For most people it is the south eastern corner of the state that lies north of New York city. Some refer to the northern parts as upstate. Point being folks is s1120 lives 6 hours south of me. :lol: Sorry I can't be of any assistance what so ever. Yeah, location terms are quite relative. I live in Southern Louisiana and here they refer to people who live in Shreveport as "Yankees".]]> Guitar Players Discussion Rum Runner https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368365 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368354 Wed, 03 Aug 2011 04:30:51 +0000 Upstate New York I thought I might be of assistance.

The problem though is it is a skill to be a good teacher just like being a good player and just because someone is an excellent player doesn't mean they would necessarily be a good teacher. Add that to the fact that most guitar players haven't been trained academically most lack the skills to be a truly good teacher.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368343 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368341 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 22:34:12 +0000
I am on a search too, and after being with many teachers, I am constantly comparing to my first. He taught from a method book, but there was also my own stuff that I brought in. I would bring in tapes of music that I liked and we would "learn" the music that I brought in. Every week I had an assignment from the book and from my own music, and if I came in the next week and hadn't done the assignment, guess what? I got to have the same assignment until I got it right. First thing tune up, play my piece for him to listen to, go over material in book, go over some tape and a half hour flew by like a minute. But I left each week feeling like I was actually working really hard, and had a solid path I was going down but with my own style.

I can only say for tips I have been trying to find someone that matches these points for me, structure, planning, accountability, and the ability to help each student walk down their own individual path.

Questions I try and ask relate to what materials or method the teacher uses. I've heard alot of teachers say that they tailor each program to the student, which may be true. If the teacher is good. OR I feel it could also mean they have no flippin idea what they want to do and are flying by the seat of their pants. I also ask about what style of music they like and are comfortable teaching. I got burned on someone that taught "all styles", and was treated to listening to him imitate Joe Pass in everything that he played.

Hope it helps.]]> Guitar Players Discussion obsessed76 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368341 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/its-time-guitar-lesson-info-needed/#post-368163 Sun, 24 Jul 2011 22:42:36 +0000
Watch out for Harvey the bear, though (we never saw him when we were there but we saw the evidence;) David's halfway up a mountain and you might not get out alive bwaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaaa. I noticed that today. I'm not REALY that far. I'm about a 1/2 hour southeast of Albany , not far from mass.
