FAQs
Q- Do I need to know how to read music?
A- No, you do not need to know how to read music to take lessons. That said for advanced styles, it is recommended and I can teach you from the basics, to music analysis.
Q- I am a beginning student, what type of guitar should I be learning on, electric or acoustic?
A- I get this question a lot and the answer is either. If you like rock or metal styles of music that mostly feature electric guitar, start with an electric. If you like music that primarily features the acoustic guitar, then I would recommend learning on an acoustic.
Q- Are there any differences from playing acoustic to electric?
A- Yes ! There are many differences. Electric guitar is typically easier to play in a physical sense. The strings tend to be lighter and easier on the fingers. Acoustic guitar can be a little difficult to press down on the strings due to their thicker gauge.
Q- How should I prepare for my first lesson and what should I expect?
A- Your first lesson will be an evaluation lesson and from there, a lesson plan will be created to work towards your individual guitar playing goals. You will need to bring your guitar, picks, some extra strings, and a notebook or paper of some sort. I also allow video recording at the end of the lesson so you know exactly how I played the material for your lesson.
Q- How long are your lessons, are they weekly?
A- Lessons are a typically a half hour and are given on a weekly basis. You can however schedule one hour lessons as well depending if you feel you need the extra time.
We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
