About this pro
I’ve taught students of all ages from 10 to 75. I can tech a student to read music or just play chords. I myself have been playing guitar for 50 years. I took lessons for 5 years.
Passing on the knowledge of music to another person is something they will carry with them for life.

They need to know if they want to learn to read music or just play chords and learn songs. The amount of time they'll need to set aside for practice each day and the type of guitar they'll need to purchase if they don't have one already.
