"THE EVERYTHING GUIDE TO LEARNING GUITAR"
Over the course of the past ten years + I have been working on my comprehensive tuition guide for guitar: THE EVERYTHING GUIDE TO LEARNING GUITAR. This guide takes students from Beginners - literally from the first "I-might-want-learn-guitar..." thoughts - to Advanced: Grade 8 & Beyond. It is tailored specifically to cater to the needs of each individual student. I am very proud of it.
So whether you wish to become a rock star in your own living room, an acoustic singer-songwriter playing your own material, a lead guitar hero, be a complete musician up to Grade 8 standard, go on to teach guitar yourself, or maybe you're just struggling with that one solo and need a bit of help, or something in between all of the above? I can tailor lessons to suit your requirements. I've taught students not much taller than my waist all the up to retirement age. It's never too late to start. Please CONTACT.
Each SECTION of the book has multiple videos uploaded to my YouTube page playlist. Each video has an accompanying resource sheet, showing you in detail the parts that you are learning.
The full tuition guide can be viewed here.
As I said above THE EVERYTHING GUIDE TO LEARNING GUITAR is sectional, I am uploading sections to the YouTube Playlist all the time and you can view EVERYTHING by clicking here. Each LIVE section, and what it briefly entails, can be seen below. To view the individual sections in more detail inc. the videos and accompanying sheets, please click the heading for each one.
