Ken Boatman Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I have been playing guitar in touring bands for over 25 years. I've traveled the US performing and know my instrument well! I own over 20 guitars and 7 amplifiers. Ive coered various styles from rock, to country, to R&B and Funk. TO metal to pop and dance. I target the student and use a unique approach as to help THEM get to their goals. This varies from person to person and I customize my lessons to help out each individual.

My influences are:

Edward Van Halen, Steve Vai, Angus Young, Judas Priest, XYZ, Counting Crows, Steve Stevens, etc. I could go on and on...

My guitar lessons take place in:

The teacher's studio or the student's home

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I try to determine what the student already knows about guitar and then determine what it is that they want to accomplish with lessons. After this assessment, we determine a plan together and take the necessary steps to get to our goal. It is truly a unique evaluation for each person.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

We either review prior lesson material and ask for questions. Then, we tackle new material and I send the student home with an MP3 of the lesson and also some paper/written documentation as well. The student will take this with them to use as a reference for their home study.

The qualities I look for in an ideal guitar student might include the following:

Someone who has a real desire to LEARN. They do their homework and comes prepared for the next lesson with the prior lesson already under their belt.
