I’ve been playing music professionally for decades — and the journey started early. Here I am at just 8 years old, sitting in with none other than Albert King! Since then, I’ve had the honor of sharing the stage with legends like Jimmie Vaughan, Eric Johnson, B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Gary Clark Jr., Otis Rush, and many more, and releasing many solo albums through the years as well.
These icons didn’t just inspire me — they shaped how I play, how I think about the fretboard, and how I teach. I’ve soaked up knowledge directly from the best, and now I’m ready to pass it on to you.
But it’s not just about playing — I’ve spent two decades teaching students of all levels, refining a method that actually works. I know what clicks, what sticks, and how to make complex theory feel simple and usable.

There are zero degrees of separation between him and some of the greatest blues players of all time. His teaching style is really encouraging - as he says: “Keep pushing.” In the short time that I’ve been working with Jake, I’ve gone from playing licks and short sections of songs, often with no direction, to playing complete songs, from the likes of Freddie King, Albert King, and Stevie Ray Vaughan. - Steve P.
"Now that is a blues masterclass. That guitar has such a thick but biting tone, love it."
"Best lesson I've seen on YouTube hands down stories and all."
"Jake you are channeling the spirit of the great Albert King with your amazing playing! I predict this video will become the benchmark on how to play this iconic blues tune! Love your stories of your run ins with these blues gods."
"Incredible! Love your style. Most lessons just focus on box 2. You really opened up the whole fretboard with this lesson. Some of these licks are pure killer! Never seen them in any other Albert King lesson. Thank you so much for sharing."
"The definition of a bad ass, swagger, and cool all rolled into one. He is bad and nationwide."
