Watch our video with Darryl to tell you more about how we can help you learn the electric guitar.
Do you ever wonder how people get so amazing at playing the electric guitar?
Do you ever felt frustrated by your progress on the guitar?
Have you thought how you can learn to play and improve at lightening speed?
Would you like to learn the guitar the fun and easy way?
Do you want to be able to express yourself through playing your favourite songs or even your own written tracks?
Have you thought about performing, jamming or playing with other people?
It's easy to admire the result of someone's hard work and diligence from years of practise and see the amazing result. We see them playing the guitar with such ease and poise. We often neglect to think of the progress they have taken to get to this stage. We only see the resulting event of their success. While we look upon these people, it's easy to get frustrated with our own progress on the guitar. This is a common issue especially for people who lack direction and guidance from a teacher or mentor. We have many students come to us who have been playing for years and feel lost, they feel a lack of inspiration, and are hoping to regain that passion they once had. To feel the enthusiasm of playing and learning. Exploring new and exciting techniques and styles.
Being able to truly master the guitar is something that many of us pursue. We want to do this while enjoying the process, learning in the most easy way while having fun at every stage. It can be frustrating to feel like unable to express yourself, when you don't feel confident playing a song, or feel confident how to translate your ideas into your own music. On top of this, many of us feel nervous when asked to play in front of other people, or performing. This is a very common problem that is very easily solved and we have helped many people overcome this fear. It is the easiest part of our job and also most rewarding too.
Why has learning the guitar been confusing/frustrating/difficult for me?
Many people ask themselves this every day. There are various answers to this. For one, you may have been using materials that are non congruent with your skill level. This can happen for a beginner or advanced player. It's difficult to determine what direction and which materials right for you. You go in search for more content on the internet, books, youtube. Only to get lost in a sea of information. You start learning something, which turns out to be too easy (so it doesn't advance you) or it's too difficult (you just struggle as get frustrated. You may be learning the wrong techniques, which makes playing more difficult in both the short and long run.
You may not be practising correctly. Practising is a skill. When you practise effectively, the results and progress you get is very different to trying to play through songs.
You may not be on the right path that leads you to your goal. Another common mistake guitarist make is playing songs, or learning techniques that won't help you achieve what you want to do long term. Learning techniques in the wrong order or not in partnership with each other. On top of this, there is also theory as well, that when integrated and understood can really benefit one's playing. This is often missed by guitarist, or they learn the content but do not truly understand it's potential and uses in playing.
You are confused by what you really want to achieve on the guitar and what your goals are. Playing the guitar has endless possibilities. There is a fountain of styles, tracks, inspiration to take from. Especially with the access one has to the internet. It can be confusing what goals are realistic and achievable. And also what you truly want to do and play on the guitar! Sometimes players don't even know about setting goals, and just get overwhelmed by all the possibilities.
You could have been getting the wrong timescale for how long the learning process take. Guitarist often have ideas of what they want to do on the guitar, but don't know if it's achievable in that timescale. This can cause overwhelmed or even boredom in the pursuit. Sometimes players can over estimate how long it will take to learn something, and can potentially be progressing on other elements and
You've learnt content, new techniques, but don't know how to integrate. This is a very common frustration, you've learnt a few great songs, you know a little about theory, can play in a few styles. However, when it comes to improvising or playing what's in your head, or transitioning from one to other. That part gets confusing. Just learning content but not knowing how to integrate can feel extremely frustrating and really limits your ability to advance as a musician.
To solve all these problems, you need someone to guide you, provide you the right content at the right amount and at the right time. They need to help train you, ensure you practise correctly so you get maximum progress and result for the amount of time you spend practising. Teach you how to integrate that into your playing to ensure that you aren't just learning content, but you can apply that knowledge and technique to new songs, new styles, improvisation, song writing, performing, solos and so much more.
What often happens with other guitar teachers and why we are different
-
Other Guitar Teachers:
- They don't listen to what you want to achieve long term and create a plan that helps you achieve it and give you random songs to play which doesn't help you achieve what you want to.
- They don't teach you music theory or teach you way too much, which means you can get confused, not understand it, forget it very easily, waste a lot of time and energy
- They give you way too much content, at the wrong time, at the wrong level. This causes all the same problems as you just using any internet or app where it causes frustration, overwhelm and confusion and will slow down your progress.
- The teacher will play and talk more than you do. Maybe they are trying to show off. But this is not productive towards your playing and progress.
