Teaching Style
I like to teach using lessons based on the individual students needs. Sometimes this entails a custom hand made lesson for that particular student. I try to simplify advanced material and concepts so they can be used soon after the lesson in a real life setting.
I have my own adaptable curriculum I've put together based on what is useful to PLAY guitar and make music sooner rather than later.
A lot of disjointed information confused me as a beginner and my method is centered around the student and their personal needs and desires. You will learn the way you enjoy learning and be able to play exactly how you want to.
Curriculum
General Overview
Beginner to advanced technique - flat picking, finger picking, legato, speed technique etc...
Beginner to advanced music theory - Alphabet, Intervallic design of the guitar, NNS, key revolution, playing well with others collaboration vs competition etc...
