    You can start your acoustic guitar journey either with a 30 45 or 60 minute weekly lesson online, in person, or ‘on demand’. If you choose to do acoustic guitar tuition, you’ll be focusing on the finger-style technique, once beyond the basics where you can hear the chords, bass and melody in one arrangement.

    What is it?

     

    If you’re interested in learning the acoustic guitar with me, you can expect to learn the finger-style guitar method, which is where you can play the chord, bass, melody together within one arrangement, playing popular tunes by artists such as Tommy Emmanuel / Chet Atkins and perhaps your own arrangement too.

    Build Confidence

     

    Learning the guitar can build confidence by helping people see steady progress through practice and perseverance. As new chords, songs, and techniques are mastered, a sense of achievement grows, encouraging belief in one’s abilities. Performing for friends, family, or an audience can further strengthen self-confidence by improving communication and reducing fear of making mistakes.

    Deciding whether to have a 30, 45 or 60 minute lesson depends on where you’re at with your guitar playing. If you’re a complete beginner, you’ll be fine with 30 minutes which is enough time to get used to the feeling of playing guitar and expectations. You’ll usually be expected to upgrade to 45 or 60 minutes if you’re completing or starting out on your graded exams or you’re finding half an hour just isn’t enough time. Either way, the 30, 45 or 60 minute fee is x by 41 lessons / 12 months.
