For all students, I begin with asking them to show me what they already know, and to explain to me where they want to take their playing and what their goals for the future are.

For beginner students I like to emphasize fundamentals through playing simple and recognizable chords and riffs instead of only focusing on exercises, which can makes students bored and discourage them.

I also tend to use written material lending to the classical technique as a way to standardize practice times to structure individual progress outside of lesson time. Read More
