Questions

I've never played before!

Not a problem! Beginners are always welcome!

What do I need to have / bring?

  • You'll need an acoustic guitar (steel strings - not a nylon stringed classical). Nothing fancy - you can pick up a brand new Rogue or Jasmine from Guitar Center for under $100. I can always help you pick one out if you need help. I can also do a setup for you to make playing as smooth and easy as possible.
  • We'll be loosely following the Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1. You should buy yourself a copy so you can keep up on home practise and exercises.
  • A guitar pick or two will probably come in handy :-)
  • It's a good idea to have a tuner, too. These come in all shapes and sizes (and prices!). You could also get a tuner app on your phone.

How long are the lessons?

I aim to be available for an hour every Thursday, from noon until 1pm. I'll make myself available to everyone who's there and split my time as best as I can. If we end up with too many people to handle, we can look into expanding the lesson slot to 2pm.

If you've been playing a while and you see a beginner struggling a little - feel free to help out!

How long is the program?

The plan is for you to work through the Hal Leonard book over roughly fifteen weeks / lessons. At that point you should be easily able to play over 100 songs! After that (and if more students arrive!) I'd love for you to pay it forward and help them through the same program. We're in it together! :-)

What about advanced stuff? Theory?

If you have the inclination, I've got the info! We can add theory into your learning, and if you're really keen we can continue to work on your studies after you're done with the Hal Leonard book.
