Emer - Know your guitar teacher
Hi! I’m Emer, a passionate guitar tutor with over 15 years of experience. I’ve been playing since I was 7 and instantly fell in love with the instrument. Since then, I have completed all 8 classical guitar grades (with distinction) alongside teaching myself acoustic and fingerstyle guitar. I recently finished university and am excited to return to teaching. My lessons are tailored to each student’s goals, focusing on technique, musicality, and confidence. I have found that these focuses keep students engaged and make my lessons as productive as possible. I specialize in classical, acoustic, fingerstyle, chord progressions, and ear training. Whatever your style, I’m confident we can explore it together. Let’s make playing guitar something you truly love!

Guitar lessons quick guide
My teaching approach is centred around support, prioritising flexibility and student-focused learning. I believe making mistakes is a vital part of learning, and I create a space where students feel comfortable to ask questions and grow. I incorporate ear training into lessons to help build a strong musical foundation—especially helpful when reading music becomes challenging. With a diverse background in classical and acoustic guitar, I draw from a wide range of techniques to support each student's goals. I'm familiar with classical syllabus and beginner techniques to get you started on your guitar journey. I am also fully equipped for remote learning via Zoom, Google Meet, and more. No matter your level, I’ll work with your schedule and help you feel proud of your progress every step of the way.

Guitar concept taught by Emer
Emer guided an individual from Bako through guitar scale practice, starting with a review of the C major scale and introducing the A major and A minor scales. The learner worked on improving finger placement, speed, and fluidity while playing the C major scale, with Emer providing targeted feedback on technique. The lesson focused on scale practice and technique refinement.
Fluidity in Scales
C Major Scale (Descending)
C Major Scale (Ascending)
Finger Positioning Technique
Emer and an individual from Bakersfield reviewed the song "Imagine" and worked on scales. The individual practiced the chromatic scale and the C major scale, focusing on finger placement and plucking techniques. Emer assigned practice with the chromatic scale and promised to send fingerings for chords, with plans to add 10 minutes to the next lesson due to technical difficulties.

Right Hand Plucking for Scales
F Sharp Major Chord
B Minor Chord
Chromatic Scale Technique
Emer and Luke's guitar lesson centered on techniques like chord transitions and strumming patterns, applied to a Luke Combs song. Luke honed his finger positioning and practiced using a capo. Emer assigned him practice with the strumming patterns and maintaining the third finger on the correct string, also offering to send written strumming patterns.

Strumming Pattern for Chorus Intensity
Emer taught the individual the chords and strumming patterns for the first verse of "She Got the Best of Me" on guitar. The learner, who practices back home in Fort Worth, focused on chord transitions and strumming techniques, working towards playing along with the song's lyrics. Emer suggested using a capo on the fourth fret and practicing with guitar tabs, and they scheduled another lesson for next week.

Emer Reid guided a learner from Parkholme through learning the chorus of a song on guitar, following a review of the verse and bridge. They practiced chord transitions and different plucking patterns. Emer will send chord boxes for practice, and the individual will work on the song for the next lesson.

E7 Chord Formation
Emer Reid led a guitar lesson focusing on chromatic exercises, chord practice (C, G, Am, Em), tuning, and strumming techniques. A student, who attends Phoenix College, worked on finger placement, smooth transitions, and consistent strumming patterns during the lesson. Emer assigned chord box diagrams for practice and planned to work on learning a song incorporating these chords in the next lesson.
