Guitar Lessons and Exercises

If you follow my blog, you may have noticed that I don’t post an article every day. That’s because I’ve been trying to get back to focus on why I created this website in the first place- why I do what I do, and why it can help you.

Guitar Tuition

So, I’m a guitar teacher, and I want to help you to get the same enjoyment of playing guitar that I do. That’s right, I said “enjoyment”; I really enjoy playing my guitar, and I wish everyone could. That’s why I created this site, to help you.

Teaching private guitar lessons is how I started out, and it’s how I earn my money. Of course, the money has never been my main concern (otherwise I wouldn’t be offering all the free advice on this site); my main concern has always been the music- and teaching others to enjoy that music!

The advantages of private tuition are clear: I can see you in person, face to face. I will be able to talk with you about the music you love, and teach you how to play it. Overall, you will benefit from having someone there who can guide you through exactly what you need to know to be the guitarist you want to be.

If you like the sound of this (and live nearby) then please, don’t hesitate to contact me and we’ll arrange something . I’m based in Hampshire, England (near Berkshire and Surrey), so I appreciate there are many of you who visit my site who aren’t within reach. If you don’t happen to live within traveling distance, then I want this website to help you too!

Technical Exercises

If you take a look around this site, it shouldn’t take you long to find the exercises section. These exercises have been selected by me to be most helpful in your progression as a guitarist. If you would like to read about my ideas on guitar technique, you can either click on “Guitar Technique and Exercises” under the heading “Blog Categories” (currently on the left), or read about my ideas on the workings of the hand and the prevention of injury when playing guitar.

I plan to continue updating this section, and as I add each exercise I explain how it is useful and why it’s good for your guitar technique (as well as hints on how to play it effectively).

Lessons Section

The lessons section is the most recent section of my site. At the moment it is a collection of all the pages of my site that will teach you about technique or music, but I hope to extend it into something more.

You see, my ultimate aim with all this is to help as many people as possible, and I feel I can best do that by teaching. I could write all the articles I want and give you lots of useful tips that could help your playing, but the best way I can help you is by giving you lessons.

Of course, -this being my job- I couldn’t offer these lessons for free (sorry!), but this is what it comes down to: I want to help you, as a guitarist and as a musician- in any way I can. I have been working on, and will continue to work on ways in which I can achieve this. Any suggestions or comments on how I can do this for you are welcome

Rob.
