Guitar lessons

As with all of our lessons, we’ll first want to understand your goals and constraints. Why are you interested in guitar lessons? Where do you want to be with the guitar in one, five, ten years from now? How much time each day will you realistically devote to practicing guitar? What type of music do you like and what would you like to be able to play? Do you want to learn your favorite song or be able to write your own?

We want you to be able to play your music. For some that will take weeks, others it will require years. Either way, we want to make sure you have a solid foundation. We emphasize proper, safe technique so that you can enjoy playing guitar for the rest of your life. Other important aspects of guitar that we teach include:

• Holding a guitar and pick
• Proper fretting of notes
• Electric guitar technique
• Acoustic guitar technique
• Strumming hand rhythm
• Correct chord construction
• Efficient playing
• Riffs, arpeggios and solos
• Effects pedals
• Role of guitar in various scenarios (singer-songwriter, large band, small band)
• Rock, country, folk, blues, raggae
