Jack - Know your guitar teacher

My name is Jack MacCallum, a guitar tutor and sound recording diploma student. I specialize in guitar and music theory lessons for beginners and intermeadiate students. I have been playing guitar for over eight years. I have studied with prominent jazz and folk musicians in my area. I am very knowledgable on chords, chord progressions and creating and playing melodies. By trade I am a sound engineer, someone who recordings and produces records, albums and anything that has recorded sound. I record myself and others, creating singles and EPs in many different genres. I will tailor each lesson to the student’s interest. Whether it be acoustic, electric, fingerstyle or strumming, I am happy to cover any aspect of the instrument and music in general. I believe music is deeply personal experience and shouldn’t be a rigid one. Each student is different, has different interests and abilities. I know the importance of having a hood teacher when it comes to the arts. My first music teacher helped me discover my love of music and creating. This changed the trajectory of my life. I now study music and music production and have met many great people through music. My hope is that I can share that experience with others. Let’s start strumming!

Guitar concepts taught by Jack

Student learned 10 days ago

The Student and Tutor reviewed previously learned guitar chords and practiced chord switching, focusing on the E minor to G transition. They learned and practiced a new chord progression (G, C, D, A minor) and discussed the concept of muting during chord changes to maintain rhythm. The session also included an introduction to basic music theory, covering major/minor chord construction, fretboard logic, and the importance of patterns. The Tutor recommended daily practice and specific YouTube channels for further music theory study.
