Hola, I’m Giancarlo
A musician and certified coach.
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.

Testimonials
Progress you can hear. Confidence you can feel.
“
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.

“
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.
