We can start from any skill level. Which level do you fit into?
-Starting-From-Scratch: You don't know anything about the guitar or how to play. We’ll start you with the guitar basics, like reading tab, playing chords, and strumming. You'll be playing and understanding your guitar after the first lesson!
-Beginner: You've spent a few months (or years) practicing basic stuff, but you’re still at a beginner level. If you’re learning from Youtube, then you’re probably very frustrated. We’ll clean up your guitar basics and get you on the right track. You'll start learning songs and start soloing with basic scales.
-Intermediate: You know the basics and you've got a few songs that you're working on, but your playing still doesn't sound good, including clunky strumming & poor soloing skills. Your blues isn't very bluesy. You play a lot of wrong notes and you're often not sure about the song key. These issues are common and easy to fix! We’ll get into rhythm & strumming, scales & soloing, extra chords, & techniques for better playing. You'll soon be on your way to an advanced level.
-Advanced: You know the notes on the fretboard & all basic chords, plus modes & basic scales. You can decently strum and comfortably play a handful of songs. You’ve got good technique, but, your soloing isn't that great and you still (accidentally) play wrong notes. You're slow figuring out relative keys-scales-chords. Your blues doesn’t sound authentic. You’re intimidated by jazz. You might be using the exact same strum pattern for every song. Basically, you're good, but your playing is stale and you’re in a rut.
-Don’t worry! I’ll help you solve ALL of these issues.
Whichever level you fit into, we'll fix and improve your guitar skills. I’ve helped guitarists of all levels to become their best guitar selves - for over 30 years. I’m 100% positive that we can do that for you too.
You’ll need a laptop (or tablet) and internet. I use Google Meet for video chat lessons, which is free.
-I teach all styles, including rock, blues, jazz, & bluegrass. I teach songs as well, including any song you want to learn.
-We can also do other things like ear training, songwriting, or reading sheet music if you want.
-Both acoustic & electric guitars are good.
