Guitar lessons with Jackson Eli at University Guitar.

"Jackson Eli is an Austin-based teacher/guitarist who teaches a variety of styles – classical, folk, western swing, pop, rockabilly, blues, rock, hot jazz, Latin styles, and singer/songwriter tunes. He teaches guitar, music theory, and music performance techniques at University Guitar. He is currently a doctoral student at the University of Texas-Austin—writing his dissertation on music education.

Lessons, at University Guitar, are $75/hour. Lessons are held in the North University neighborhood, near Hyde Park. Jackson will help you find the right guitar for your style/sound and tailor lessons to fit your learning style.
As a performer, Jackson is somewhat unique in that he can switch between such genres of country to classical to jazz seamlessly. His strength is the variety of his repertoire. In high school and throughout college at University of North Texas, he studied guitar with Professor Tom Johnson. Mr. Johnson was the head professor and founder of the classical guitar program at UNT.

Jackson’s focus in college was Classical Guitar. Jackson incorporates these skills he learned into his performances today. After finishing his bachelor's degree at UNT Denton, Jackson began teaching music in Preston Hollow at Gray School of Music while working at Southern Methodist University. He then completed a master's in education at UNT Denton. He is currently working on a doctorate in education at UT Austin.

Jackson performed in Austin, TX throughout the years, playing the mix of music mentioned above as well as his own original tunes. Jackson has collaborated with Grammy-winning Gary Clark Jr., Dale Watson, and recorded an album with Milo Deering (multi-instrumentalist for The Eagles), as well as many Austin musical acts.

Jackson has played guitar in bands such as The Blondettes (rockabilly, motown), The Bodarks (bluegrass, folk), and The Jackson Eli trio (swing, blues, rock). In addition to being a teacher and performer, Jackson is also a studio guitarist. In October, 2017 he played guitar on Matt Grigsby’s album entitled, “Worthy of Love.” Grigsby is one of the two founders of the Denton Songwriters Guild.

Jackson actively performs at corporate functions, country clubs, weddings, restaurants, and bars. He has played the main stage at The House of Blues, The Rustic, and has been music vendor for Whole Foods Market for 5 years.
Jackson released an EP in 2012 called, "Heading To The Comal" consisting of all original songs that he wrote with his father, Randy Eli Grothe. It is available on iTunes for download. In addition to Heading To The Comal, Jackson has released 4 albums independently and published over 30 songs.

Jackson grew up in East Dallas. He teaches college-level guitar lessons, post-doctoral adult students, and also teaches kids (6 – 13 years old) how to read music and play by ear. On weekends, he performs primarily in the Austin area."
