Juan Antonio Rivera is a highly acclaimed guitarist, educator, and author from Puerto Rico. 

​

Born and raised in Puerto Rico; Juan Antonio has been playing guitar for more than 20 years. While his early influences were rock and blues musicians, he started to lean towards jazz and experimental music during his late teen years.  

       

As soon as he finished high school he enrolled at Musicians Institute in Los Angeles where he studied with various guitarists such as Alex Machacek, Greg Howe and Scott Henderson. Here a whole new world of exploration was opened and he jumped in head first into the world of fusion, experimental and prog music. 

​

He currently resides in Puerto Rico and divides his time between being a gigging and session guitarist, teacher, and content creator. Among some of his works are the books “The Art of Scale Weaving”, "100 Modern Fusion Guitar Licks", the course “Rock Guitar Legato Masterclass” and his album as a soloist “Sublimation”.​
