Ukulele Lessons

Jerry is a great guitar teacher with an expansive knowledge of music. Each lesson is enjoyable and constructive, building upon the past material. He can teach the basics of music theory for beginners, and can also branch out into the complexities of blues, rock and jazz. I highly recommend him!

Over the years I’ve had the unique pleasure of working with some of the best guitar players in the music business. Jerry is definitely in that class and his peers will concur. To have that gem of talent teaching here in the Bay Area is NoCal’s best kept secret. Add to that his “nice guy” demeanor and I’m sure he’s one of the best teachers there is. I heard proof of this when I saw a concert one of his students played in last year. The boy was shredding and Jer took him on as a beginner! Can’t say enough great things about Jerry, but I think I can sum it up in one word. Talent!

My lessons with Jerry Baiden were monumental in helping me evolve as a guitarist!

There are things that Jerry opened my ears (and mind and fingers) to 20 years ago that I think about just about every time I pick up a guitar. In fact, I still have some of the notes he wrote out for me back in the day. I remember one week I’d go in and work on funk rhythm playing, then the next it’d be arranging Charlie Parker solos for guitar. He custom tailored each lesson and made it fun and challenging. Looking back, I was very lucky to have had such a patient and versatile teacher.

The icing on the cake is that he’s a great guy and monster musician too!
