About Me
My name is Ludo, I am 47 years old. I've been a guitarist for about 30 years, professionally for 20/25 years.

A member of several groups during my career, I have done a lot of scenes, recorded in the studio, and for 11 years I have done concerts and tours with a rock band based in London, UK, of which I was the main songwriter.

I started to teach guitar 6 years ago, alongside my musical projects, and I discovered a new pleasure and a new motivation.
It has become my main activity for 5 years.

Sharing my experience, transmitting my passion for the guitar, turned out to be the natural and logical evolution in the continuity of my professional career.

Since this reconversion I have learned a lot.

From my experience as a musician, I have the theoretical knowledge necessary for the application of a complete musical education.
But in practice, faced with apprentice guitarists of all ages, levels, characters, abilities, one cannot delude himself for long without any organizational method or preparation.

In short, being a good guitarist does not guarantee being a good teacher.

Being naturally sociable, I have always liked communication, human contact, and I have always thought as a musician that it is important to know how to listen.
It is in this very intuitive way, and nevertheless armed with a solid experience of the instrument and musical knowledge, that I took the first steps as a teacher.
Since then, I have taught over fifty students, of all ages and levels.

Being passionate about music, I have always invested a lot in my lessons (from the start). My method has been refined and adapted. I especially learned to develop the pedagogical aspect, at the center of the teacher / student relationship so that the transmission is the best possible.

I saw too many young students who came dragging their feet to pick up the guitar, after stopping, because of too rigid and theoretical teaching, which had discouraged them.
My goal is to help students achieve their goals, to exceed them if possible, on a very simple basic notion: PLEASURE ...

I always tend to establish a relationship of trust and sharing with the students, so that the course is a space of motivation and pleasure.
When the practice of the guitar is no longer an ordeal but a desire, or even a need, it changes everything in the process of learning the instrument.

Having fun playing, rehearsing, looking forward to the next lesson is for me the key to working on your guitar playing and staying motivated, to move forward and really improve.
Education
° Proficiency (Master 2) English
° Bac A3 letters / plastic arts
° Conservatory of music in Paris:
2 years old piano from 7 years old, 3 years old guitar at 10 years old, and 1 year old drums around 13-14 years old.
At the age of 15 I definitely chose the guitar as my main instrument.

Having grown up in a permanent musical environment, favorable to learning and practice (multi-instrumentalist father, professional musician friends) I continued my training in a self-taught way.
Experience / Qualifications
I started playing as a semi-pro at 17-18 years old, and became a professional musician almost 30 years ago.
For 11 years (90s) I played in the London based rock band “WFK” (guitar / vocals and songwriter) with whom I have performed extensively and toured Great Britain and Europe.

Since then, I have participated in many projects and musical collaborations, in London, Paris, Morocco, and Switzerland (Dead Plants, We Free Kings, Femme Fatale, BSA, Elephant Rouge)

I had the chance in my career to meet and play with artists such as: Jacques Higelin, PJ Proby, Nino Ferrer, Mickey Finn, and Mick Taylor, ex-guitarist of the Rolling Stones.

I teach guitar for 5 years parallel to my musical projects.
The pleasure of sharing, of teaching, has become as essential to me as the pleasure I have in playing the guitar.

Guitarist for 30 years, I have acquired great experience in music.

The aim of this course is to learn to play with other musicians.
This is the essence of music for a musician.

This course is an opportunity to play “live”, or “live”.
Playing LIVE is not only playing in front of an audience, it's playing IN THE MOMENT.

One of the things I see most often in class: a student playing a sequence of chords, a riff or a musical motif, who makes a mistake, and stops in his tracks to replay the missed game .
This sort of thing, like leaving a blank in the passage between two chords, should not happen when you practice enough.
The whole point of playing live is to keep playing even if you make a mistake. This is how we really progress.

Playing live with another musician is:

- play respecting the rhythm
- know how to balance the sound
- listen to the other, the other's game
- develop your own game, while integrating and respecting each other's game
- improvise, alone and / or in pairs
- play in the moment, develop musical spontaneity
- play without a net, “catch up” on an error, whether it is ours or that of the other musician
- above all, one of the advantages of playing with other people is the immense PLEASURE that it provides - an incomparable feeling of satisfaction.
- the other big advantage is that we progress ten times faster! :)

A typical course will be divided into two parts:
- the LIVE part, where we will play the song (s) studied
- the more theoretical part, or learning, where we will return to what we have played as a basis for work and improvement

As a working material / tool, we will record the live sessions, which will be used to listen again, target the points to be worked on, and as a reference for the progress achieved.
In addition, the student will be able to listen and work from the recordings at home, or in his spare time.

All stages of learning are important, and the usual, more “normal” lessons are fundamental, especially for those who are starting out or who are in a stuck phase, that is to say they feel limited or do not unable to move to a higher level.

In all these cases, it is better to start with more classic courses.
I give this kind of course too, don't hesitate to contact me, I can help you better assess your level, define your goals and help you reach them.

I look forward to sharing with you my passion for the guitar!
See you soon.

Hello everyone,

Since the health crisis linked to covid-19, home lessons are not always easy.
Doing a guitar lesson 2 meters away with a mask is not necessarily ideal!
That's why I decided to create this online guitar lesson, which also solves the distance problem for those who live a bit far away.

All Levels: beginner to advanced
All Styles:
Rock, Blues, Folk, Song, Alternative etc ...

- Learning songs by tablatures
- Ranges: major, minor pentatonic, mixolydian etc ...
- Learning agreements, open tunings
- Work of rhythm
- Ear development and improvisation
- Composition: learn to write, compose a song

I invest a lot in my classes.
I adapt to the students and their personality to make them progress on a basic principle: the pleasure of playing.
It is for me the key to staying motivated and to progress.

It is also in this way that as a teacher, I always have a great motivation to teach others.

I look forward to meeting you and sharing with you my passion for the guitar.

Classes can also be given in English.

Feel free to leave me a message for more information, I would be happy to answer you!

Folk or classical acoustic guitar.

The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation.

For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...).

For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...).

Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points:

-Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear
- Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords
- Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand
- Learning of different pieces of your choice
- Left hand control exercises, speed and precision
- Learning arpeggios
- Work around muscle memory
- Learning improvisation, musical play with others
- Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used
-Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results
-Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument
- Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone
-Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge
- Learn tablatures / tabs & in English.

Note :
- Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase.
- As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy.
- Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice.

THE TEACHER :
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
