Whether you're a beginner looking to learn the basics or an intermediate player seeking to improve your skills, I can guide you through the 
fundamentals and more advanced techniques, all to make you a competent musician. 

Here's a general outline of what you can expect to learn in guitar lessons over time:

1. Introduction to the Guitar: Familiarise yourself with the different parts of the guitar, how to hold it properly, and basic finger positioning.

2. Tuning: Learn how to tune your guitar, either using a tuner or by ear.

3. Developing a proficient sound technique: Normally one would say developing a proficient right-hand technique, but this is unfair to left-handers. 
Your instrument must create a sound beautiful enough to be heard by others, as well as you! You will learn techniques to create melodic and intricate 
patterns, for this to happen.  

4. Developing a proficient fingering technique. Normally one would say developing a proficient left-hand technique, but you guessed it. This would 
be unfair to left-handers, many of which are wonderful guitarists and musicians. The hand responsible for pressing down the strings on the fretboard 
is important to be able to play a wide variety of music with confidence and precision. Learn the proper techniques for this to happen. 

5. Reading music: Learn how to read music notation and play what you read. An essential skill for any musician, as it allows you to play harmony and 
melodies, as well as a variety of genres with various degrees of complexity. By learning to read music you will become an independent learner.

6. Music Theory: This is the study of the structure, elements and principles that govern music. It provides a framework for understanding how music 
works, why certain combinations of notes sound pleasing or dissonant and how music is written and performed. See the Theory page for more.

7. Improvisation: Learn how to improvise and create your own melodies and harmonies in real time. Historically, improvisation was not only for jazz 
or rock musicians. Classical musicians were once great improvisers, as it was a cornerstone of musicianship. Some great classical improvisers 
included: Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig van Beethoven, Clara Schumann, Joseph Joachim and Franz Liszt. It also 
explains why they were great composers. 

8. Ear Training: Develop your ear by learning to identify chords, melodies and harmonic progressions by listening. This is a vital skill for musicians 
that involves developing the ability to recognise and identify musical elements by ear. It allows musicians to better understand and interact with the 
music they hear, making them better performers, composers and improvisers. 

9. Music History: Music history is a fascinating journey through the evolution of music and its various styles, genres and cultural influences over 
time. All musicians should be familiar and have an understanding of the various musical genres, as this makes them better interpreters of the music 
they play. See the History page for more.
