For beginning students, I typically start with the Hal Leonard Method Books. Once the student can get the basics down I start with basic rock and pop tunes, or whatever music the student happens to be interested in.

I try to keep the student engaged and having fun no matter what but at the same time becoming a better musician. Read More
