In Home Guitar Lessons
Meet Sean
I have been playing guitar for over 30 years and teaching private guitar lessons for over 25 years. My students over the years have been a wide range of ages and levels. I was educated at Berklee College Of Music in Boston, MA where I received my Bachelor of Music degree. I am able to meet all my students exactly where they are at and set forth a plan to help them develop as a well rounded guitarist.
About The Lessons:
Ages:
9 and up
Levels:
Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
Styles I Specialize In:
Rock (all eras), Blues, Jazz, R&B/Soul, Funk, and Fingerstyle
Format:
Electric And Acoustic
Beginners
There are a few staples that we would deal with first which cover:
- basic right hand and left hand technique
- posture
- basic chord vocabulary
- notes on the fretboard
- introduction to notes, rhythms, and tablature
From there, I try to get students playing the music of their choice, though guitar based music is always ideal. I will also suggest songs that the student will enjoy from a variety of eras, but tick many of the boxes of building good technique and rhythmic sense.
For Intermediate:
These are students of all ages who have been playing a while, but are looking to advance their abilities but need help in how to go about that. I aim to present different paths relevant to the students musical interests that meet them where they are at. Topics can range from:
- Soloing over chord changes in styles they are interested in
- reading music
- learning more advanced songs in a more precise way
- advanced playing techniques
- introduction to chord types and construction
- intro to chord voicing techniques
- practice strategies
For Advanced Students:
These students are quite far along in their playing facility, but want to have a deeper awareness of the music language and how to apply it. Also, to hone their rhythmic skills and being comfortable playing in more advanced playing situations. Topics can range from:
- Advanced Music Reading
- Advanced Rhythmic Feel
- Advanced lead guitar skills
- Advanced Chord Scale Theory
- Advanced Songwriting Skills
- Advanced Practice Strategies
You will be in good company. I love what I do and have been teaching people of many ages for over 20 years.
There’s nothing more enjoyable than talking about and playing music with people.
