One of the best humans in the world and best teachers I've ever worked with. If you're looking to improve in classical guitar - or even just spice up your regular acoustic/electric playing or writing with some classical chops - this guy is where it's at. He's the premier scholar of Pepe Romero's technique, so he'll make sure to be an absolute hawk about your hand positioning and technique. He holds lessons out of his home studio in Larchmont. Not only is he an incredible player and teacher himself, he's also extremely kind, judicious, caring, respectful and attentive. My playing has improved immeasurably over the past year, and I'm so grateful to count him as a friend as well. Go see James!!!!!! More...

James is an incredible guitar teacher. I'm an adult student and have been studying with him for a few months. He is attentive, encouraging, relatable, and very skilled. His individualized lessons are perfect for keeping me challenged and I always look forward to the next lesson because I'm continuously being challenged. He supplements in-studio instruction by providing technique videos for later reference too, which is incredibly helpful when working on a new piece. More...

If you want to reach your musical goals then James will get you there. He's guided me through my dream pieces. J.S. Bach Gavotte & Rondo, Lute prelude, Bouree from violin, Cello suite 1, Capricco Arabe, Recuerdos, Marieta Marzuka, Mozart's Turkish March, the list goes on and on. He helped me polish my technique, improve my sight reading and helped me pick out my dream guitar. Mr. Hunley is the best guitar teacher I've ever had.Thanks James!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More...

I am so fortunate to have been James' student over the past 5 years. The amount of music, technique, and mentorship he has given me is incomparable to any instructor I have ever come across. His depth of knowledge, joy of music, and passion for teaching radiates from him during every lesson. He truly cares about each of his students' connection to the music and their continued progress. I not only consider James a fantastic teacher, but a dear friend, as do all of his students. More...
