Students that are beginners can expect to learn the fundamentals, basic chord grips, picking and strumming technique, single note melodies, the most basic theory, and most importantly, how to play their favorite songs in order to get them having fun as soon as possible. Intermediate players, being a very broad stratum of guitarists, can in short expect to learn whatever I feel like or they feel like they need or want to learn; different styles, improvisation, songwriting, arpeggios, scales, modes, advanced theory, special techniques such as two-hand tapping, artificial and natural harmonics, and much more. Advanced players can expect to get help developing their own individual styles as guitar players, can expect to learn more about band dynamics and how to approach playing in many different cenarios, voice leading & inversions, advanced songwriting techniques, and may (possibly) even get opportunities for practical performing experience.
