I will be the first to admit that I am more of a singer who plays guitar, than a guitar player who sings. Over the past year of playing many shows, I have learned a great deal more about guitar and feel much more confident on my instrument now. But I don't spend hours a day playing guitar scales and I have no desire to add screaming guitar solos into any of my songs.
So recently a good family friend asked me if I would teach his son how to play guitar and my first thought was, man, if my guitar player friends heard that I was teaching they would laugh. But as I started to think more about this opportunity, I realized that a) I love to teach, doesn't really matter what it is. b) Compared to a person who has just picked up guitar, I know many things that I can teach them. So I agreed to take on his son as my first student and I have spent many hours preparing for what I will teach him. I'm a bit nervous about this, but I'm also really excited to what him develop as a young musician. If this goes well, I will be taking more students and will keep teaching them everything I can until they need to be referred to someone who plays at a much higher level.
Here goes nothing.
