Nothing can substitute one-to-one learning. If you are a complete beginner, an intermediate player, or an experienced guitarist that has hit that ‘musical brick-wall’, I can tailor a guitar tuition package that will target the areas of your playing that need the most attention. In your lessons I will use Tablature ( a system of lines, numbers and symbols specific to the guitar ) and Standard Notation ( as used the world over in practically every genre ) to assist with the practical, hands-on noisy stuff! Many budding guitarists are keen to just ‘plug n play’ which is great to a point, but even a little music theory can help open up endless possibilities which make a huge difference in your development as a musician. I do encourage playing ‘by ear’ especially when considering improvising or jamming along to backing tracks or with other musicians but what notes will fit the chords that are being played? What key is the song in? What scales / modes / intervals etc. would fit? It all sounds very daunting if you are just starting out, but when broken down, the theory behind playing the guitar well can be easily learned with the minimum amount of time. With an understanding of how music is written, how chords are structured, how melodies are produced, how harmonies are found etc, you will quickly learn to get those fingers to go where you want them! Please take a look around my webpage. If you are a newbie, I hope you will find it informative but it really is just the start of what will quite possibly be a long love affair with such an expressive, individual instrument. If you are already a guitar player chances are you are hungry to learn more, play more and generally improve your technique. I you prefer the thump and low end of a bass guitar, I can help with that too ! And let’s face it, guitars are cool! Shannon
