In my guitar lessons, especially for beginners, you can expect to learn the basic parts of the guitar, proper hand positioning, how to hold a pick, basic chords, simple strumming patterns, and possibly a short melody, with a focus on building good technique and understanding the instrument's fundamentals before moving on to more complex playing; I will assess your skill level and tailor the lesson accordingly, providing practice exercises to work on between sessions.-Key points to expect in a guitar orientation: Learning the names of the different` parts of the guitar (strings, neck, body, headstock).-Proper posture: Correct hand placement and body positioning to avoid strain.-String identification: Understanding the order of the strings and how to properly tune them.-Basic techniques: How to hold a pick, strumming patterns, fingerpicking.-Chord learning: Starting with simple open chords and gradually progressing to more complex ones.-Music theory basics: May include learning basic note names and how to read tablature.-Practice assignments: Your teacher will give you specific exercises to practice at home between lessons.-Individualized approach: A good teacher will adapt the lesson to your learning style and goals. Lessons are based on your experience level: Beginner: Focus on foundational techniques, basic chords, and simple melodies. Intermediate: More complex chords, scales, picking techniques, and potentially learning to read standard notation.
