Guitar & Bass Guitar Lessons

General Information:

Additional Information:

• Students should have their own instrument. I have a limited number of acoustic guitars that rent for $15.00/month. If we are working with an electric guitar, there is no need to bring an amplifier.
• Payment for a month in advance is expected at the time of the first lesson of the month. Missed lessons will not be charged if I am notified within 24 hours of your appointment.
• During first lesson we decide what type of lesson materials to follow based on the student's current musical knowledge, tastes and goals.
• Typical lesson books for beginners are "Alfred's Basic Guitar Method", "Hal Leonard's Guitar Method" or "Mel Bay's Guitar Method". These books cost between $8.00 and $9.00
• For Intermediate level players, a course of study will be designed using a combination of books on music theory/scales, articles from various guitar magazine publications and song samples as taken from the student's targeted musical styles.
• Advanced students are offered topics on improvisation techniques, performance tips, and practical hints/advice for the working musician. Any musical topic concerning the guitar that you can think of can be raised and will be addressed to the best of my ability and experience.
