...fill those gaps. For true mastery of a subject or field, I believe that having a teacher to take the time and effort with a student towards detailed learning can only, in time, prove beneficial in the grander understanding of a given topic. Every student (everyone, truly, for are we not all students?), in varying degrees of severity, learns differently, takes in the world around them differently, and manifests that information differently. No one teaching...

I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring.

Emerson said that the secret of education is respecting the student. I have the greatest respect for that part of the human spirit that is curious and wants to learn. I find that if students feel they are listened to and heard, this allows them to feel encouraged. When they begin to understand that learning can be fun, the whole process becomes exciting and joyful. We are all curious and like to learn.

Cambridge Guitar Tutoring FAQ
Learning to play guitar is a fairly fluid process but there are many things to learn. A guitar tutor must find what level the student is at and understand the type of guitar playing they are most interested in. Varsity Tutors can connect you with a guitar tutor who can provide a proper amount of practice and help you work on improving your technique and abilities.
Guitar tutoring can focus on many topics, including:
The parts of a guitar
Holding a guitar properly
Fretboard notes
Chords
Scales
Solos
Improvising
Rhythm
Learning the guitar can be very exciting, but requires a lot of practice. You must follow through with activities even when not with your tutor, but a tutor can be not just a teacher but also someone to play along with. Lessons can first be organized around explaining the parts of the guitar, so you understand what the fretboard, sound hole, tuners, and saddle do. Beginning in standard tuning, your tutor can show you the notes on each string and how to identify them as you play and move from fret to fret and string to string.
If you are ready to work with chords, your tutor may structure lessons around open chords or power chords. They can move on to barre chords if you're ready. When it comes to guitar tutoring, there are many levels of learning, and a tutor can move through them depending on your pace and style of learning. You can receive help with soloing along with various techniques such as bends and alternate picking.
Improvisation and song creation are a big part of being a guitar player. Your tutor can provide invaluable practice and suggestions in terms of rhythm, strumming, and picking. Whatever you're learning, there's not usually an obvious way to teach guitar. That's why a personal tutor can be so beneficial. Individualized help can focus on the topics you need the most work in, and on developing the confidence to continue moving forward.
There are different types of guitar lessons. They may be text, graphical, or video based. Guitar tutoring can be a flexible and exciting experience. If you're fascinated and motivated, Varsity Tutors can connect you with a qualified instructor so your search for "guitar tutoring near me" is complete. We can also set you up on a Live Learning Platform, so you can use a mobile device to conduct digital study sessions. To learn more, contact us today!
