James is originally a classically trained guitarist turned neo classical-rock musician. He plays rock n’ roll with a classical twist. Now a guitarist of 20 years, he has taken on dozens of students each month wanting to learn his technique.

James grew up in the small town of Walpole Massachusetts where he decided at the age of 8 that he wanted to make music his life. Studying at Berklee College of Music at the age of 17 was when he met Joe Stump (Shredlord). Joe Stump forever changed his perception of music and playing. Being taught advanced techniques and learning the ins and outs of complex rock and neo classical sequences, he then began releasing music to the general public. His first album (Breaker Interlude) was released in 2005 and the following album (Self Titled) was released in 2006.

James Cintolo is a guitar virtuoso who is passing his skills onto a younger generation. Furthermore, he is compassionate about teaching and wants to take the time to show his students the correct way to play with the best techniques possible. Now having teaching studios open in Norwood and Newton Ma, James has the ability to teach at multiple locations for a very reasonable price. James also gives lessons Via Skype or through video chat!
