Guitar Lessons
I teach beginner guitar and specialize in classical fingerpicking style guitar. We will learn basic chords and strumming patterns as well. I also like to analyze the fretboard notes and interval relationships, and playing different scales across the guitar.
I love to invent different fingerpicking patterns using chords and chord embellishments. This is very fun for learning, 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
