As your online guitar instructor, Andrew focuses on helping you build real skills that translate into confident, enjoyable playing. Here's what you can expect to learn:
- Foundations for Beginners
Learn how to hold the guitar properly, tune it, and play basic chords and strumming patterns. You’ll also start learning simple songs early on to build confidence and rhythm. - Chord Progressions and Song Structure
Understand how chords work together in a song, and how to move between them smoothly. - Fingerpicking and Lead Guitar Skills
Once you’re comfortable with the basics, lessons can explore fingerstyle techniques, soloing, scales, and riffs—depending on your musical goals. - Reading Tablature and Music Notation
You’ll learn how to read tablature (TAB) as well as standard music notation if desired. This gives you the tools to learn songs more efficiently and understand what you’re playing. - Music Theory Made Simple
Gain a basic understanding of how music works—scales, keys, intervals, and more. It’s presented in a way that’s easy to apply directly to your playing. - Improvisation and Playing by Ear
Learn to recognize patterns in music and develop your ear, so you can jam along with others, create your own solos, or figure out songs by listening. - Personal Song Projects
Bring in your own song ideas or favorite tracks, and we’ll break them down together. This keeps lessons fun and relevant to what inspires you.
Our online guitar instructor adjusts the lesson plan based on your goals, helping you get the most out of each session. Whether you're learning for fun, preparing for a performance, or working toward long-term musical development, we're here to support your journey.
