Beginner training plan
Your first lessonDay one: explanation of how to hold the instruments, finger numbers, basic hand positions. Probably start on a scale and an easy song, and maybe some chords, depending on how it goes.
Lesson 2-3More scales, songs that are slightly more challenging, and maybe some drum and picking patterns, as well as other chords
Lesson 4-10Beginning to use the entire neck with more advanced chords and songs. Everybody’s different so from here on in it’s up to the student. My job is to keep it fun, and keep you coming back.
Lesson 11+We’re at the point where the student can start playing in different styles and improvising, basic solos and chord substitutions, as well as more advanced right hand work. Again everybody’s different and it’s up to the student how far they want to be pushed along.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFigure out where the student is in terms of music, knowledge and technique. Sometimes a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, they may need to step back a bit to refine their technique.
Lesson 2-3Building upon the first lesson, we start to takeoff with more advanced harmony, and songs, and if necessary, soloing and improvising over this music
