Giancarlo, guitar teacher and founder of Guitarlo Academy

Hola, I’m Giancarlo — from Peru

A musician, certified coach, and the teacher I wish I’d had.

With 20 years of experience playing guitar, I’ve performed in more than 15 cities worldwide — from five-star hotels and hip bars to trains and the streets of Cusco and Europe.

I’m also a certified coach from one of the most reputable coaching institutions in the USA. That combination lets me bring effective coaching techniques to the guitar — because talented musicians aren’t always naturally gifted teachers.

I believe music should be about playing what you love, expressing yourself freely, and having fun along the way.

I was gifted guitar lessons to learn chords, techniques, and understand the instrument better. Giancarlo's impact on my progress was tremendous. In just 10 lessons, I transitioned from knowing a few chords to confidently writing my own songs with rhythm and clean chords. My improvement surprised me, a true testament to Giancarlo's teaching abilities. He exceeded expectations with tailored techniques that matched my goals. In a world of overwhelming online resources, Giancarlo's personalized guidance sets him apart.

Giancarlo has been an absolute blessing for my 12-year-old daughter, Emilia. She has been learning with Giancarlo for over a year now, and not only have her technical skills improved so much, but her self-esteem has also grown, and she has learned how to deal with setbacks and times when she is hard on herself. Giancarlo has been like a mentor and teacher in one, and I think that is what makes a great teacher — someone who sees your strengths beyond the technical aspect.
Heike H.

Entrepreneur & coach

I have wanted to play guitar for over a decade and in that time I've had a few different teachers and it's only really lasted a few sessions because I lost interest or I got frustrated, or I felt like I wasn’t understanding the concepts well, which I took on as my own fault. And now I realize it really is important to have someone there to support the learning process, who knows how to teach and it wasn't until I met Giancarlo that I realized what it takes to be a great teacher.

Free 10-minute strumming lesson

The Golden Rule.

The key to solid, groovy strumming. Learn the “Chinese Cat hand” principle: keep your strumming hand moving so you can create and improvise strumming patterns that feel natural — not robotic.

Continuous motion creates natural groove
