I tailor my teaching style to the student's needs. I believe not everyone learns the same way, having said that I have a personal methodology that involves learning music through inspiration and play.
If you want to expand your techniques on the guitar then we might use repertoire to learn a specific technique, for instance, if you want to expand your hand picking technique we might use a song by an established artist to learn a new hand/picking technique, or if your goal is to improve soloing in a particular style, we might use a combination of scale/learning and learning the solo of an artist of your choice.
The same is true if your goal is to learn more theory, we can do all of the above plus talk about how the music is structured from a theoretical point of view.
