I don't teach guitar the way most people
do. I think the traditional Mel Bay book
approach that teaches reading notation as
an essential part of the initial learning
process is just plain wrong.
This backwards approach ignores the fact
that most of the people who are
superstars, sell millions of records, and
win Grammies do not read
music. Music is a hearing
process, not a visual one. A person could
be a terrific sight reader and be 100% deaf.
Most people who learn to play guitar like
SONGS.
They want to sing and play popular music
.Pop, blues, country, folk, rock,
whatever. It makes sense for them to
learn chords and rhythms first. They
begin playing songs right away. It's fun.
Then , after you start playing simple
songs , learn to read music if you want
to.
Here's
what I can teach you:
How to play songs you like
How to understand how chords go together
How to write your own songs
How to figure out any song, in any key,
in a few minutes
Common playing mistakes to avoid
Different styles of playing and what
makes them different
More
specifically:
Rhythm patterns of any style , including
finger picking
Chords in the 5 "Guitar
Friendly" keys
How chord progressions work
Better chord voicing
How to use your capo to make hard things
easier
Connector chords
Color chords
The number system (it's Easy)
Specific techniques like bending,
sliding, hammer-ons, pull-offs, etc.
Getting and keeping your guitar in tune
Choosing the right guitar and the right
method to meet your goals fast
And so on and so forth
Yes, I do teach lead playing, scales,
patterns etc.
I can teach you to play the right chords
and rhythm to any song in any genre of
music
I teach in person, through emails, faxes,
telephones and will have interactive
on-line lessons available this year. |
