all different backgrounds and music taste. From classical to jazz and metal. Some like country, some enjoy folk. The ability to meet my students where they are at and watching them grow and expand their knowledge while playing is one of the great rewards on my end.
I’d advise a methodical and productive practice routine in different categories such as Scales, chords, right hand left hand technique and covering different challenging areas of songs.
I have branched out to become the sought after guitar instructor of CA currently. Amazing to be recognized for not just my own style but my approach to giving back in helping people learn.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out

Brian has been an amazing guitar teacher for my son. He is patient, encouraging, and truly knows how to connect with kids. My son looks forward to every lesson and has gained so much confidence along with real guitar skills. Brian explains things clearly, keeps lessons engaging, and tailors them to my son’s interests and pace. We’ve seen steady progress, and most importantly, my son genuinely enjoys learning music. I highly recommend Brian to any parent looking for a skilled and supportive guitar instructor.
