Book a guitar teacher in North Bay

Pricing depends on a few key elements:

The first steps in guitar are understanding your instrument, holding it correctly, keeping it in tune, and playing simple chords.

• Guitar anatomy: understanding terms like fret, nut, and bridge makes lessons much easier to follow.
• Posture and hand position: good posture protects your back and wrists while making chord changes smoother.
• Tuning: accurate tuning is essential because even perfect technique sounds wrong on an untuned guitar.
• Open chords: mastering a few open chords unlocks rhythm playing and sing-alongs.
• Strumming patterns: consistent strumming connects your chords into actual music.

Once you master these five areas, progressing to intermediate techniques becomes much easier.

This rule states that a minor pentatonic pattern shifted 3 frets lower becomes its relative major pentatonic.

• Example: if you know the Am pentatonic box at fret 5, moving it to fret 2 gives you G major pentatonic instantly.
• Why it matters: this doubles your melodic options using shapes you already know.
• Musical context: switch between them mid-solo to shift the mood from dark to cheerful.

Private lessons help you internalize this connection so switching scales becomes automatic.
