Meet the Instructor

Hi! My name is JT Chimento, a born-and-raised Charleston local with over 15 years of experience playing and teaching guitar. Whether it's a weeknight playing at the Windjammer, or in my home studio writing songs, I am always surrounding myself with music and want to share it with the rest of the world. I play almost every genre under the sun, but my favorites are soft rock and alternative.

I know firsthand it can be frustrating at first to pick up the guitar and learn the basic fundamentals, and that's why I'm here to help. Whether it's just a few chords you want to learn, or aspire to play live sessions/record music, I want to help you achieve your music goals.
