I love to help anyone who has been told they're not able to play guitar, has quit out of frustration, or been told they're too old or too young to play. *** Lesson Details *** Each lesson is customized to your learning style and different for everyone depending on what you want to learn. Most of my students like to learn from scratch which would include the following: In the first 3 lessons you will learn basic guitar fundamentals, basic 1-4-5 song progressions (the stuff that 85% of all music we listen to is made up of), left hand / right hand coordination, picking techniques, how to strum, mute, & play notes on the guitar. We can play as a band too. When you are ready, I love to bring out the drum or backing tracks to your favorite artists songs while you play guitar and I play what your not, giving you the feel of a live band that makes learning at your lesson more fun. Electric or Acoustic guitar genres include: Rock, Pop, Blues, Country, R&B, Funk, Latin, Jazz, Classical, and more. *** Studio Equipment *** My Line 6 Spider Jam will take any wave file and speed up or slow down the tempo and lower or higher the key to your preference.
