Dave

Greetings! With over 15 years dedicated to playing acoustic guitar, I bring a wealth of experience and passion to the table. My journey with the guitar has been a rich tapestry woven with dedication, exploration, and a deep love for music. Through countless hours of practice, performance, and teaching, I've cultivated a unique approach that resonates with students seeking not just technical proficiency, but a holistic understanding and appreciation of the instrument.

As a seasoned guitarist, I embody several qualities that students find invaluable in their learning journey. Firstly, patience is paramount. I understand that mastering the guitar is a process that unfolds differently for each individual. Whether you're struggling with chord changes, wrestling with fingerstyle techniques, or deciphering the intricacies of music theory, I'm here to provide patient guidance every step of the way.

Although I'm a big believer in putting you in the driving seat for what you'd like to learn, here's a list of things I can cover in my first set of lessons:

1. Guitar Anatomy: Understand the parts of the guitar
2. Tuning: Learn how to tune the guitar
3. Learn basic chords
4. Strumming Patterns
5. Fingerstyle Technique
7. Reading Tabs and Chord Diagrams
8. Basic Music Theory
9. Rhythm and Timing
10. Simple Songs
11. Posture and Hand Positioning
12. Guitar Maintenance
13. Ear Training
14. Practice Routine

By covering these basics, you'll build a strong foundation for your acoustic guitar journey.

Alternatively, feel free to suggest specific topics you'd like me to cover or any lessons you'd like to skip and I'm more than happy to accommodate.
