About Jun Ibasco

Jun Ibasco has been performing and teaching professionally since 1998. While in the Philippines, he was the guitarist for the bands Jumpstart, Swerve, and Limited Edition where he played 6 nights a week and toured the Philippines extensively.

In January of 2004, upon migrating to the United States, Jun worked as a video editor for Jazz Guitar Giant, Jimmy Bruno for his online Music School, “The Jimmy Bruno Guitar Workshop.” While working for him, he absorbed Jimmy’s methods of teaching and created his own spin on fretboard visualization using 5 basic shapes of the major scale.

From 2006 to 2019, he taught at Music Training Center in Ardmore.  While there, he authored a Guitar Soloing Program which focuses on classical music arranged in a rock/fusion format. The program is still an integral part of MTC’s curriculum to this day. He also taught ensembles that featured Blues, R&B, Funk, Soul, and Fusion.
