**Professional Guitar Lessons on the Central Coast**
Learn from a real gigging musician — relaxed, practical, and fun.
**Hi, I’m Timi Johnson**
I’m a full-time professional guitarist based at Chittaway Point on the Central Coast. I perform regularly with bands as a session player for many shows such as Boney M, TheEagles Tribute, 80s to the max, Inxs and Bon Jovi tribute shows plus many covers and solo acoustic gigs.
With over 20 years of experience playing live and teaching, I’ve helped many adults and beginners go from complete beginners to confidently playing real songs. My teaching style is relaxed, encouraging, and focused on **getting you playing music you love** — not just boring exercises.
