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.

In the program:

- Basic techniques: Good position of the instrument / Playing with a plectrum, Arpeggio / Open and barre chords / Chaining / Rhythms / Scales / Reading tablature / Basics of improvisation.
- The songs: Learning of standard songs in line with the techniques and chords seen previously / Learning the songs you would like to learn / Learning songs of all styles (Pop, Rock, Funk, Blues, Jazz etc ...)
- Practical cases: Being a multi-instrumentalist and component on Logic Pro X, I also create personalized backing tracks so that the students can apply concepts that we will have seen in class (such as improvisation).
- Other: Ear training / Composition / Project assistance / Recording.

I listen to the student and adapt to his goals. My goal is to make him independent and enjoy playing the guitar.

See you soon in my next class!

Hello, welcome to my ad!

My name is Matéo and I am 26 years old. I have been playing guitar for 9 years and teaching it for 5 years. After studying at the conservatory and music school, I obtained my Diploma of Musical Studies (DEM) specializing in jazz guitar. Over the years, I have been able to accompany around forty students, both in private lessons, group lessons and at the conservatory where I teach today.

OPTION1) The course I offer is aimed at beginner to intermediate level guitarists, of all ages (children too!), in acoustic and electric guitar.
My goal is to give you the essential basics of the instrument (body position, technique, chords) as well as an understanding of fundamental musical concepts (rhythm, ear, reading tablature and/or music theory) which will be very useful to you as a musician.
We will base our learning as quickly as possible on real pieces of music, if possible suggested by the student because I think that learning by playing the music you like is the most motivating method.
As a teacher, I have always adapted as best I could to each profile to make them learn in the way that suited them best, make them play the music they like, help them with their difficulties and push them to surpass themselves in their abilities.
Finally, I always make sure that the lessons take place in a calm and pleasant atmosphere so that the student progresses at their own pace and learns while having fun.

OPTION 2) This course is for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and musicians in general) who want to acquire a deeper understanding of music theory. What we can cover, depending on your needs: analysis, harmony, composition, transcription, improvisation, music theory, ...

Lessons can take place at my home, in the 15th arrondissement, or at the student's home where I can travel (for an extra) within a reasonable radius.

Declared via CESU (Universal Employment Service Check) or self-employed invoice.

The goal is to support you in your learning or in deepening your skills for experienced guitarists. I will rely for this on a vast repertoire of baroque music to the present day, including contemporary music (pop, chord charts...).
I adapt to everyone's needs and offer personalized support, particularly on technical difficulties, styles requested, lessons in support of a collective practice...
Welcome at all levels. Looking forward to meeting you and talking about music!

Pro guitarist, composer/producer for my group Cartoon Theory and in my name, and live session, I offer personalized lessons according to the musical tastes and the level of the student.

The long-term goal is for the student to become independent and acquire a good methodology allowing them to achieve their goals.

I propose different areas of work such as:

- The pure technique of the instrument (back and forth exercises, tapping, sweeping, scales, positioning of the hands on the neck, endurance, etc.)

- Practice where one or more pieces will be played, from one lesson to another in the student's desired style, and depending on the level.

- improvisation, therefore the acquisition of vocabulary (licks/plans) in order to be able to express oneself on accompaniments in all styles, and in different contexts, and make the link with theory.

- recording: depending on your ambitions, I can give advice on how to record yourself at home independently, whether it is practical or material.

- mixing in a home studio, to be able to create mixes yourself, understand concepts and processes for mixes in different styles.

- Composition: Having composed for different projects, I can teach the different ways of composing although it is relatively personal.

- Possibility of intensive COURSES over several days.

Prices will vary depending on the options chosen (intensive course, home lessons, etc.)

After dedicating 14 years to mastering the guitar, I've developed a comprehensive understanding of guitar playing, encompassing both foundational techniques and advanced music theory. In these lessons, I'll be sharing the wealth of knowledge I've accumulated over this extensive period of learning.

I will be covering a broad range of guitar techniques, including fingerpicking, strumming techniques, major and minor chords, power chords, barre chords, riffs, scales, finger warm-ups, practising any song of your choice, string bending, pull-offs, hammer-ons, harmonics, strumming patterns, and slides. All are provided with diagrams etc.
For music theory, I will begin by covering the fundamentals, including notes, strings, and the musical 12-note chromatic scale alphabet on the guitar. As students progress, we will delve into more advanced topics such as tones, semitones, chord progressions, circle of fifths, scale formulas and chord terminology. Additionally, we will explore concepts like consonance and dissonance and pitch practice to develop relative pitch. (You have to be born with perfect pitch but you can learn relative pitch with practise!)
Then advancing to jazz theory, we'll explore; jazz scale formulas, jazz chord progressions, swing techniques, major and minor 7th chords, major and minor 9th chords, dominant, augmented, half-diminished, diminished, sus2 and sus4 chords. And then jazz scales and the art of re-harmonising a song (changing the chords to jazz chords). All music theory will be intertwined with guitar practice as both can't be done without the other!

One observation I've made while learning guitar through lessons is that information is often doled out incrementally, making it feel like a breadcrumb trail. Guitar knowledge and skills seem to be closely guarded and usually gatekept unless actively sought out. I strongly believe that the extensive knowledge I've acquired over 14 years of playing should be fruitfully shared in a more comprehensive and accessible manner, of course while being tailored to the pace of the students. In essence, I'm convinced that the depth of my understanding I've gained could be effectively conveyed and learnt within a two-year timeframe without including the time it takes to master the skill with practice, of course, I'd like to make it easier for people to learn the guitar and the theory behind it.

I have also graduated with a distinction for my Music Performance and Production UAL Level 3 Course and a distinction in Fashion Communication which included my music playing at Central Saint Martins. I also have experience teaching guitar in London and Bristol before.

The lessons will be taught in English so practising your English with me is also a plus, a foundational knowledge of English is required to take the lessons.

I am a passionate guitarist and guitar teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching guitar to beginners and intermediate players. My teaching approach stems from a deep love of music, from transcribing solos and developing a personal style to composing and arranging for an instrumental album currently in production. For me, teaching guitar is much more than simply transmitting techniques: it's about sharing a vision of music and guiding each student toward their own artistic expression.

What I propose
Fully personalized individual lessons, tailored to your level, pace, and musical goals. Each lesson is built around you.

🎸 Chords, rhythms, picking, fingerstyle and playing techniques
🎵 Music theory applied to the guitar, in a simple and progressive way
👂 Ear training and introduction to transcription
🎶 Varied repertoire: pop, rock, folk, blues and acoustic styles
🌍 Courses taught in French or English
👶🧑🧓 All ages welcome: children, adults and seniors

My teaching approach:
I firmly believe that every student is unique. My lessons combine technical rigor with creative freedom, so you progress both as a guitarist and as a well-rounded musician. Beyond technique, I help you develop your musical sensitivity and confidence on the instrument.
Alongside teaching, I continue to perform, record and actively work on my own musical projects, which ensures that teaching is rooted in real and living musical practice, and not in theory alone.

Why choose my courses?
✅ Fully bilingual profile: courses in French or English
✅ Available in person in Paris or online (throughout the French-speaking world)
✅ Guaranteed quick response: I promise to reply to every message as soon as possible
✅ Total flexibility: availability adapted to your schedule

I am a professional and passionate guitarist and I give guitar lessons, acoustic or electric, to motivated students - all levels - and in styles as different as rock, jazz, gypsy jazz, blues, pop, funk etc.
(also bass and DAW)

Convinced that learning an instrument should be a joy, I adapt to the level and expectations of each individual and try to understand with them the best way to achieve the goals we will set together.
Not believing in THE method that works for everyone, my method is adaptive because it is tailored to the person in front of me and their request.

I have played with many artists, live and in the studio, in styles as diverse as rock (ITHAK), jazz (Archie Shepp, Christophe Chassol, Marc Ribot, Luc Ex), hip-hop (Mike Ladd), pop (Zaz), Afghan music (Farhad Darya), Senegalese music (Pape Djiby Ba), Turkish music (Cem Yildiz), Algerian music (Hakim Hamadouche) and am excited to share with you the experience I have accumulated over the years.

I speak English, French, Turkish, Spanish.
