Tomás - Know your guitar teacher

I'm Tomás Insaurralde, a seasoned guitar tutor with over 7 years of experience. My journey with music began long ago, shaping my belief that music is best enjoyed when shared within a community. I honed my skills under the guidance of esteemed mentors and even pursued the Advanced Guitar Performance program at La Colmena in Argentina. Having been part of successful music projects as a guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, I now pour my expertise into teaching. At Garage, where I'm a co-director, we've crafted a unique teaching method centered around songs and group rehearsals, now seamlessly adapted for online learning without compromising the warmth of in-person lessons. My approach is tailored to each student's aspirations and skill level, focusing on making learning enjoyable and fulfilling through personalized lessons. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, my lessons in chord progressions, fingerstyle techniques, music theory, and more are designed to help you grow and excel in your musical journey. Let's strum our way to mastering the guitar together!

Erin then dedicated time to practicing chord transitions and began tackling "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," concentrating on rhythm and singing along. For her practice back in Fort Worth, Erin was tasked with refining the song, experimenting with a capo to discover a comfortable vocal register, and curating a Spotify playlist for Tomi to consider for future song selections.
