Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

Bob decides the level of the student, then begins adding to their vocabulary of music. Beginners to Pro, everybody should have fun learning. Bob is an extremely patient and nurturing teacher. Your FIRST LESSON is FREE!

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

Bob chooses the best method for you to learn by focusing on your strong points, and teaching you songs that you know and love. That will give you more incentive to practice. You can bring your iPod or CDs and Bob can figure out your song by ear. At the end of each lesson Bob records an audio example and e-mails it to you, so you have some sort of guide until the next lesson.
