Spencer - Know your guitar teacher

I am a self taught player with over 4 years of experience. I was in a jazz band for 3 years where i learnt how to read chord shapes and sheet music. I am currently in a metal band, and i produce and write my own music. I can teach you how to become any kind of guitar player you want to be wether it be a blues legend or a metal god. Ive spent most of my time learning technique and theory. I can teach you how to write better riffs, better chord progressions for your songs and even producing songs if your interested in that aswell. My lessons are tailored to your individual goals and experience level. Whether you’re picking up a guitar for the first time or you’ve been playing for years and feel stuck, I’ll help you make real progress with a structured but enjoyable approach. We’ll focus on the styles and songs you love while building the techniques and knowledge needed to become a confident musician. I believe learning guitar should be exciting, rewarding, and practical, so every lesson is designed to give you skills you can immediately apply to your own playing and songwriting. My goal is to help you become the guitarist you’ve always wanted to be while making the learning process fun, motivating, and easy to understand.

The Student and Tutor worked on essential guitar techniques, focusing on improving chord switching timing with a metronome and refining strumming patterns by emphasizing a loose wrist. They practiced fretting hand exercises for finger independence, learned efficient chord fingerings for smoother transitions, and explored new techniques like hammer-ons and palm muting. Homework included practicing these techniques and preparing to learn specific songs in the next session.

The Student and Tutor commenced an introductory guitar lesson, focusing on the Student's preference for melodic, Flamenco-style music. They covered essential first steps including using a tuning app, establishing proper posture, understanding string names and frets, and practicing the basic technique for fretting clean notes and simple strumming. The Tutor plans to provide a written practice plan, emphasizing chords, to support the Student's learning given their memory challenges.
