Beginner training plan
Your first lessonMy approach with beginning students is to ask them what they want to learn and we start there because I have found from teaching many years that’s the best way to motivate beginning students to learn.
Lesson 2-3Beginning students can expect in lessons two and three to start to solidify some basic skills, such as tuning, right hand picking, and left-hand chords as well as get a clear idea of what direction we are going.
Lesson 4-10In lessons four through ten beginners will be able to play on about 3 to 5 different songs and start working toward putting licks, riffs, and chords together in time.
Lesson 11+In lessons 11 and on beginners will learn how to improvise using scales, be able to play entire songs, and move on to higher concept such as music theory and more intermediate/advanced techniques such as alternate picking and hammer on and pull offs.
Advanced training plan

Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three for an advanced player would be to introduce repertoire and techniques in whatever their primary areas of interest are such as jazz, metal, country, etc…
