Hi, my name is Kyle and I am your new guitar teacher. I’ve been playing guitar for close to 20  years. I have played in a touring band in which I wrote and performed all of our songs, live and in-studio. Along the way, I have taught people to master their guitar or get past a plateau in their playing.  

The lessons on offer are split into 3 categories: 

‘New-To’ - (4:00 - 4:45) exactly as it says on the tin - never played guitar before or just started putting fingers onto fretboard but want to start or start improving. 

These lessons will familiarize you with the guitar and your new best friend, the fretboard.  Lessons at this level will also get your hands moving to make chord shapes and play single notes as well as introduce you to strumming patterns. 

‘Beginner’ - (5:00 - 5:45) you have a basic grasp of some chords or notes, maybe they sound a little tinny or rattle when you play.  

These lessons will focus on improving your playing ability for chords, notes, riffs, and basic solos. Here we will encourage smooth chord changes, clean notes, and introduce you to some  scales to help with the ripping solos you’re about to play (except here we make it more exciting  than it sounds to learn scales) 

‘Intermediate’ (6:00 - 6:45)

At this level, you are already playing along to some songs you like and can change chords and play notes relatively cleanly.  

These lessons refine your knowledge and ability to play lead over chords and understand the song structure. We will also build your speed on notes and chords. Another focus at this level is picking - we’ll explore all the cool ways you can use your pick (or fingers) to create rhythm and hooks on the guitar. 

I’m proud to be partnering with ArtZone to bring these lessons to you and hope you will enjoy the journey to guitar legend. See ya in class!
