If you are in the Oldwick area and interested in learning to play guitar (or learning to play better) I’m here to help!
If you play a bit already, you’re probably interested in playing a particular song or songs. We’ll choose one and break it down into manageable sections, getting it one piece at a time and at a comfortable speed for you. I’ll help you figure out any parts you’re having trouble with and offer suggestions for exercises that will help you overcome that problem. Timing, strumming, arpeggios, playing melody over chord changes, playing lead as well as rhythm guitar are all subjects we can focus on. I will also often create a custom video with supporting materials for your song specifically. I also offer ukulele lessons and I have loaner guitars and ukuleles to beginning students for a nominal fee.
The in-person lessons will often include a video which addresses specific problems you might be having and the video on this page is an example of that. You can subscribe to my video channel by clicking the “paul elwood guitar coach” logo on the lower right corner of the video.
