I hope my students are practicing!

Young Eddie doesn't seem to be practicing much in my household. I hope Young Angus is!

I hope these two are ready for a test next Friday...

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Lesson I

Who's Eddie and why did he eat dynamite?

Here is what I have to work with ; )

I handed out notebooks and began lessons with describing the parts of a guitar (neck, frets, etc...) Next, we went into describing how to hold the guitar and pick.

Introduced A5, D5 and E5 chords, staccato and palm muting...utilizing a one lesson version of emedia's Rock method.

All in all the first lesson went well - homework was assigned and due back in two weeks!

Taking on the Challenge!

Can a 39 year old (hard working man) self-taught guitarist without much skill (and who hasn't played in years) teach a 10 and 14 year old to play? Stay tuned in the weeks that follow!
