About Me

Hi, my name is Nicolas and I am a guitar/bass instructor living in PDX. I've been a musician now for over 17 years doing everything from cover bands, original, acoustic shows, home studio recordings and I even played with an orchestra once! I plan on teaching students guitar/bass through their own favorite musicians and some classics! I make a fun and easy environment to learn in. Lessons plans will generally go first with technique, then over to learning songs for "Motor skills" and lastly into learning our scales fancy chords which my students can then apply into their own songwriting and creativity. Music class was always my favorite and I want it to be my students too!

Nicolas C. has over 2 years of music experience in the Portland area.

Nicolas C. is proficient in and teaches Guitar Lessons, Bass Guitar Lessons, Song Writing Lessons .


What to expect in my Guitar Lessons

Beginner - Intermediate - Advanced

For the first lessons we're mostly focused on the very basics; how to hold a pick properly, how to position the guitar in your hands, proper fretting, and some good warm up riffs to get the hands moving! I'll also ask about the students preference in music and use that to plan ahead!

I've played in bands and knew my way around some power chords, but I wanted to expand my horizons into more soloing and songwriting and lo behold Nick teaches both. He's as excited to teach as I am to learn and now I'm making music I couldn't for years. Thanks, teach! Nicolas Cobb wrote on Sun, 23 Nov 2025

    I wanted the basics to get my songwriting off the ground and Nick gave me the needed lift. He's not just patient and thorough with his lessons, but he also makes it so fun! He's helped my confidence as a musician, and I enjoy playing and performing more than ever. Nicolas Cobb wrote on Sun, 23 Nov 2025

      What took me weeks to learn by myself took only an evening with Nick. He understands the beginners mindset and has really helped me make major progress! Nicolas Cobb wrote on Sun, 23 Nov 2025

        My 8 year old loves music so when she came to me asking to learn guitar I knew who I could go to. He really gets how to communicate with children and keeps focus and fun as priorities. My kid looks forward to her lessons, which makes it fun for all of us! Nicolas Cobb wrote on Sun, 23 Nov 2025
