The Guitar Specifics
Acoustic and Electric Guitar are both taught. A student can start with either instrument depending on what their ultimate goal is.
The goal of our instruction is always to help a student learn and get to a point that they want to get to. In addition we always make sure the important things are covered that will 1.) help a student succeed in the future and 2.)help them understand how to communicate with others musicians. Students are encouraged to bring in CDs with songs that they would like to work on.
Guitar lessons will consist of the following....
- Rhythm guitar (i.e. strumming and chords)
- Different Guitar Techniques/Playing Styles (i.e. finger-style, soloing)
- Note Reading and Tablature
- Genres that can be taught....Pop, Rock, Blues, Metal, Country, Christian, Church Worship, etc., etc.
- and....whatever songs/styles the student wants to learn (as their abilities permit)
Guitar, being a stand alone instrument, is a very fun and challenging instrument to play. With time and practice you will find yourself playing songs you hear on the radio (or iPod) and/or jamming with your friends and having fun.
