Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
For Beginner Guitar Lessons
For beginner guitar students, we'll focus on laying a strong foundation, including exercises to build finger strength and coordination, mastering basic chords and scales, and learning to read tablature. You'll also receive an introduction to music theory and guidance on developing good practice habits and discipline.
For Intermediate and Advanced Guitar Lessons
If you're an intermediate or advanced guitarist, I'll evaluate your current skill level and formulate a lesson plan to further enhance your abilities. This may include diving deeper into music theory, refining your technique, exploring writing and composition, and mastering advanced soloing techniques, including improvisation.
