LESSONS
Are you a beginner or self – taught guitarist looking to get out of a musical rut, and expand your skills? Or are you a long time rock/blues guitarist who wants to learn jazz improvisation and theory?
I can help you! I’m an Associate Professor of Guitar at Austin Community College, and I have over 20 years of teaching experience. I’ve taught students who have been accepted to music programs at the University Of North Texas, the University of Southern California, and Berklee College of Music.
I enjoy teaching beginners as well as advanced players, and can help you with jazz, rock, blues, acoustic, and classical styles. So whether you want to learn Wes Montgomery or Motley Crue, SRV or Segovia, I can help you with your musical goals!
Please email me for lesson times and pricing.

TESTIMONIALS:
“Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the lessons, I'm looking forward to more!
I realized you've shown me around 10+ standards, and for each, I have a melody, chords and one of your solos memorized (and for about half of them I've tried to transcribe a few solos from records and steal lines) and I run through all ten about every day so they stay current. But it's been great, I've been able to "jam" with some of my musician jazz buddies and felt comfortable with those tunes, and so it's been really cool.
Also, it's helped with my country/rock guitar gigs because of all the scale/arpeggio drills and assignments, and it's changed the way I see the fretboard and made my workflow for my other gigs much faster. Along with the triad drills and cycle five stuff- that's helped me recycle licks for the longer gigs.” -Richie
“You’re an awesome teacher, and while it might not show with my playing in our lessons, when I’m on my own practicing / noodling around, I’m finding I’m not only playing better, I’m listening and hearing better too, and in a sense that is even more important to me than anything.” - Jeff
“Hello Professor Wise, hope all is well. I’m currently in my third semester here at Berklee and I must say, taking your Jazz Combo class (twice) at ACC was the best thing I did in preparation to come here. Thanks to your practical “working musician” approach to teaching, the harmony (theory) classes here have been a breeze.” - Adam
“Thanks again for the outstanding lesson, Jacob! I came away with the conviction to work hard at this, and I can't wait to learn more! Early in the lesson I mentioned how I felt like my personal attempts at learning some of this stuff had been overwhelming--and you did a wonderful job of demystifying things in the sense that I have an actual, guided path to walk now. I've never cared that there's a lot to know, memorize, and practice--I just never knew where to focus!” - Ryan
“Thanks for the great lesson yesterday. So many tidbits of great import: where to pick fast, line structure, seeing chord shapes that correspond to lines, on and on. I would never progress without your so clearly showing me the roadmap.” - Russ
“Professor Wise goes above and beyond to help his students improve and learn. I’ve done Jazz Combo for two semesters now, and he has helped me so much more than I could imagine. During first semester, I was frustrated, as I thought I wasn’t improving nor knew what I needed to do to get better, but Professor Wise really took the time to explain the process, what to start working on.” - Justin
“For decades, I was a self-taught guitarist, stuck in the beginner’s zone. My wife gave me the gift of a few guitar lessons with Jacob Wise for my 50th birthday, and that transformed my playing. Over the next seven years, Jacob helped me evolve from a mediocre player to a solid intermediate jazz guitarist. With his guidance, I gained the knowledge and understanding necessary to continue improving my skills and proficiency without getting stuck.
Jacob Wise is an exceptional player and a gifted teacher. When the pandemic forced us to switch to online lessons, I was impressed by how smoothly Jacob adapted. His lessons remained organized and tailored to my needs, even more so in a virtual format. Every session is followed by a detailed email with multiple PDFs, MP3s, and demonstration videos Jacob created in the lesson.
What truly sets Jacob apart is his flexibility and broad understanding of different genres and guitar styles. He’s adept at shifting focus to match your interests and always meets you where you are in your musical journey. Above all, Jacob’s patience, and thoughtfulness shine through. He recognizes that each student is on their own path and is dedicated to helping them progress to the next level.” - Grant
