Justin Starks

Hailing from Kentucky, Justin grew up in his father's hometown guitar store learning all about the music industry and picking the musical brains of local music heroes, learning to play guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, lap steel, and drums along the way. Upon graduating from the Atlanta Institute of Music in the summer of 2005, he was placed on a national tour in support of American Idol’s Diana Degarmo. After wrapping up touring later that year, he began teaching privately for several Atlanta area teaching studios, directing rock bands for summer camps and afterschool programs, in addition to teaching clinics and masterclasses dealing with music theory and guitar ensemble. In between teaching, Justin has played guitar and bass for several Atlanta based artists as well as writing and performing with his own bands. He has also lent his talents to various Atlanta recording studios most notably doing sessions for Britney Spears and R&B singer, Mya. Currently, Justin is writing and recording his own music, performing in the local area, and accepting students for private instruction.

Corbin King

I am a guitarist of 34 years and I have been involved with music my entire life. I began teaching at Town Center Music in 2003 and have helped thousands of students achieve their goals during that time. I teach both guitar and bass but I specialize in advanced lead guitar and composition. I can help anyone, at any age, from a first day beginner to a seasoned veteran looking for some new inspiration or ideas.

Aside from being an instructor at TCM, I am most commonly known in the music biz for my heavy metal band VAINGLORY, which I am the guitarist, songwriter and producer. I am also the lead guitarist for the rap/hip-hop phenom RITTZ. The combination of these two acts and the extremely high level exposure of the RITTZ material has led my guitar playing to be heard worldwide and through all major music outlets like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc. for a total of over 40 MILLION plays/streams.
Whether you are looking to become the next guitar hero or just want to play for fun and learn some songs, I can help you!

What About Other Online Lessons?
We understand the attraction to many online guitar lessons: convenient, abundant, no need to change out of pajama pants - it sounds great. But most of them are prerecorded video series. How can an online video tell you your finger position needs to be changed? Can an online video encourage you when you just nail that tough passage? Can an online video re-arrange your favorite song to make it easier for you to learn? There's no substitute for the relationship you develop with your teacher as they encourage you and give you exactly what you need to accomplish your musical goals.
