Private Lessons with Jim Fouty - Guitar and Bass

Jim Fouty began his musical journey at the age of 12, teaching himself guitar using tablature books from classic bands spanning the 60s to the 90s. Over the years, he has refined his techniques and developed a unique ability to manipulate tone and sound.

With a passion for music of all genres—from Aphex Twin to The Velvet Underground—Jim believes every style has something valuable to offer. His expansive knowledge extends to his impressive vinyl collection, where he has spent over two decades seeking out rare gems from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

Jim’s career as a composer has seen his work licensed for global television ads, films, and web campaigns. As a performer, he has played with bands across a wide range of genres, including Indie Rock, Ambient, Heavy Psychedelic Blues, and Modern Classical.

As a teacher, Jim brings this wealth of experience to his students, fostering creativity and adaptability while tailoring each lesson to meet their unique learning needs.
