Rob Jackson Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I have developed an approach over 34 years of teaching in Nashville that works wonders with beginners and intermediate students. There is a wealth of information and tons of references on my website, including music professionals. I have video clips of some of my students playing and even performing on national TV. Please check out my website.

My influences are:

Too many to reference. Heres a few: Beatles, Doc Watson, Allman Brothers, Motown, Stax, Byrds, Hendrix, Zeppelin, all 50s, 60s, 70s, some 80s. I can figure out anything.

Your first guitar lesson with me might include the following:

I listen to them play, and talk to them , and may give them some tests to determine what their skill level is in terms of picking up new chords, and strumming and picking apptitude, etc. I have 34 years of experience with this, and all of my students can play at least functionally well, many are pro-level players after two or three years.

A guitar lesson with me might entail the following:

The first thing I do is set up a free consultation so I can find out what the student is doingal ready, if anything, and determine what the best way to get the student to their goal is. I teach every person somewhat differently, depending on what they want to do, and how much time they have, etc.

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

Somebody who is pretty eager to learn, and willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to be good at it.
