I will feature a lick each month that I have used on the debut Test Tube Rhino CD "InVitro." Video Demonstrations are to come so stay tuned!

 

Begin difficult things while they are easy.  Do great things while
    they are small.  The difficult things of the world must once have
    been easy.  The great things must once have been small.



    A thousand mile journey begins with one step.  Start today.

Aspiring and Current Guitar Players ask yourself these questions:
  • Do you feel frustrated with your guitar playing?
  • Tired of trying to learn from free guitar lessons and online videos that don't explain what you NEED to know?
  • Ever tried jamming with other people but you never could understand what chords to play or how to solo?
  • Not getting the results you want and feel disappointed with your progress to the point you feel like quitting?
  • Are you confused on where to go to next ?
     

I know exactly how you feel because I've been there. At one time I was a beginner/intermediate student trying to learn the same things you are right now and I had to fight through all of the same problems as you. I tried learning from magazine tabs, books, online forums and swapping ideas with my friends or strangers who did not know anything more than me only making me feel even more lost and confused.

Break Down The Barriers to Your Guitar Playing

Break down barriers such as:
  • The inability to play cleanly and in time
  • The inability to develop speed and coordination.
  • STOP - Learning from the "Trail and Error" approach thinking that all you need is more time.
  • STOP - Learning from free tabs and videos thinking that you are saving money by not having a guitar instructor.
  • STOP - Feeling that you have to learn one thing at a time before you move on to the next technique.
Get the results you want NOW! With evaluating your strengths and weaknesses I can customize lesson materials to your needs so that you can:
  • Play the things you want with less effort.
  • Learn more quickly. 
  • Feel better about your playing and become more confident
  • Enjoy playing the guitar!

I have taught hundreds of guitar students and helped them overcome their barriers to getting the results they wanted. I am confident that I can also help you regardless of what level you are at.

“We have worked with Joey on many different occasions both live and in the studio. In addition to him being a genuinely good person, which is rare in the music business, Joey always brings a strong professionalism and his overwhelming body of knowledge in the field of guitar playing, and is always an asset to the session.”

"Hello my name is Art Kalenda. I taught Joe in the late 80's at my home. I have to say that Joe progressed very quickly with all that was presented to him. Anything I gave him he had it down cold the following week. I was pleasantly surprised to see and hear this and had to up my game!! After about 2 years I told Joe I had taught him what I could and suggested a new and awesome player to go to named Tony Scozzaro,years down the road i heard joe was moving fast down the road of great hometown guitarists and had the pleasure of seeing him play and was very impressed how much more joe had progressed. He now had his own style and tone. I am pleased to have taught Joe and to know him. He now is a great teacher and composer. Do yourself a favor and check him out!!!!!   Much success Joe!!!!"

CD Reviews of Joe Pinnavaia's release "InVitro" as Test Tube Rhino:

"His playing breathes the lyrical melodic phrasing of Joe Satriani with elements of Buckethead’s acoustic mastery and articulation of the brilliant Paul Gilbert. For guitar instrumental lovers, InVitro is everything you could ask for."
- Alex Jasperse , musesmuse.com (Oct 15, 2008)

 "The instrumental tracks veer from Steve Vai/ Joe Satriani speed shredding to Lenny Kravitz funky blues and rock to Jeff Beck Blow era jazz rock. "
- Bob Silvestri, Best of WNY.com (May 01, 2008) 

 "TTR is his project for launching “selfish” guitar madness. Lucky us. His liquid tone, melodic lines, and tendency to break out savage note flurries are delightful."
- Mike Molenda, Guitar Player (Aug 01, 2006) 

"Mr. Pinnavaia has a real melodic talent, and it hears well. This instrumental opus is a joy to listen to. It has a nostalgic, but also upbeat, quality that captured my imagination."
- Michael F., ProGGnosis.com (Mar 05, 2008) 

"Rock guitar instrumentals that allow for plenty of solo space, multi-layered esoterica, melodic richness, over-the-top shred, liquid legato lines, torrid tapping - in short, an outlet for the "experimental and selfish side of my playing," as Pinnavaia describes it."
- The Undiscovered, Guitar 9 Records (Jul 01, 2006) 

"All instrumental, the sound is a pure sonic guitar feast in the timeless musical spirit of Robert Fripp and even Norwegian guitar god Terje Rypdal."
- Robert Silverstein, Music Web Express 3000 (Mar 23, 2009)
