Get $4 off my class "Fun Acoustic or Electric Guitar One - on - One Lessons " with coupon code CYAKEK7220HAPPYGUITAR44 until Mar 1, 2024 I welcome learners of all identities and backgrounds into my classes. This class will be individualized to the unique student's level, musical interests and learning style. For total beginners, we will start with the basics of holding the guitar and how to play on the frets. The student can let me know what kinds of music , bands, and styles they want to learn. I will teach the student to play some songs, at their level. They will learn how to read chord diagrams and guitar tablature. We will explore various styles of playing and different kinds of music, in order to expand the student's musical knowledge. The student will practice both rhythm guitar and improvising a lead. We will focus on keeping a steady beat, and expand to various strumming patterns and then more complex rhythms. My teaching style is relazed and fun, with a focus on adapting to the student's individual level and learning style.
