BEWARE THE 'KNOW IT ALL' GUITAR TEACHER
Charlie Wallace of Guitar Mastery sums this type of teacher up nicely.
"It’s when they use long-winded, confusing explanations to over-complicate things on the guitar…
They splatter the walls with graphs, grids and equations on how to rock, it feels more like a 12th grade math class than a freakin’ guitar lesson...
if you’re tired of these kinds of guitar teachers conspiring to bury you in theory textbooks while you still struggle to play a damn C chord…"
If this sounds familiar then your not alone... I have been there myself. Sat there with my guitar just waiting to play...only to be told that "Frank Zappa uses the mixolydian mode a lot" zzzzz
How do you avoid this situation? The answer lies in TESTIMONIALS. Its simple if a student isnt learning anything in their guitar lessons its highly unlikely that they will leave a testimonial for their teacher. Not only that its also very unlikely that anyone else will leave them a testimonial either. So if you are approached by a teacher for guitar lessons simply ask them for testimonials and see their reaction. If they cannot provide them the answer is simple...politely refuse and walk away.

Treecreeper Guitars - Best Local Guitar Setup & Repair Service!
Thanks to Dougie Wibberley of Treecreeper Guitars, Lees, Oldham for repairing and setting up my Fender Jazzmaster (below). The guitar now looks and plays better than ever! Top professional job by Dougie miles better than the local music shop who managed to make a hash of the action on my Takamine acoustic. Dougie sorted all the frets, the action and the whammy bar for a very reasonable price so I will definitely be using him again in the not to distant future. Maybe he can lower the action on my Takamine instead of making it higher like Music Direct did!
