Private Guitar tutoring lessons Belews Creek, NC.

I do not teach guitar for readers or cover artists. If you want to learn how to find your own style and build on what is unique and valuable in what you play, I can help you.

I typically can't offer much to an already advanced player as they've already acquired and embedded habits I will train less experienced players to either avoid or incorporate from a creative rather than copy-cat methodology.

Students will be taught "Expressive Practicing", a technique emphasizing skills earned through inspired playing. This is a highly individualized method based on the students instinctive capabilities such as having an natural "ear". Fundamentals are taught as applied through a run-before-you-walk set of exercises and structured improvisation techniques.

Come one, come all! Time to learn the guitar! If you have been playing for many years and want to break out of a rut, or if you just got your first guitar and suspect that there is a better way to learn than trying to sort through the haphazard offerings on youtube, I welcome you. Sign up for a lesson and come on over. I think we will have fun and you be happy to find yourself learning to play this great instrument. Stick around and you will be surprised at how far you can take it.

Get ready for a great experience! I've been playing guitar for over 11 years. I have played lead guitar in contemporary worship teams and lead worship for a short time. I offer a structured, easy to learn course for beginners to intermediate players. I have a love of playing and it is my hope to encourage and motivate others to have that same love for guitar. I can teach a wide range of styles from rock, blues and country. You will also learn chords, scales, picking techniques, and more! You will have a firm foundation and I will get you ready to play in no time flat. I can also guide you in amplifiers and pedals should you like the electric approach.

Various genres of guitar including: rock, metal, shred, blues, funk, pop.

I like to use Fast Track by Hal Leonard Book 1 it is an easy book to learn from. You learn your notes on all 6. Why because it is important to read music just as it is to play the guitar. Learn your favorite songs. Learn strumming patterns. Strumming is hard so it takes a bit. And yes your FINGERS will be sore for a while but you will survive!!!!

First thing I do before first day of class is send out a welcoming greeting via email and call a few days before first lesson.
