Chandon Valentich Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

I begin with tuning, strumming, rhythm, and then scales. Once mastered, I move to teaching songs followed by teaching song writing and structure with mixed music theory. Depending on the student, I will then move on to advanced techniques such as chromatic, pentatonic, and arpeggio scales. I even teach pinch harmonics and proper bending and sliding. My gear: B.C.
