About
As a Baltimore-based musician, I wear many hats - including producer, mixer, recording engineer, and private guitar instructor. You may also know me as the guitarist for Sunbathers and Boate & Ajluni Duo.

When it comes to guitar lessons, I take a unique approach. With over 3,500 lessons taught to more than 100 students, I've developed a style that effectively explains playing techniques and music theory to individuals at all experience levels and musical tastes. Rather than impose my own preferences and styles, I tailor each lesson to the student's interests, goals, and skill level - resulting in an enjoyable learning experience.

Aside from guitar instruction, I offer professional audio recording and mixing services, alongside teaching recording and production software like Logic Pro and GarageBand.

Music has been an integral part of my life, and I enjoy sharing my skills and knowledge with others. Whether through teaching, performing, or producing music, I strive to inspire and encourage individuals to explore their own musical passions.

My experience with Tim Boate's guitar lessons has been absolutely fantastic. Not only is he a professional and organized instructor, but he also tailors his lesson plans to my interests and abilities. He strikes an ideal balance between teaching music theory and introducing me to new skills through song learning, which is perfect for me. I've been taking lessons from him for almost 7 months, and my progress has far exceeded my expectations. I wholeheartedly recommend Tim for his superb value and expertise in guitar instruction!

With zero experience in guitar, Tim made it easy for me to grasp the basics and establish my journey.

I was introduced to Tim by my husband, who had seen his post on CrackerJack for guitar lessons. He always came home from his lessons buzzing with excitement, inspired by Tim's teachings. He encouraged me to attend one of his lessons, and upon doing so, I was impressed by Tim's impressive skills and welcoming demeanor, as well as the recording equipment in his studio. As I had aspirations to create a children's storytelling and music album, Tim seemed like the perfect choice for collaborating. Throughout the recordings, Tim brought his equipment to various locations where I performed. He was fully equipped with all the necessary tools and more. Since the recordings included spoken word and music, Tim had to ensure the two seamlessly merged together, which he did with remarkable professionalism. His keen attention to detail, volume, texture, timing, and editing are all indicative of his exceptional expertise and artistic acumen. Upon completing the project, Tim also assisted in the distribution of the album on digital platforms, an area I was unfamiliar with. Additionally, he offered his support in marketing the album through social media, showcasing his endless knowledge of the music industry. By attending my husband's guitar lesson, I discovered that Tim is not just a regular guitar teacher, but a multifaceted musician offering immense value to recording artists. He is incredibly musical, creative, hardworking, focused, and effortlessly relaxed. I have subsequently worked with him on multiple album projects, and I firmly believe he is a priceless resource in Baltimore.

Additionally, his services offer excellent value and he is always highly responsive.
