METAL AND ROCK GUITAR
​SKYPE LESSONS

Learn to Play Metal and Rock Guitar by Building a Strong Foundation of Rock Solid Rhythm and Exceptional Technique

Rhythm is, bar far, THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL to have as a guitar player.

It doesn't matter if you want to be a rhythm or lead player - if your rhythm sucks, everything suffers. Yes, that absolutely includes guitar solos.
​
When you and I work together, you will learn all the ins and outs of playing and understanding rhythm in music. This will make everything you play sound better, feel better, AND allow you to play as fast as humanly possible.

Lesson Progression is Tailored to Every Single Student - There is No One Size Fits All Approach Here

It doesn't make sense to have an advanced player go through the same material a beginner would need.

​Because everyone is at a different skill level, different knowledge level, learns at varying paces, and retains information in their own unique way, lesson plans are designed to fit everyone on a case by case basis.

How you progress with your lesson material will determine how each lesson will go.

You, the Student, are Expected to Work!

These lessons are for those passionate about playing guitar!

These lessons are not for those who only want to touch their instrument 1 or 2 days a week. This is not a weekend activity or an after school project. 

Practice needs to happen at least 5 days a week, for at least 30 minutes each practice session. This is required to make progress with your lessons.

If you feel unable to commit to the minimum amount of required practice time, then you are not ready for guitar lessons.

Materials You Will Receive

There is no need for you to go out and buy any additional materials. Everything you need for your lessons will be provided by me. (Except for your guitar, amp, etc. Can't help you with those!)

Lessons are written using Guitar Pro. If you do not have Guitar Pro you will receive PDFs of the music.

As each new piece of music to work on is written, I will send you the file via Skype messenger, or email.

After each lesson, you will receive a video recap. This is a video demonstration of all your new material covered in the lesson, plus any additional information I think may help you out during your practice.

The following videos are students providing feedback on their experience with take lessons online.
