Guitar & Composition Lessons For all Ages: Find YOUR way on the Guitar!

From 58.32 C$ /h

Looking to grow as a guitarist and musician? Whether you’re starting out, or stuck beneath a musical “glass ceiling”, I offer fully personalized lessons mainly for intermediate but also to beginner level guitarists. I will be happy to discuss your or your child's needs and craft a course with you!

If you’re an intermediate player, here’s the steps:

- We’ll find out your level and current blocking points ⚠️
- We’ll carve a path together, targeting your weak spots (do you miss scales? modes? extended chords? arrangement theory? melodic development? and countless more)
- We’ll create material together, based on your ideas or ideas that I will provide you ✏️
- You’ll become an all-around player that can create ideas, express them clearly, and elaborate them tastefully, while improvising in real-time. 🤘

If you’re a beginner player of any age:

- We’ll figure out your vision (what do you listen to, and what would you like to sound like)
- We’ll start with basic but engaging material, so that you reach base musicality as fast as possible. You’d be surprised how creative you can become with a couple of constraints and a bit of engagement!
- We’ll slowly introduce the theory that sits behind your vision, the material, and your playing
- You’ll develop intuition on the instrument and fluid playing in your preferred genre: The world is now your oyster 🤘

About Me

I'm George, a guitarist and engineer based in Brussels. I've been playing guitar for 20 years, having gotten my first lessons in Blues and rock when I was 13 years old. I've played in many bands, played various shows, collaborated with many musicians in Greece, Canada and Belgium, and I've released tens of guitar-based or electronic songs.

After 6 years of guitar lessons in Blues rock and Jazz, I've continued exploring what's possible with the instrument on my own for the last 15 years; And I'm still learning everyday.

For the last 2 years I have been consolidating my own guitar method, basically content and systems fused by leaders in the field such as Joe Satriani, Pat Metheny, Tosin Abasi and more. I play in many genres, with Rock, Metal, Blues, Ambient and Fingerstyle being my main strengths.

Let's learn!

Experienced didgeridoo player to teach how to play the instrument. I offer classes at my home or at the student's home, or in the open air if the weather is nice. I can teach you basics, advanced techniques, and structures to play well. I also have a lot of exercises to work specific muscles.

Getting to make the sound is the first step. The basic sound, the drone is not obtained only by blowing in the instrument but by squeezing the lips slightly by letting them vibrate. Then there are 3 types of breaths to master. From a type of circular breathing already the game can become richer because the sound is continuously ....

The course that I propose is BILINGUAL FRENCH / ENGLISH, as well as 2 BOOKS.

Age and musical taste are not restrictive when in the program, you can with qualitative daily work (not quantitative) quickly observe your progress.

Here the pleasure of playing music is put forward.

The kind of music you love most will be the focus of the course, their codes and secrets will be the focus of our study, that's what I want to share with you.

We can do technical lessons and simply learn together how to play one or more songs of your choice or mine, enrich your game with this approach and your repertoire!

(For example, We can re-arrange the pieces and make them more original by approaching the system (CAGED), and enriching their chords, resulting in new positions, new techniques and new sounds, using arpeggio techniques rather than strumming for 4-chord pieces, voicing and fingerstyle techniques, in short, expanding the instrument's playing fields and playing skills to keep progressing in your game and improve your rehearsals ...)

If you make a request, this program is obviously accompanied by the pleasure of learning more in theory and being able to directly apply new knowledge on its instrument and identify its common or rare use in the pieces discussed in class.

In this case, the theory is translated to be accessible to anyone, both for those who are connoisseurs and for those who discover everything from absolute zero.
The exercises, songs, and theoretical explanations offered throughout the program are organized in an order of progressive difficulty.

I wrote and produced 2 books of my method to learn the guitar and the music, that I sell to accompany my course and your apprenticeship in the best conditions and so that you can continue the course even at home and to review etc ... .
There is ONE BOOK OF COURSES containing all the theoretical and practical program of the year, as well as a BOOK OF EXERCISE on the ranges and the modes that you can obtain directly.

You can find here an indicative list of objectives that I propose in my theoretical program, which can of course adapt to your request.

Whether you want to play just for fun or to become a professional pianist I can give you a personalised course. At the beginning of the course, I will evaluate your level and give you recommendations of what we can work on. There are two main types of courses:

- a hobbyist course: it won’t be time consuming. I will help you learn new pieces and a little theory and solfege. The primary goal of this course is to make you enjoy playing in your spare time without having to practice too much.

- a professional course: in this course I will help you reach the level of a professional musician. I will give you an insight of how to prepare a piece or pieces for a competition or an audition. I will also teach a lot of theory and solfege so that you can prepare for a conservatory or a school of music.
