Guitar Instruction:
I am currently offering guitar instruction (Yes, via the web, Youtbe) to students of all ages, from beginner to intermediate. I have been involved with music semi-professionally for 20 years. Each guitar lesson is catered to the specific needs and/or requests of each student. This includes style, instrument class (electric or acoustic), and preferred genre (rock, blues, metal, country, folk, pop, jazz). Guitar lessons the way you want them. We can even focus on particular artists or songs. There is a general curriculum as well. My teaching style is laid back and designed to help you become the musician you want to be.
The details:
You pick the song. I will create 1-3 movies (approx 10 minutes long) showing in detail how to play the song. This will include chord charts, break down of riffs and chord sequences, and will include additional assistance via email or phone call.
Why is this system better?
Because you can watch the movie as many times as you like!! :) The problem with in-person lessons is that you walk out the door and forget half of what you learned!!Furthermore, you may get stuck with some odd instructor that you just don't gel with, you have to drive to the lesson, boy the list just goes on!
Rates:
$60 per song or catered instruction. Send payment via paypal to my email account or send me a check. Once I receive the check, please give me 48 hours to create the video and get it posted to youtube. Feel free to email me questions or request further movies.
Location:
OR, I am happy to open my home to you for a lesson, or I can travel to you (for an additional travel cost).
