Guitar Lessons
I teach beginner guitar and specialize in classical fingerpicking style guitar.
We will learn:
- Basic chords & Switching between chords
- Strumming patterns & Rhythm
- Singing songs with basic chords
- Fingerpicking patterns for using with chords
- Chord embellishments
- Music theory
- Notes across the fretboard
- Intervals, chords, scales
- Reading music basics
- Reading guitar tablature
- Nursery Rhymes / Scary Version
- Classical guitar songs
- Spanish classical guitar songs
Combining fingerpicking and chord embellishments is very fun, as you can easily use this technique to create your own beautiful improvised music.
Along with chords/strumming, improvising fingerpicking, I also like to teach different classical style fingerpicking songs such as:
- Spanish Romance
- Leyenda
- Greensleeves
- Scarborough Fair
- Malagueña
- Country Dance
- Canario
- Blackbird
I mainly use tabs for learning but I also like to teach some basics of reading music for the guitar for songs such as:
- Mary Had a Little Lamb / Mary Lost Her Little Lamb
- Ode to Joy / Ode to Sad
- Other traditional songs (can be very pretty when played as fingerpicking within chords) in both major and minor keys
