Electric guitar - endless possibilities!
Hi, I am Pierre Jonker, passionate guitarist and guitar teacher in Utrecht. Taking electric guitar lessons for the first time, and do you want to tackle it right away? Curious to discover the countless possibilities of this magical instrument? Wish to enjoy the fun of playing all those great songs again, while boosting your technique?
What can you expect?
Your music is central to the lesson. You work on a good basic technique, fingerstyle, picking, strumming, relaxed posture, reading notes, tabs, chord knowledge, improvisation, playing solos, accompanying, songwriter, basic music theory.
Home studio in Hoograven
You are welcome to my home studio in Hoograven, Utrecht, where I give the lessons. I have different electric and acoustic guitars ( if you need one for the trial lesson) and there’s free parking in front of the house! It’s also possible to have lessons at your home!
Trial lesson
The trial lesson is the perfect opportunity to get to know each other and discuss your goals and wishes. You will get an impression of the lesson location and we will discuss the lesson times, the convenience of the strip cards, your guitar and gear, your favourite guitarists and music!
My Favourites!
Personally, I get my inspiration from listening to a.o Steely Dan, Queen, Peter Bernstein, Jim Hall and Metallica.
Jazz - Pop - Rock - Songwriter
The lessons are about the kind of music you want to play, whether it’s your own songs, the latest hits or jazz standards! Practical tips will help you improve.
Beginners
We’ll make a tailor-made lesson plan based on what you want to learn. You’ll work on building good basic technique and we’ll spend time on chord knowledge, tabs, fingerstyle, playing solos, comping, improvisation and some theory.
Advanced
You’ll start getting more out of your technique and will notice that you’re playing smoother and with more feeling. I am very versatile and I’d like to guide you to deepen and develop in all styles.

Looking for a guitar?
If you don't have your own guitar yet, you can borrow one of mine for the trial lesson, and I will help you find a good one to buy when you're ready.
Record yourself
Do you want to learn how to make your own recordings using a program like Logic? I can teach you the basics and when you’re ready for more we can dive in!
Lesson Cards
Busy with work or school and prefer to plan your lesson flexibly? That’s easy with the 5 or 10-lesson card!
About Pierre
I studied guitar at the Conservatory in Utrecht with Eef Albers. My love for jazz grew during my studies. I had lessons from Onno Kelk and Peter Bernstein. I now play in various bands and perform regularly during festivals and concerts. Besides the Roseland Quartet I play in jazz duo PierreRoos and jazz rock band Steely Fan.
