What If…
I Know How You Feel…
- You could finally play the guitar the way you have always imagined it to be?
- I could help YOU feel really good and confident about your playing skills?
- What you really wanted was to find a teacher, a coach and a mentor that would guide you toward massive improvement
in your guitar playing?
- I could help you speed up learning the guitar. In fact, up to ten times faster than studying on your own?
It's probably about time that you make all of this happen, get rid of your frustrated attempts to learn the guitar and start working toward your dream of playing well. An experienced and dedicated teacher will help you to get there faster and in an organized way that actually FEELS GOOD.
The truth is that there is no end to the amount of information available on how to play the guitar including books, magazines, DVD's and of course YouTube. This leads a lot of people to attempt learning the guitar on their own- and they will learn some things for sure. But I see three problems with this thinking:
1. Organizing all this information (on your own) in a manner that lets you feel like you are growing as a musician/guitarist is next to impossible. The use of this information is so fragmented that any sense of feeling competent and confident is quickly lost-unless you happen to be a really ultra-organized person and take great delight in being so. This random gathering of information is simply not enough to help you feel good about your progress- so you need help to get the results you want.
2. All this information provides you with NO feedback on any amount of effort you may put into your playing and learning, good or bad. Often this results in you being "information rich" but "technically poor". You need a skilled teacher to WATCH how you physically play & practice and give you the proper support at the right time - so you need help to get the results you want.
3. Real people gathering together to share their skills and communicate, in the truest sense of the word, is the best format to see massive results in your guitar playing. Despite current technology that allows you to virtually meet and chat with others, there is still no better experience than having a real teacher in front of you move your elbow to help you FEEL, right now, what a more efficient way of playing is. Real people interacting face-to-face helping each other grow real skills is the key- so you need help to get the results you want.
As a young player myself I had a big problem. I was mystified by how guitar solos worked. How does anyone put all those notes together all over the fret-board and make it look effortless? In my world, I only knew of major and minor scale sounds (basically the standard Do, Re, Me, Fa, So,La,Ti stuff- don't worry if you don't know this). Any attempt I made to learn a rock solo NEVER really sounded right using these scales. I was clueless and frustrated.
Sure, I found some of the notes and put some parts together by ear-(a very good activity by the way!). And in those days guitar magazines/books were few if any and certainly NO INTERWEB-oops I mean INTERNET existed for the public.
Then, a friend of mine that I had been jamming with fired of the solo section to the tune My Sharona- he had only been playing for about 5 months while I had been playing for 4 years. How did he do that? I wanted to be able to do that! I wanted to feel good about doing that! To me it was very, very COOL. So, my friend gave me the name and number of his teacher and in a few short months I was on my way to playing the same solo. That very good teacher made a difference in "ramping up" my skills in a shorter period of time than I alone could accomplish. That teacher helped me to get rid of my frustration. So, I needed help to get the results I wanted.
So What You Are Looking For Are Simply Results…
Whether you are a beginning, intermediate or advanced player, you study with a teacher because you have a problem and you want help fixing that problem. You want to witness results from your effort and feel good about what you are doing. Here is a sample of what you get by studying guitar with me:
- A variety of teaching formats that best suit your needs at different times during your study.
- A motivating and stimulating environment where you can share learning music with other students like yourself.
- Free access to the GUITAR GYM designed to help me SEE HOW YOU PRACTICE so YOU GET THE GREATEST RESULTS FAST.
- Participation in a variety of specific guitar workshops like: Rhythm, Improvisation, Reading, Chord Theory and many others.
- Many opportunities to JAM with other students.
- Participate in various master-classes given by local performers.
- An organized approach to your learning.
I guarantee you won't get all this by studying on your own!
