Guitar Lesson Information

9-25-2006

Rob,

I ran across your ad in NUVO recently and decided to have a look at your web site. I like the no-nonsense look and approach. I particularly enjoyed the Robservations.

I'd also like to remind you how much your teaching and encouragement meant to me back in the mid-late 1980s. I'd had a few teachers and they were all good players and could show me how to do things, but as teachers they lacked what you have in spades - empathy, and what is empathy after all but love? I knew then that I had some talent, but your empathy for the diffficulty every student is faced with was the difference for me. It helped draw out of me the desire I needed then, and also the confidence. I'm still not the player I could be, but you taught me how to love myself through the difficulty of learning an instrument. So when I have a hard thing to do musically, I still draw upon your teaching. And also, by the way, it finds its way into other aspects of my life.

I was reminded by your comments on the path of least resistence that you are a parent, and I seem to remember that you have a daughter. I hope she is well, and it sounds like she has a good dad.

Whenever someone asks me if I know a good guitar teacher, I always refer them to you. I say, "I know a great guitar teacher.”

Hope our paths cross sometime again before too long.

Take care;

In the FREE INTRODUCTORY LESSON I meet the student and make sure that they know how to read and interpret either tablature or manuscript. The next goal is to help the student coordinate eye-brain-hand coordination.
For a total beginner I get into chords and simple chord solos (melodies) in the first month.
At this point I usually know what style he/she wants and go in that particular direction.
