Guitar Lessons: Engaging Techniques for Beginner to Advanced Players

I'm Patrick Lenon, a dedicated and passionate guitar tutor with a Bachelor's degree and over 14 years of hands-on teaching experience. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of guiding students of all ages and skill levels—from absolute beginners to advanced players—on their unique musical journeys. I offer comprehensive instruction in Bass Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, and Electric Guitar, drawing from a deep well of practical knowledge and musical versatility. My teaching philosophy is centered around a personalized approach that adapts to each student’s goals, pace, and preferred learning style. Whether you're interested in mastering Chord Progressions, refining your Fingerstyle technique, or diving deep into the intricacies of Music Theory, I’ll craft lessons that align with your aspirations and challenge you to grow. I also incorporate ear training, improvisation, and songwriting elements for those looking to expand creatively. Whether you're a school student looking to develop a new talent, a college-goer aiming to sharpen your skills, or a working professional seeking a fulfilling artistic outlet, my lessons are designed to be flexible, engaging, and results-driven. Let’s work together to transform your passion for music into real, measurable progress—one chord at a time. It’s time to tune in, level up, and let your musical voice be heard!

🔷 1. Customized Lesson Planning No two students are alike—so no two lesson plans are either. Lessons are: Skill-based (chord transitions, strumming, scales, soloing). Style-oriented (rock, blues, pop, classical, jazz, etc.). Theory-integrated to develop a deeper musical understanding. Adjusted weekly based on progress and feedback. 📌 Why this matters: Students stay engaged when lessons feel relevant and achievable 🔷 2. Technique + Theory = Musical Freedom Core focus areas include: Chord Progressions – mastering rhythm and harmony. Fingerstyle Techniques – control, precision, and expression. Scales & Improvisation – lead playing and creative expression. Music Theory – applied knowledge that enhances everything from songwriting to soloing. 📌 Why this matters: Theory supports creativity. Technique fuels confidence. 🔶 3. Flexible Practice Plans Each student receives: A weekly customized practice schedule (20–60 mins/day). Clear daily goals with measurable outcomes. Tips for effective home practice, even with limited time. 📌 Why this matters: Structured practice = consistent progress. 🔶 4. Ongoing Feedback & Support Constructive, encouraging feedback during and after lessons. Open communication via email or messaging for quick questions. Periodic check-ins to adjust goals or refresh lesson direction. 📌 Why this matters: Music learning is a journey, and support along the way is key to success.
