Joseph (Joe) is a great teacher because he always makes sure to teach me in a way that will make me better while also including my personal interests. He is always there on time and is ready to notify me if anything changes. Joe always works with me to help my schedule work, and I can always go to him for questions and concerns regarding technical aspects of guitar playing. I have been working with Joe for years now, and I have no doubt become a better player because of him.

Joe Barret is an excellent choice for guitar instruction at any level with more than 20 years of experience and being educated with a degree. He’s the perfect choice whether it be scales modes or Peggio’s chords or any instruction you may need at any age group Joe Barret is the guy for the job. He said many years teaching experience with McFadden music in Greenville North Carolina . You would do very well to have him as your instructor. I would highly recommend Joe for anyone at any level!

Joe has been teaching my son guitar lessons for over a year. He is an amazing instructor! He is patient, kind, considerate, and a wealth of knowledge. We love Joe!

Joseph is not only a great teacher, he is a great person with a passion for all that he does in sharing the joy of music with others. Along with being exceptionally knowledgeable as well as patient, He has a great gift in connecting with his students, making information he presents easily accessible and understandable. Although there are many that have a great wealth of knowledge in music, there are considerably less that have the unique gift that he posseses of articulating that to others.
Along with being classically trained, he has extensive practical experience and understanding in most genres and formats of music, performance in band and solo settings, and studio work.
He is an amazing teacher and an absolute asset to the musical community.
