In general, there are two kinds of guitar players, those who are totally committed to doing everything within their power to reach their musical goals and those who have not yet fully dedicated themselves to becoming the guitarist and musician they want to be. Where are you and where do you want to be? No matter which group you are currently in, you must be here because you want to improve your guitar playing and musicianship. To begin, watch the video above and discover how correspondence guitar lessons will transform your playing, deepen your musicianship and help you reach your goals.
What Are The Benefits of Correspondence Guitar Lessons? As I explained in the video above, I will design a series of lessons specifically for you. Together you and I will work to solve your musical problems, overcome your frustrations and reach your musical goals in the best and fastest ways possible. Also, with typical live Private Lessons, there are often no recordings available of what was taught in the lessons, and this means that you will be more likely to forget some of what you learn over time. With Correspondence Guitar Lessons, you can always easily refer to all of your previous lessons.
Correspondence Lessons are also much more affordable than Live Private Lessons with me.
How Are These Guitar Lessons Different From Other Online Lessons?
These Correspondence Guitar Lessons are NOT merely a collection of licks and tabs. I do not send everyone the same lesson materials. What I do is very different from the typical "online guitar lessons" web sites. In other programs, all beginners receive the same first lesson, all intermediate students receive the same lessons, etc. That type of teaching never works well unless students are total beginners and are starting from zero skills and zero knowledge. That is why all the "online guitar lessons" that you buy on CD-ROM or DVD or in books typically don't give students very good results. It is also one of the reasons why what I do (correspondence lessons) is superior to other lesson products and programs offered on the internet. Each lesson is part of a long term customized strategy that I design for you based on your musical goals and musical challenges.
What Can You Learn Through Correspondence Guitar Lessons?
As described in the video above, you will learn everything you need to know in order to reach the specific goals that you have. This may require us to concentrate on only a few topics, or explore a larger variety of topics. Our lessons will focus on several of the most important areas of musicianship (each area will contain dozens of very specific lessons made just for you). Because your lessons will be custom made for you, I need to learn more about your current musical skills, background and musical challenges. However, here is a short list of possible topics we could get into:
and much, much more!!

Each of the above categories is very broad, and there is a huge amount of specific topics within each of these categories that can be included in your lessons (if they are appropriate for your long term goals). If your goals change over time (which they may), then I will change the strategy I have designed for you to accommodate your new musical needs.
Before we begin Correspondence Guitar Lessons, you will fill out a detailed evaluation form that contains questions about your musical background, current skill level, musical goals, and musical challenges. Based on your responses I will create a long term strategy designed to help you reach your goals in the fastest way possible. All of your lessons will be designed with this strategy in mind.
I have successfully taught hundreds of students via Correspondence (ranging from beginner to highly advanced professional guitar players). you can see and hear the results of a few of my noteworthy students on my Student Spotlight page. And you can also see and hear what my students say about the Correspondence Guitar Lessons on the Feedback page.
