Artiom Kesas
About
Hello Everyone.
My name is Artiom, but you can call me Arty if that’s more comfortable. I teach electric guitar for beginners. As a self-taught guitar player with years of experience, I understand that learning electric guitar can sometimes feel really complex. I went through these struggles myself and have helped others minimize them, making their musical journey easier and more exciting!
I began learning guitar years ago, starting with classical guitar, then moving to acoustic, and finally focusing on electric guitar. I’ve explored multiple genres of music, from simple “cowboy chords” to fast-paced heavy metal. My main area of expertise is moderate rock, though I also enjoy funky and bluesy improvisation.
I’ve had the opportunity to play on stage and am currently in a band, with plans to record our music very soon.
Teaching Style
My teaching style is based on practical approach with strong theoretical basis. I do not believe in "music from heaven"; everything is first of all based on practice and theory. However, I also do not believe in blind memorization of scales and chords; these are not some magical runes that you just memorize, otherwise a fate of memorizing hundred thousandth chords will be upon you. The trick here is in seeing connections in everything and practicing it out, until it becomes natural. This is the philosophy and approach I have.
Curriculum
In a few month we will go over several vast areas of music theory implemented in practice.
We meet 1-2 times a week and i give you out the material, demonstrate it and answer the questions you have.
During the lessons I give you the material and things to practice on, the rest is on you. You cant learn guitar by just learning theory, you need a lot of practice. Also, I do not want to waste your time and just sit and do something you can do yourself while you pay me. That is why the lesson is a lesson. Practice and homework is your job to do.
We will not blindly memorize chords and scales, there will be some memorization but way less than you would usually get. Trust me, there is a shortcut.
