Lessons

Good day,

I am presently looking for beginning to intermediate students who have an avid-and-sincere interest in studying the guitar.

About me...
I am a semi-retired individual, whom has a passionate interest in passing on to others what I have been able to glean over the years in both the pedagogical, the technical, and the performance aspects of the guitar.

I have over 40 years experience - in both the "professional" and the "tutoring" capacity, and have written an 800+ guitar instruction manual entitled "The Procedural|Linear Approach to Learning the Guitar". I have also scored over 2000+ arrangements for the guitar in solo, duet and "music-minus-one" formats.

Having also been involved professionally as the sole proprietor of a local computer servicing facility since the mid 90's, I also have experience working with "digital audio" such as...
– MIDI, Digital Audio Workstations, Mixer-in-a-box, and Guitar Amplifier Simulation|Modeling.
• Note: As a "computer consultant", I have written over 800+ technical articles covering a wide-rang of topics. With regards to digital audio, I have written well over 3000 documents covering all aspects of the guitar as it would pertain to digital audio and PC-based systems.

About the lessons...
The lessons provided are 1) private only, 2) in-studio only, and 3) instructor-led only, guitar instruction with the studio located in central Maple Ridge.
• A criminal record check is available if so desired.

About lesson fees....
The lessons will be provided absolutely-and-entirely "for free" and therefore, at no cost.
• No, THIS OFFER IS NOT A GIMMICK! I am truly sincere in my desire to assist other "like-minded" guitarists!
However, if a "stipend" is offered, such will be considered "for services rendered".
• Such a "stipend" - though suggested, is not necessarily expected.

Lesson Fees versus Lesson Content
Though the lessons are indeed "Free", the actual lesson content is not!.

Lesson content is any lesson material, supplementary material and/or information that is provided in a written format. Such material is made available at a per-page cost.

For example, the following are the costs associated with such lesson content:

• 1-10 pages: .25 per page
• 11-20 pages: .15 per page
• 21-30 pages: .10 per page

Note: The above costs do not include the actual printing costs - of which would therefore, be entirely covered by you.

The only note-worthy and important considerations are...
1) which was previously stated, to "...have an avid-and-sincere interest in studying the guitar",
2) that the perspective student understands what is meant by "instructor-led only", and
3) that the minimum age requirements is 12.

Thus, it is imperative, that perspective students understand what the terms, "avid", "sincere", "study" and "instructor-led only" really-and-truly mean in the context of the guitar and its music.

In closing...
If you should thus discover that you have interest in the above, please e-mail for my contact information - so that we can discuss the above in further detail.
• Please note, I do not own a cell, so I am unable to text.

In closing, I would like to thank you for both your time and attention to the above.
