Canterbury Guitar Lessons With Michael

Canterbury Guitar Lessons With Michael I'm a very patient and experienced teacher. Mykl's Teaching Style
There are many teachers who will teach you songs or guitar riffs that you want to play.

What does that teach you? It teaches you a few cool riffs and is okay for a quick fix but doesn't help you in the long term. Mykl's approach is to teach you music. This means:

- you will understand how to use your fingers and arms in the most efficient way possible. Develop dexterity, speed and stamina while avoiding repetitive strain injuries, unlocking your potential as quickly as possible while developing habits that will allow you to play guitar for a lifetime;

- if you're learning acoustic or Classical Guitar you will learn how to get the most out of your instrument to make a richer, more powerful sound. Michael has studied how acoustic guitars are designed to work.

- you will learn how to use your guitar practise time more effectively to maximise you improvements in minimum time. The phrase 'practise makes perfect' is wrong. You could practise for hours and get worse if you don't know how to practise. Remember:

- you will be able to understand how music is made up. Understanding which notes work with which chords and even how to make your own guitar chords means you could write your own music or improvise;

only PERFECT practise makes perfect!
