Guitar Lessons in San Antonio’s Musical Spirit
Picking Up Chords with Ease
San Antonio’s music-filled streets, from River Walk strummers to local band gigs, make it a great place to start guitar. Students like Olin and Leilani, guided by Raine Stern, practice songs like Declan McKenna’s "Brazil," focusing on chords like C# minor. They work on smooth chord changes with a metronome, perfect for practicing at home or a shady spot in Brackenridge Park.
Raine teaches students to picture chord shapes in their minds, helping Leilani play "I Told You Things" confidently. The city’s blend of country and indie vibes, heard at events like Fiesta, inspires students to try new chord styles, keeping lessons fresh and fun.
Getting Started with Fingerpicking
Fingerpicking feels natural in San Antonio’s warm, relaxed evenings. Olin practices the pentatonic scale for songs like "Cigarette Daydreams" by Cage the Elephant, using Raine’s simple exercises to get his fingers moving together, similar to a local craftsman refining their work.
Dalia learns the intro to Jack Johnson’s "Upside Down," focusing on clean finger movements. Raine’s practice videos, shared via Google Drive, help students improve at their own pace, fitting into busy days like a quick coffee stop at a Southtown café
Strumming in Guitar Lessons
Strumming gives songs their heartbeat, and in lessons, Olin and Dalia practice patterns like down-down-up-up for "Like a Tattoo" by Shade. Raine adds drop D tuning for a richer sound, capturing the energy of a San Antonio night out. Students share playlists with Raine to choose songs they love, making practice feel like a jam with friends.
Learning song parts like bridges preps students for small gigs, maybe at a local open mic or a backyard hangout in Alamo Heights, where music brings people together
Growing Confident with Every Note
Mastering guitar tricks like slides or bends builds confidence. Olin works on lead parts for Gracie Abrams’ songs, guided by Raine, aiming for a clear, bold sound. Her suggestion to check out a used Stratocaster at GuitarTex fits San Antonio’s practical, music-loving vibe.
Dalia’s progress on "Upside Down," with chords like E major, shows her steady improvement. Lessons help students feel ready to play for friends or at a cozy spot like a downtown café, supported by the city’s welcoming, creative community.
