“MASTER YOUR INSTRUMENT, MASTER THE MUSIC, AND THEN FORGET ALL THAT AND JUST PLAY” – Charlie Parker

Many questions arise when learning an instrument, and if self-teaching and learning from books and sites – there’s no person to ask. Not enough answers to your questions.
It so easily can be a state of confusion, then frustration, then half-attempt before moving onto some other perturbing guitar part, or even worse – giving the learning up!
Everyone has their own abilities and strengths and weaknesses, and rates of learning.

If you have a teacher to yourself – a teacher who will tailor his lesson plans, strategies and teaching style to personally fit you…then you are going to learn some special stuff!

Why learn with Freebird Guitar Tuition…

Well, what is it you want to do? Are you wanting to…

Finger pick a few folk songs?

Learn and understand theory?

Chug to classic rock tunes?

Play in a band?

Twang a bit of ukulele music?

Pluck some funky bass-lines?

Pull off some face-melting heavy metal solos

…or do you simply want to strum Kumbaya around a campfire?

Whatever the reason is for you wanting to learn or progress with guitar, and whatever stage it is that you wish to get to, I will:

• See what stage you’re at.
• Tweak lessons to give you an equal balance of challenges AND fun.
• Set targets which will keep you focused, determined and engaged.
• Concentrate less on rigid teaching structures and more on teaching in the manner that allows you to interpret and retain information.
• And offer you all the necessary tips, techniques, styles, and advice…which will get you to the point where you want to be.

And further!

Basically…the guitar is just a vessel for the music which is inside your soul.
It is one fun, versatile and forgiving medium from which you can channel your personality through. This is why music has the power and ability to vary so much – because everyone has their own circumstances, experiences, strengths, personalities, quests, influences, tastes………..and story.
