My name is Ioannis Tsantilis. I was  born in Larissa Greece and I have been playing guitar from the age of 14. Later on studied in Modern School of Athens and at the age of 17 I started performing professionally as a Guitarist in music events, theaters and music festivals across Greece. In 2013 I moved in the Netherlands and studied in Conservatorium van Utrecht.

 My musical style incorporates Blues, Rock, Jazz and Mediterranean sounds. My major influences have been Jim Hendrix, SRV, Scott Henderson, Jeff Beck, John Scofield and Wes Montgomery.

Having succesfully guided countless students through their musical journeys. I am confident in my ability to inspire a passion for the guitar and nurture the individual strengths of each learner. My teaching philosophy is centered on instilling not only technical proficiency but also a profound appreciation for the artistry and expression that the guitar can offer.

Learning to play the guitar can seem a dauting task, but with the right guiding and practice, anyone can pick up this beloved intrument. The first step in learning to play the guitar is to become familiar with its different parts. From the neck to the body, the strings to the sound hole, each piece of the guitar plays an important role in creating beatiful music.
