About Jo Cassiers.

Welcome to Tools for the Guitarist!

I'm Jo Cassiers, a passionate session and studio guitarist from Belgium.  My journey has taught me so much about the art of guitar playing and the beauty of music itself, and it’s become my heartfelt mission to share that knowledge with guitarists around the world. I would be deeply honored to be a part of your guitar journey—whether through one of my video courses, guiding you with one of my guitar books, or meeting you in person at one of the many guitar clinics we have planned. Let's create something truly special together.
