Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first step is to do an evaluation of where the student is and where he wants to be. Then we will make a plan to accomplish those goals. In addition we will start looking at some of the basic techniques and strategies to understand how the Guitar works๏ฟผ and what he/she will learn. Then initial practice assignments will be made focusing on dexterity control.
Lesson 2-3We will review the first chords and notes to learn and introduce a basic 7 tone scale. We will concentrate on good fingering and string sounding techniques.
Lesson 4-10We will add more chord formations for various keys and focus on learning to change chords quickly developing muscle memory skills. Weโll add more notes to our playing skills and scale development.
Lesson 11+We will start focusing on minor and seventh open chords using folk songs as Seanโs of practicing. We will complete our note reading studies on all six strings then weโll start looking at intermediate techniques like strumming and simple finger style songs. Barr chords will come later.
