Good morning all! I am a student at Polytechnique Montréal (20 years old) and I love music, especially the guitar. Are you a guitar beginner? It is not serious! I'll teach you to read tabs, chords etc... If you're motivated to learn to 'scratch' as we say in the jargon, well, you just had to say it! Even if you don't have a guitar, I can bring mine and you can get an idea of your interest in the instrument! I can also help you improve your singing if you want to sing+play guitar. Thank you and long live rock'n'roll!
Ps: I have already given private lessons.
English is fine too!

Good morning! Student at Polytechnique Montreal during the year, I offer refresher courses in mathematics and physics.
The goal being to progress, I think the best option is regular monitoring. That's why I will give additional exercises for the next session to better understand the student's shortcomings. Looking forward to sharing the passion of science!

My typical course would go like this:
First meeting: Familiarization with the instrument, the basics, what is a chord, tuning the guitar, etc.
Then: At each lesson a little theory, always applied, and obviously practice, learn pieces and / or repeat those already learned, to measure the progress of the student. At the end of the course I would give technical advice, things to practice or listen to if the student wants to go further. I don't intend to make myself indispensable, on the contrary I want to give the basics so that you can manage and have fun as quickly as possible.
One meeting per week is the best to have rapid progress, but I also adapt to the needs and capacities of the student, the main thing is that the guitar is always a pleasure, and never a chore!

Guitarist with 9 years of experience, having already played in several groups and associations, often specialized in rhythm, but also sometimes soloist. I still participate in jam sessions from time to time.
I myself learned with a particular teacher for the basics before continuing as an autodidact, but the best training remains to play in a real group.
I can initiate you or consolidate your bases and make you practice by making you play with me.
I always take my students' tastes into account because I think you have to like what you do to want to progress, so I don't force them to work on a style or songs that they don't like.

I will teach you:
- to read tablatures,
- the basics of music theory such as scales,
- the notion of rhythm and how to hold it,
- different rhythmic and solo techniques, as well as playing with fingers or with a plectrum (= a pick)

I have an electric guitar and an electro-acoustic one, whatever your style, I can teach you to play on electric or on acoustic. I also have a little knowledge on the material side of guitars and accessories, how to choose the right material is also important!
