Daniel Bulich Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I like to keep my lessons as fun and engrossing for my students as possible. I like to mix essential techniques/methods for guitar with songs the students like. For beginners I like to start with the fundamentals of reading notes, rhythm, and playing techniques. More advanced students know what they want to learn and I break it down for them in ways they can understand and perform.

My influences are:

I took lessons with jazz guitarist Francis Varriichio when I was young. In college I took classical guitar lessons with Christopher Kenniff. I'm also influenced by classic rock and alternative music.

My guitar lessons take place in:

The student's home

Guitar Lessons with me take place in the following areas:

Scales and Exercises, Music Theory, Reading Music, Jamming Skills, Improvisation, Performance, Vocal Accompaniment, Slide Guitar, Fingerstyle, Open tuning, Rhythm guitar, Lead guitar

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I find out if they've played guitar before. I find out if they've played an instrument before. I find out if they can read notes or tabs. For young students, if they're new to music i'll decide to teach them how to read and play. If they can already play I'll ask what areas they want to work on.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

It really depends on the student and the skill level. I usually start with a warm up, either a scale or scale passage. Then I may have them play exercises from a method book. Then I may have them play a song we've been working on.

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

The easy answer is one who practices. Walking into a lesson where the student didn't practice can be frustrating for the instructor and the student.
