Learn how to play the Guitar in easily digestible steps

The guitar is a fascinating and versatile musical instrument to play.
I know how exciting and challenging it could be, to pick up a musical instrument like the guitar, and set yourself on a mystery journey of an advenrure, as you learn how to play with it.

My aim, as a private guitar tutor is, to pass on to you a vital skill of which myself over the years have been on the selfsame journey as I keep learning and teaching.

In reasonable time span, you should be playing your favourite tunes on the guitar, having great fun. In due time, l will also be helping you with the basic concepts of the Music Theory underpinning your guitar playing - a universal musical language that enables you interact seamlessly,
and efficiently communicate with other musicians.

About Me

Hey there!

Vick here, Musician/guitarist and most importantly your Guitar Mentor, from Africa based in Manchester UK.

My musical background is rooted in a variety of African traditional rhythms, as well as, in gospel music, Afro-pop music, and Afro-beat.

Also, I am massively influenced by world and western music styles such as western pop and rock music, reggae music, 12 bar blues, and acoustic folk music.

It's quite a rich palette of musical experience and influence, which I suppose places me in a good place so that, I will be able to craft a unique sounding sound, making a distillate out of such a rich palate.

As your Guitar Tutor my primary motivation is to enable you, my students, to teach by guiding, so that you should progressively acquire the needed guitar player skill and techniques, eventually leading you to the kind of playing and mastery that should surely enable you as a motivated student, to turn out as flexible as can adapt your guitar playing and music to fit into any genre you may choose to play with. Basics of Music Theory also helps a good deal!

In my guitar class one of my cornerstone performance and achievement goal is to, get my students to be able to manage the pressure that comes with this guitar learning adventure; get you to relax, have some fun, enjoy learning as they experience the thrill on the way to scoring their goal. And soon you should be enjoying your hard and won achievement if you kept on course and did not chicken- out.

Education

In the course of my life, I may say my education has been both in the formal and informal settings. I have learn a lot in between the classroom walls as well as in the open Uni.

Experience / Qualifications

3 yrs of guitar private teaching, a present rhythm and lead guitarist in a Manchester based Afro- reggae fussion band member, and 3 years of Private Guitar teaching experience. DBS qualified
The guitar is a star and fascinating of musical instruments . Such a beautiful gadget that anyone would want to have a go at it, even if it's only to feel the touch of it. The first time I saw the guitar that's how I felt but also I was at a loss what the various parts that form the instrument were, what exactly are they for and what do they do. Many guitar fans are out there, some dreaming about playing the guitar but who seem at sea too as to where to start and how to go about it. For many the shape and the decorations on the guitar body is a great puzzle that needs answers. In this introductory class my aim is to get you to derive more fun from, and deeper interest in the guitar as your favourite musical instrument. In the end you will be fully enabled to give a good account of your guitar body parts both to yourself and to other curious outsiders so to speak. It should turn your learning to play the guitar proper more of a fun and enjoyable experience as any guitar student who come under my tutelage should testify.

Guitar workshops: personalized lessons / private training
Folk or classical acoustic guitar. The teaching philosophy is adapted to the level of each individual, according to the pace of work and motivation. For example, for beginners: Technique of the plectrum or fingers, coordination and correction of the right and left hand. Learning basic chords, simple themes, simple rhythms, reading tablatures (...). For intermediaries: development of rhythm, construction of chords, writing of tablatures, basic notions of harmony (...). Depending on your goals, you can learn, if you wish, to play 60 to 80% of current music from the first lessons, which often use the same chords and the same techniques. The objectives take into consideration the following points: -Study of various playing techniques, chords, harmony, music of your choice, rhythm, with reading of tablature, teaching structured around the repertoire you like, technique of developing the musical ear - Discovery of the neck, notes and basic positions of open chords - Left / right hand coordination and rhythm exercises for the right hand - Learning of different pieces of your choice - Left hand control exercises, speed and precision - Learning arpeggios - Work around muscle memory - Learning improvisation, musical play with others - Ear training: use your ears to find chords, melodies, sounds and techniques used -Spend a pleasant moment of exchange, without unnecessary institutional pressure, while obtaining concrete results -Understand and discover the many facets of an exciting and user-friendly instrument - Benefit from personalized advice on your posture and certain pitfalls to avoid when starting alone -Adjust and clarify your self-taught knowledge - Learn tablatures / tabs & in English. Note : - Possibility to use the guitar available on site, during the test phase. - As our teacher is also a singing teacher, it is possible to combine the two disciplines: guitar + vocal instrument, and to work on synchronization, style and accuracy. - Possibility of offering this course (birthday, party, Christmas, event ...) to the person of your choice. THE TEACHER : Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has worked for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field, in renowned international public and private establishments, with careful pedagogy and methodology as the watchwords. PLACES : - Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.
