Have you ever wanted to learn the guitar….
But you’re intimidated by all the free youtube lessons?
OR maybe you stopped because you don’t have enough time?
Or maybe you’re just tired of confusing advice and music theory?
Maybe you couldn’t learn songs or topics you were interested in?
If you’ve encountered any of these problems…..
I’d like to help you learn!
I believe in creating healthy practice habits that don’t take long to do….
And that you can start playing music that you enjoy from day one.
— Chord shapes and scale patterns shouldn’t be the focus for beginners. Learning songs should be.
— To learn songs, it’s important to develop your musical ear, learn to identify common guitar techniques and sounds, as well as learn to match tabs to songs you hear.
— Fretboard knowledge should be developed at the same time as your song repertoire
— Music theory is easier when put in practice with exercises and real song examples.
— A practice plan helps builds playing ability while keeping time commitments to a minimum
— Songwriting and lead guitar knowledge should be available to anyone who wants to learn, and that is more accessible than you think.
I say this because there’s more to guitar than just basic chords.
You’ll need to learn how to listen to music, break down a tab, choose proper fingering, remember the tabs to the music, and how to recognize and hear the most used guitar techniques.
