John Borghardt

John has been playing guitar and bass since 1979. He’s studied bass guitar with Percy Jones (Brand X) and Jerry Jemmott (B.B. King, Aretha Franklin) and has been a member of several NY metropolitan area rock, blues, folk & alternative bands. He has taken part in many recording sessions and has extensive gigging experience.

In 2003 he began studying classical guitar with several noteworthy teachers and soon after added jazz theory, improvisation and technique to his diverse repertoire. John is a lover of music from many styles from classical to metal, jazz to EDM, and more!

John has learned from his many teachers that a love of playing brings about the greatest progress, and helping the student find that is paramount.
