Beginner training plan

Your first lessonGet to know the student—what types of music do they listen to, what’s their learning style, do they have any previous musical experience, etc… We go over how the guitar works & makes sound, it’s different parts—-how to hold it, fret notes and pluck strings.

Lesson 2-3Develop rhythm, melody and touch by learning songs, reading music, practicing scales and exercises.

Lesson 4-10Continue to develop rhythm, melody and touch—introduce chord forms.

Lesson 11+Continue to develop rhythm, melody and touch.

Advanced training plan

Your first lessonGet to know the student—what types of music do they play/listen to, are there any specific areas in their playing they’re looking to address? Lessons with experienced players are tailored to the individual and their desired learning outcomes. Common areas of focus include: theory & functional harmony, scales & arpeggios, position playing, reading, transcription and improvisation.

About your guitar teacher

Ryan was raised in a musical household and began taking lessons from the time he was able to wrap his hands around a guitar neck. He is well versed in a variety of genres and styles including Rock, Jazz, Blues and Americana. He works with students of all ages and levels of experience and tailors lessons to the individual (no one size fits all approach). Beginning students start with simple melodies and basic chord forms. Advanced players develop theory, harmony, composition, improvisation.

Tom

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Ryan for the past 9 months, and it has been a great experience. Ryan is a skilled teacher who really listens to his students and adapts lessons to their individual goals and challenges. He is comfortable teaching all levels of ability and takes the time during each lesson to focus on what I’m currently working on or struggling with. I never feel rushed, and his teaching style is patient, encouraging, and practical. I’ve made noticeable progress because of the way he tailors lessons to my needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive guitar teacher.

Nathan

Have been taking lessons for a few months and have made great progress. Ryan quickly understood how I learn and adapted his teachings to meet me where I'm at in my guitar journey. Would highly recommend for any level of playing

Stefan

I’ve been taking guitar lessons with Ryan @ Nob Hill for 3 months now and highly recommend it! I’m happy with the progress I’ve made so far with his help. Ryan’s teaching style is flexible and adaptive — providing a good balance between theory, ear training, and fun. I appreciate that Ryan travels to teach in your home making lessons more relaxing and productive. Give Nob Hill Guitar a shot!
