I have played guitar for over 15 years. My first 4 years of lessons were from a professional heavy metal guitarist focusing mainly on electric guitar and rock/metal music. Later, I moved my focus to acoustic guitars and pop/country/indie music. While I am a life long learner always gaining new skills, I now no longer take guitar lessons, but teach them. My students so far have ranged in age from age 5 to age 45.
-Guitar: the student may have an acoustic or electric guitar, although classes will be taught on my unamplified acoustic -Tuner: A guitar tuner can be bought at most local music stores, although a simple free app works too! I use PanoTuner on my iPhone -Pick: A simple guitar pick can be purchased at local music stores or made (there are DIY tutorials online), although it is not needed. I will be teaching most of the lessons without a pick
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
