Acoustic Guitar & Music Theory for Beginners and Intermediates

From 58.32 C$ /h

As a self-taught guitar player, I know how confusing and overwhelming it can be; but doesn't have to be!!

Over the past 8 years, my journey has led me through pop, rock and jazz and I would love to help and guide you on your journey of learning to play and understand the music YOU love and enjoy - I will tailor my teaching to your tastes and skill level. I can teach in English and Croatian.

Join me for a no-strings-attached first session to see what I can offer you. Feel free to get in touch if you are interested in any of the following:

- learning and mastering chord voicings and quicker chord changes
- strumming and picking patterns, and how to mix them and improvise your own variations
- fingerpicking basic and intermediate techniques
- scales and basics of improvisation over chord changes
- basic and advanced concepts of music theory and how to apply them on the guitar (e.g. transposing on the fly, understanding keys and common patterns in music)
- ear training for quickly learning songs and melodies without tabs or chord sheets

I have a very flexible schedule and can come to your home for lessons, and also provide pdfs/printouts of important concepts and practice materials.

Extra information

You need to have your own guitar! Other than that, I can take care of most other things we need during our in-person sessions.

I have been teaching for more than 15 years, first in my hometown Buenos Aires (Argentina) and since 2019 in Austria (Graz and Vienna).
Classes are 100% personalized, following the student's wishes/requirements but also my experience to determine what we should achieve.
Some of the topics may include:
- Accompaniment of songs.
- Playing solos (Rock/Pop)
- Jazz and improvisation
- Classical music
- Harmony, counterpoint, and music theory. Composition.
I have a pre-meeting with the student, where we get to know each other, talk about music and other interests, and then create a personalized study plan for the first classes.

Der Unterricht wird zu 100 % individuell gestaltet und richtet sich nach den Wünschen und Anforderungen der SchülerInnen, aber auch nach meiner Erfahrung, um zu bestimmen, was wir erreichen sollen.
Some topics may be:
- Song recommendations.

- Jazz and improvisation
- Classical music
- Harmony, Contrapunkt and Music Theory. Composition.
Ich habe ein vorheriges Treffen mit dem Schüler, bei dem wir uns kennenlernen, über Musik andere Interessen sprechen, damit ich einen individuellen Lernplan für die ersten Stunden erstellen kann.

On the bass, you accomplish heroic things in the background: Since the human ear organizes music from low to high, ... the bass determines how chords are heard. He is also the link between rhythm and harmonies in the ensemble. From this great power comes great responsibility!

With me you will learn to deal with this responsibility. We play your favorite music and expand your musical horizons by promoting your expression, hearing and creativity. In addition, we work on your technique, rhythm, coordination, imagination and your musical knowledge, so that you can develop your musical skills more and more independently and more freely (with or without notes) step by step.

I also teach electric guitar, piano and ukulele for beginners in a public music school. I am happy to pass on my experiences there in private lessons. I will put together an individual practice program for you and teach you your favorite songs.

Guitar Classes (classical with nylon strings ; acoustic with steel strings ; and/or electric) in Vienna or online in various languages (ENG/GER/FRA/ESP)

Pedagogue with more than 10 years of experience in scholar and extracurricular contexts is offering his expertise as a guitar teacher for new interested students of all ages. Classes are held in person in Vienna's 3rd district, and can be of course prolonged into the school year.

My class is based on various but well structured classical methods, however Pop and modern music remains an important aspect of the learning process, so the various wishes and aspects of guitar playing can be achieved by beginners and advanced students. A vast well catered repertoire and personalized arrangements will be provided for each student individually.

Many groups projects with guitars as well as other music instruments were very successfully realized over the years, and many of my students have also succeeded in competitions and important (solo) performances.
Prep classes for competitions as well as entrance exams at music institutions are also very possible!

Every year there are two student concerts in a beautiful concert hall in the 3rd district (December and June)

Hi!
My name is Bruno, I'm a Guitar player based in Vienna and I've been teaching for over 2 years now.
I believe that music can be very easy and fun to learn if you keep things fresh and interesting for your students.
That's why the lessons are individually tailored to you!! We will work a lot on the things you're actually interested in learning, the type of music you want to learn and some essentials so that you can get most out of your playing.

Learn the guitar in a relaxed and fun environment! I aim to make every lesson an adventure, with the focus being on enjoyment and exploration, rather than urgency. Music is about personal expression and connection, and that is exactly what these lessons will be about.

If you want to practice English, I am happy to run classes in my native language, but can also teach in German if preferred.

One of the best parts of music is learning to write your own! I can work with you to write and compose a song of your own. There's nothing quite like creating your own songs, and I can guide you along this journey, give you the tools to get started, or help you fine-tune one already in the works.

I also have significant knowledge of recording and guitar processing in DAW software and can assist in that area as well.

Hello! My name is Matei, I am 21 years old, I have been studying guitar for over a decade and I have 5 years of experience in the teaching domain. I am currently studying jazz at the Jam Music Lab conservatory in Vienna. I have studied classical guitar for 5 years, electric guitar for another 5 years, and jazz guitar for 3 years.

I can teach you music theory concepts ranging from fundamentals like chords, intervals, scales, and arpeggios to the more advanced: circle of fifths, modes, tensions, and triads. Regarding the technical aspect of guitar playing, I can create a good practice routine for the improvement of different styles of playing such as alternate picking, fingerpicking, legato, taping, hybrid picking, economy picking, etc.
Although these concepts may sound frightening at first, I can help you understand them more easily.

The lessons are thought to be suitable for beginners who never picked up a guitar before, intermediate players who know some songs and fundamentals but don't know what to do next, and advanced players who want to deepen their skills.

I can also help you build a good foundation for improvising over any tune you like, help you master composition, and teach you music-making and recording programs such as Reaper, to be able to start your solo projects.

I will provide my personal insights regarding what I think you should improve, but I can also just help you learn something specific like a song you want to play.

Do you want to learn how to play various styles while having fun? Or you just feel stagnated and you dont progress anymore?
Then you should try out my classes: I dont specialize in any specific style, but I grew to learn at least the basic tricks of the main styles (flamenco, blues, acoustic folk, electric pop, a bit of jazz)
It would truly be a pleasure to me to show you the keys about becoming a better guitar player, the details that make the difference. I can of course also show you how to play specific songs that you like, and how to slowly figure songs and melodies out by ear. If necessary I will correct your technique and show you how to maintain your guitar.

Ill be looking forward to you!
Pablo

Hi! My name is Finlay.
I'm a 26 year old musician from Ireland.
I have been playing guitar for 12 years.
I offer classes for beginner and intermediate guitar players personalized to your tastes. I want to get people who are new or improving excited to play music and give them the skills to play the way they wish they could. The way I teach my class is by breaking down your favourite songs and helping you master the techniques used so you can use them yourself. The key to learning guitar is learning to play what you love.
I love playing music and helping others to enjoy it as well. I will design my classes to suit your tastes and goals.
I offer classes in English. I speak German but not enough to provide the best lessons I can.
So if you would also like to practice your English, then we could be a perfect fit!
