There are some basic steps I go for such as chord construction, proper hand and finger strength technique, fretboard theory, strums and fingerpicking, song structures, rhythm guitar, sight reading classical music and standards, extended chords, melody, harmony, triads, tetrads, lead playing theory, examples of interpretation scales and modes, sound textures, guitar techniques and improvisation, arrangement, and composition, depending on the level. I know for a fact that not everyone learns the same way, and for this reason I customize my lessons to match the student´s interests.
