Learn how to play electric guitar with an English speaking teacher

From 56.65 C$ /h

I am a pro guitar player with 30 years' experience. I play in the US rock band One Eleven Heavy but am based here in Valencia, Spain.

I will take you through the basics of guitar playing - forming chord shapes, learning picking and strumming techniques, playing simple songs. Once we have a few basics down, I will start to take you through various scales and modes, enabling you to learn how guitar players construct chords and solos, all of which lead to the ability to write songs.

We can start at your level and work at your pace. Each and every learner has her/his own speed and style of learning and that will be fully taken into account. We can devise a programme of learning before you even pick up the guitar to practise. Ideally classes will take place in my home in Náquera, Valencia, as face-to-face work is much more conducive to achievement, but I am also available to educate online via Zoom/Teams.

I am not a Spanish speaker, so these classes are primarily for those who speak English. However, we can very likely proceed even if you don't speak English as music is, of course, universal.

Extra information

Bring your own guitar, fully strung. Ideally electric.

I teach piano classes for all levels and ages, in my piano studio in Alboraya, as well as at the student's home, traveling to the entire city of Valencia and the surrounding towns, as well as further afield studying supplements. I also teach online classes.

I also prepare for conservatory exams, auditions, recitals and competitions.

You will achieve quick and effective results in my personalized classes, working on all aspects of the training of a good student or pianist, such as biomechanical principles, body and hand relaxation, technique, concentration, stage fright, harmonic, stylistic, interpretive analysis, promoting the student's motivation to ensure that the creative process flows at all times.

In addition, I help my students find performances for their music as well as other opportunities such as competitions and residencies. My students have gone on to have productive professional careers as well as others enjoying the fruits of being an amateur composer.

I adapt my classes to the specific needs and requirements of my students so that they learn what they really want.
I like my students to study music with pleasure, treating all topics in a light but concrete way.
My idea is to teach class by talking little and touching a lot to trigger a natural learning process.

As a music lover, I would love to share key teachings for piano and percussion, being very practical in everything related to Musical Language, and yes, it is like a language, in the end you improve by practicing the "language!"
