What Jazz song should I learn at my guitar lesson today?

September 142011

I’ve been playing guitar for a while though I’m still trying to get the hang of Jazz. Last week we went over "Blue Bossa" and the week before that we went over "So What?". What’s a somewhat simple yet fun jazz tune I should ask him to show me today?

Take your pick from this book.

The C Real Book:

I suggest Lullaby of Birdland, Afternoon in Paris, When Sunny Gets Blue, How Insensitive, Scrapple From The Apple, Darn That Dream, Oleo, and All The Things You Are. Some of those are a little difficult to learn, like Scrapple, Afternoon, and Oleo, but great songs to have in your arsenal

How much should I charge 2 people for a guitar lesson at the same time?

September 122011

Just started teaching guitar via Craigslist, and got a request to teach 2 women at the same time, for an hour. I’ve been doing 15 bucks an hour for one. Should it be 30?

I would charge between $15 and $25 for the combination./

Are there any good guitar lesson books out there?

September 92011

People who do online lessons just give you a big list of lessons and tell you to learn guitar, i kinda want some order, would some kind of guitar lesson book do that for me?
I’ve been playing for 3 months and i feel like i kinda stopped moving foreward, making progress. It’s kind of annoying.

There are some great books.
Go to the music store and look through them. find one that looks good to you.
There are too many types of guitar playing for me to list books for all of them.
Basic guitar
Try Mel Bay books

Does guitar lesson on the weekends and part time job considered as extracurricular activities?

September 22011

I don’t join any sports or after school clubs but I do get straight As and I have guitar lesson and a part time job, and I do join the anime and orchestra club but that’s it, will I be able to put that on my collage application and still get accepted?

You can put all of that on your college (sp.) application. A job is always an acceptable substitute for extracurricular activities.

August 272011

I am looking for a way to learn guitar in my free time. Between work and school I don’t have time for actual lessons.

Well there are some apps showing chords and scales so you can definitely learn something from them http://mattodegaard.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/my-fav-guitar-apps-for-the-iphone/

Would it be awkward to wear my guitar teacher’s band shirt to a lesson?

August 242011

My guitar teacher is in a band and I went to a concert wear he was an opening band. I bought a shirt to help his band. I wanted to wear the shirt but I don’t know if it would be awkward to wear a shirt (with his face on it) to one of my guitar lessons.

I wouldn’t think much of it. I’d probably just say "Hey nice shirt!" and appreciate the support and free advertising my student was supplying for my band.

What song should I learn for my next guitar lesson?

August 222011

I need to pick another song to learn. I have lessons, but I always have a fun song. I’ve already done:
No Rain
Seven Nation Army
Free Fallin
Run Around
Breakeven
Wish You Were Here

This is basically what I like. I’m a 13 y.o. girl but I don’t exactly like pop music. I’ve only been taking lessons for a year on an acoustic guitar, so nothing too hard please. Thank you! (10 points I have until Wednesday!)

Wonderwall - Oasis

VERY easy song to play and learn, and a fun one, too. I think it probably goes with the style of songs you’ve already posted.

Also, if you want to learn more Tom Petty, "Last Dance With Mary Jane" isn’t that hard. The only part that might be tricky for a beginner is the hammer on for the A Minor chord, but all of the chords in the song are open.

should i have to pay for a consultation before guitar lesson?

August 202011

I am starting guitar lessons this week , well , more like I am talking to my future teacher , it won’t really be a lesson. I am going to be paying her at the the end of the month, do you think she is going to charge for the consultation, or whatever? I believe we will just be talking about certain guitar books, etc.

opinions, experiences??

There is no way I would pay for a consultation. It’s like shopping in a store. You check the merchandise, see if you like it, and if so, move ahead and pay for it.

The most outrageous charge I’ve ever seen was a neighbor whose dog was old and infirm and had to be put to sleep. The veterinarian charged them an extra $25 for GRIEF COUNSELING. All the vet did was ask her if she was sure that was the right decision and asked her if she was going to be OK to drive home.

There are some money-grubbing people out there and you’ll recognize them when they charge for breathing the air in their lobby.

But, just to be sure, always ask in advance if the consultation is free.
