PRIVATE GUITAR LESSONS BY MARK W. BATCHELDER
FIRST LESSON: In the first lesson with a beginner, I introduce proper posture and technique (how to hold the guitar, hands, and pick) and some simple chords and rhythm so that we can play a song! In the first lesson with a more experienced student we begin with what the student is comfortable playing and discuss the student's goals so that we can focus on skills and songs the student would like to learn. I always center my lessons around playing songs.
STUDENT: The ideal guitar student is someone who WANTS to play guitar! A person who is self-motivated can overcome the usual difficulties of learning a new skill. Taking guitar lessons makes the learning process easier and more fun because progress is faster. If there are songs you want to play, let's work on making the music happen!
APPOINTMENT: I am able to schedule lessons during the day or evening. Please call me at 817-926-5555 for an appointment.
INFLUENCES: My band is the Panther City Rounders. My musical influences include: The Beatles, John Denver, The Eagles, Hank Williams, Steve Miller, and many more. I have played rock, country, blues, and folk guitar for over 40 years.
STYLES: I teach acoustic guitar and electric guitar in these music styles: rock, blues, country, folk, and pop.
LEARN: You can chose to work with me on any of the following: playing songs, transcribing songs, scales and exercises, guidance in equipment selection, music theory, lead guitar, rhythm guitar, vocal accompaniment, performance, improvisation, jamming skills, bass guitar basics, reading music, and more!
