I approach the way I teach the same way I started when I was 18. It’s got to be fun, engaging, and productive. It doesn’t matter how old are you, if you’re not enjoying what you’re learning then you’re not going to pick up your guitar to practice.

Thinking of writing songs? We’ll get the acoustic out and chat a little about how music theory works!
