There’s a million different approaches, and we’ll find the one(s) that work best for you. Everyone (even more traditional classical players) tend to take their own path to guitar mastery. This is in part why new techniques and styles of playing are popping up all the time! When starting out, I like to lay a good foundation; teaching students proper hand positioning and posture first.

Piano - I typically start with Dozen A Day and books that stress technique.

Guitar - Like piano, technique is where I begin. Read More
