Who’s this session suitable for?

High beginner to intermediate players. Even players who are relatively new to the guitar will get some great ideas and approaches from these sessions. Acoustic or electric guitars are usually fine for the sessions.

 

Home practice

The session is approx. 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.

The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs, backing tracks and video  recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
