Here are some usual cases!
-the ones who want to learn eveyrthing all the way from the start (including reading score ofcourse)
-the ones who want to learn to play some chords, a few songs and that's it. Not bothering for a theoritical approach.
-the ones (young ones) their parents send to spend an hour outside their home (some sort of baby-sitting). sounds funny? welcome to Greece.

SO. I don't want to pre-construct my lessons. On the contrary I try to avoid that. Every student requires a completely unique approach and lesson. I only want the right material to work on.

Imagine yourself (not to mention a young child) at home trying to do your "homework" from a book that has some notes or tabs between chineese letters. It wouldn't be that attractive...

Any kind of suggestion is still welcome!]]> Opinions and Polls Mr.Tinkertrain https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211963 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211919 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 18:27:27 +0000
My lessons involve going over exercises for the first half of the lesson and then a song that I want to learn for the other half. It seems to work well I've had a couple teachers now and I enjoy this method the best.

I am not learning to read music (OK so I'm old and lazy) but even if I were I don't see where language would be an issue unless we each spoke a different language. He writes everything on tab paper and I work off of that.

Sounds like you just want pre-constructed lessons to use for your students. Since it seems like you are able to read/write in english why don't you just get a few books and build your own lessons based on the progressions in the books, then the students wouldn't need to know English or any other non-native language.]]> Opinions and Polls cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211919 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211899 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 16:11:29 +0000
What's important in method books, for those with a teacher, is the quality and order of the exercises.]]> Opinions and Polls kingpatzer https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211899 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-211876 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 09:30:39 +0000 yours is a good question to ask.
I will search around with my resources and see what I can find.
I will look around my community as well.

I've always believed that living in a big city (or coutry even better) gives you a great amount of opportunities. Lately, I realized that there are no guitar methods translated in greek!
All the books are from the UK or USA! Written in english! how are my 9 or 12 year-old students going to read them, when they can barely use their own language?

Anyway I've spent some time searching within the web for books but the only thing I could see was a cover of a book and a briefing of what's in it.

What I am looking for, is books for beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
I think I've spent way too many hours thinking and writting down my own excercises and licks! It's a great personal work I've made which made me happy, but still cannot meet my demands for teaching!
I would be greatful for some suggestions!

Sadly, I know there are hundreds of diamond-books I don't have the chance to read...]]> Opinions and Polls Mr.Tinkertrain https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/searching-with-the-lights-shut-down/#post-22213
