Meet Nicholas, a Guitar Coach in Summit, New Jersey.

Hi, I’m Nicholas. I play and teach fingerstyle guitar. Some say it’s the most challenging method of playing the instrument, but I say it’s the most worth learning. I can learn songs quickly, so if there’s a song you’d like to know, I could teach that, too. My goal is to teach aspiring guitar players the ability to sound how they’d want to sound on the instrument.
