My lessons would be for everyone, from complete beginners to intermediately skilled people wanting to nail some harder techniques

Advert description

I would start with the basics, such as correct grip of the plectrum, how to play a note clearly and how to stop fret buzz when playing a fretted note. Once that has happened, I would move on to basic open chords and get the person I am teaching to start playing some songs with said open chords. Next I would focus on bar chords and the correct technique and posture for both the finger doing the barring and the thumb placement. Moreover, I would teach them how to read tab music and help them understand tab entirely Once they have the fundamentals down, I would ask them what they would want to learn, rather then giving them songs to learn, as from my experience learning songs you want to learn is much more helpful for progression, then pulling out sheet music. As they progress, I would introduce harder techniques, such as fingerstyle, tremolo picking, hammer ons and pull offs and palm muting. All the way to complicated things such as thumping and sweep picking.
