Guitar lessons
Solid,
proven
and
effective
guitar
methods
are
used
as
well
as
self-written
teaching
materials.
Lessons
may
be
supported
with
mp3
recordings
made
during
the
lesson.
Depending
on
the
experience
and/or
preference
of
the
student,
the
lessons
are
given on classical, western/steelstring, electric guitar and bass guitar.
Classical guitar
The learning trajectory for classical guitar is subdivided into three stages:
Beginners
course,
Follow-up
course,
and
Third
year
course
in
which
all
important
basic
skills
are
mastered
to
get
the
student
on
a
clear
track
for
further
development
and
continuation
of
the
classical guitar study.
More
advanced
guitarists
with
a
wish
to
expand
their
repertoire,
or
with
their
own
learning
plan,
of course may want to deviate from the three stages learning program.
Electric guitar & Bass guitar
Lessons
are
preferably
given
with
a
"clean"
guitar
sound
in
order
to
keep
the
original
characteristics
of
the
instrument
and
amplifier
intact
as
much
as
possible.
Apart
from
some
built-
in
basic
sound
effects
on
the
guitar
amplifier,
no
use
is
made
(after
all,
everyone
has
their
own
preference) of elaborate external effect equipment.
The
study
covers
among
other
things,
accompaniment
of
pop
songs,
country/rock,
blues
and
jazz
ballads
(most
students
bring
their
own
teaching
material
for
this
usually
in
the
form
of
a
songbook),
improvisation
technique,
the
practical
use
of
jazz
chords
(usually
by
learning
'mainstream' jazz ballads) and tone control techniques applicable to the electric guitar.
Western/Steel-string guitar
In
the
early
thirties
of
the
last
century
this
steel
stringed
acoustic
guitar
was
the
favorite
instrument
of
emerging
popular
USA
Country-
and
Folk
entertainers,
and
later
(in
particular
the
so-called
Dreadnought
model
due
to
the
extra
loud
basses)
was
THE
choice
for
playing
Bluegrass
music
which
was
an
upcoming
music
style
initiated
by
an
folk
artist
by
the
name
of
Bill
Monroe.
Nowadays
the
steel-string
guitar
has
earned
its
popularity
as
a
workhorse
for
many
guitarists, and is used in almost all musical genres.
Coaching
on
western
guitar
includes
accompaniment
techniques
for
both
singing
(Bluegrass
songs,
trad.
Folk
music,
Jazz
ballads
&
singer
songwriter
genre)
and
instrumental
songs
in
'flatpick'
and/or
'fingerpicking'
style,
including
fiddle
tunes
from
the
North
American,
Canadian
and Celtic repertoire (jigs, reels, hornpipes etc.) and Country-blues style fingerpicking.
