Regardless of your musical taste and personal goals, he teaches you what you want to learn. *** Lesson Details *** Brett likes to tailor lessons to the needs and goals of the student. Beginners will likely start with a standard lesson book and grow from there. More advanced players may want to spend time learning their favorite songs, "jamming," or focusing on specific aspects of their playing such as improvisation ("soloing") or rhythm guitar. All students should expect noticeable improvement over a three-to-six-month period, and be able to transcend merely playing notes and chords, but instead learning to play songs. *** Studio Equipment *** Electric guitar, acoustic guitar, bass guitar, amps, music stands and lesson books *** Travel Equipment *** Brett can happily provide extra guitars, lesson books, and music stands if that will make it more convenient for the student. For best results, students should have a decent guitar, lesson book, and music stand at home for practicing. *** Specialties *** Rock, Blues, Pop, Singer-Songwriter
